Project Options

File Name and Type Specifies the name of the Project Description File and automatically shows the type of the project.
Project Directory Specifies the main Project Directory. In the standard case, this path is set when the project is created and is never changed. If the path specification (which can contain shell environment variables) evaluates to an absolute path, this is an absolute project (see "File Name and Type" above). If the path specification of this attribute evaluates to a relative path, this is a shared project and the complete Project Directory path is formed by adding this relative path to the directory path specified by the working environment root directories.
Read Only Indicates that the project is a library and doesn't use Shared Source Working Environments.
Update Shared Project Directory immediately Should only be selected if you want to immediately update the Shared Source Working Environment when you check in a file. If this button is selected and you check in a file, the file is automatically checked out to the Shared Source Working Environment (SSWE) that the current working environment accesses. This means that you must have write permissions in this SSWE. We recommend that you do not select this attribute and only update working environments at regularly scheduled times.
Do not create Symbolic Links to Source Files Symbolic links (local copies on Windows) between sources in Shared and Private Working Environments need only be created if you use SNiFF+ Make Support. Also, if you only want to browse (not compile) sources in a Shared Working Environment their is no need for symbolic links (local copies) to be created.
