Adding or Removing Files/Folders in the Main Files Directory

Adding Files/Folders to the Main File Directory

The Main Files directory can contain logical folders, linked folders, or linked files.

To add files in the Main Files directory, use one of the following methods:
  • Right-click a file from your project and select Add to Main Files from the contextual menu.
  • Select Add Files or Add Edited File from the contextual menu of the Main Files directory.
  • Drag and drop files into the Main Files directory.
  • From the contextual menu of the Referenced/Dependent Resources view, use the Add to Main Files action.
To add folders in the Main Files directory, use one of the following methods:
  • Right-click Main Files directory and select Add Folder from the contextual menu.
  • Drag and drop folders into the Main Files directory.

You can view the main files for the current resource by selecting Properties from the contextual menu of the Project view and the main files for the current editor in the Properties and Information views.

Removing Files/Folders from the Main Files Directory

The main files that are already defined in the project are automatically marked in the tree. To disable a main file or folder, remove it from the Main Files folder (for example, right-click and select Remove from Main Files). Removing files or folders from the Main Files folder does NOT delete the files from disk. It just removes the logical files from that logical folder in the project.
