      User Information:
      Cinema 4D Version:   r17 
      Platform:   Windows  ;   
      Language(s) :     C++  ;

      ---------
      I went back to R17 to update an old plugin.

      I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop in debug mode.
      Now every time I update something in my own code, the compiler tells me "Cinema.framework - Debug X.64" and my own project are "out of date".

      I do not understand why the framework is "out of date" and should be recompiled?
      Is there a wrong setting somewhere?

        I guess it has something to do with copying the plugin to another cinema 4d version and folder.
        I have to be more careful next time I guess and not just copy around.

          Hi Pim,

          it's not your fault. With R17 we had an issue, a bunch of files in the framework had a wrong file date, which caused the framework to be rebuilt all the time.
          Please see this thread https://developers.maxon.net/forum/topic/9607/12904_cinemaframework-compiles-with-each-build
