Managing Files in a Project
Projects are created and maintained within your existing directory structure, making it easy to control project contents. This allows you several options:
- Create a new project in an existing directory, optionally including sub-directories.
- Build a new directory structure specifically for the project and work directly in it or add folders and files as the project develops.
- Build a project locally, on the network, or on a remote server.
To create a project:
- Click Projects > New Project or click the New Project tool button.
- Enter a project name.
- Enter a directory path or server in the Location box or click the Browse button and select a location from either the Local or Remote tab.
- Optionally include sub-folders by clicking the checkbox.
- Enter file types for the project or select from the drop-down list.
- Click OK. The project file (.apj) is created in the project root directory.
Note
We recommend that you avoid using spaces in project folder and file names. Many servers do not recognize them.
To add a file to a project:
- Save the file to the project directory or copy an existing file there.
- Open the project from the projects drop-down list.
- Right-click on the project and select Add Files to Project.
- Select the file you want add from the list. You can filter the display in the Add Files dialog by selecting from the Files of Type list.
- Click OK to add the file. The file pane automatically refreshes.
To add files using Synchronize Project:
After adding files to the physical directory, you add files to a project by selecting the Synchronize Project command from the Projects menu or the context menu. The Synchronize Project dialog lets you restrict the file types to addb by selecting from the drop-down list of file types or by entering specific file extensions.
To remove a file from a project:
- Select one or more files in the file pane.
- Right-click and select Remove from Project.
Note
Using the Remove from Project command does not delete a file. It just removes the file from the project configuration file.
