The fields to the right of the Working Environments Tree display information about the working environment selected in the Working EnvironmentsTree. The information in the various fields is automatically filled in and updated after modifications. These fields can be set/modified using the Edit > Modify... menu command to open the Modify/New Working Environment dialog. See also Modify/New Working Environment dialog
Root fields
If the path to the selected working environment was specified using an environment variable, both this path and the expanded path are shown. If the working environment root was defined without using an environment variable, only this path is shown.

Generate Directory Root field
In most cases, you would leave the Generate Directory Root field empty.
In the Generate Directory Root field, you can specify the path of the root directory for the SNiFF+ - generated directories (SNiFF+ stores project-specific information in these directories). If you leave this field blank, these directories are generated directly in the project directories.
This leads to problems when SNiFF+ tries to store the generated directories in project directories for which you don't have write permission.
A situation where this may occur is with library projects, which are generally read-only. You can avoid this problem by entering the SNiFF+ - generated directories path in the Generate Directory Root field. The path of the root directory must be relative to the selected working environment's root directory.
