Removing files from a project

You may also have to remove source files from a SNiFF+ project in the course of your day-to-day development work. When you remove a file from a project, the file is not physically deleted; SNiFF+ simply edits the PDF, which means it must be writable (checked out). To make the PDF available to the rest of the team, you have to check in the PDF again.
To show how the process of removing files works, let's now remove
test.c .
In the Project Editor
The
pico.shared PDF should still be checked out (bold typeface).

  1. In the Project Tree, make sure the pico.shared project is highlighted so that SNiFF+ knows which project you intend to modify.
  2. Choose Project > Add/Remove Files to/from pico.shared...
In the Add/Remove Files dialog
  • To remove test.c from the project, double-click it in the Files In Project list and press Ok.

  • The file is removed from the project, but is still physically stored in the directory. Files in the project directory can later be easily added to the project again using this dialog.
In the Project Editor
The
test.c file no longer appears in the File List, and the icon in the Project Tree warns you that the project has been modified.
  1. To save the changes you made, choose Project > Save pico.shared.
    The icon in the Project Tree and the bold typeface in the File List indicate that the PDF is writable - you haven't checked it in yet.
  2. In the File List, make sure the pico.shared PDF is highlighted, and choose
    File > Check In...
  3. In the Check In dialog that appears, press Ok.
    The latest version of the PDF is now in the Repository. After your next working environments update (described in the following chapter), any changes to the project structure will be visible to all team members.
  • In the Launch Pad, close pico.shared - Username PWE:Pico PWE .
