DOCUMENT
• View Files in the Current Project button - Switches the view from the set of open files to the set
of all files in the current project, regardless of whether they are open or not. This view does not
show an indicator for modified files. This view can also be specified by using the right-click menu
inside the Files list. See Workspaces and Projects for more information about working with
projects.
• View Files in the Current Workspace button - Switches the view to the set of all files in the
current workspace. This view can also be specified by using the right-click menu inside the Files
list. See Workspaces and Projects for information about workspaces.
• Open a File for Editing button - Brings the selected file to focus in the editor. If a project or
workspace file is selected that is not currently open in the editor, that file is opened for editing. If
there is no selection, the Open dialog is displayed from which you can specify the file to open. This
operation can also be specified by using the right-click menu inside the Files list. See Opening
Files for Editing for more information.
• Save Selected File(s) button - If a file is selected, it is simply saved. If an untitled buffer is
selected, the Save As dialog is displayed from which you can save it with a specified name. If both
a file and an untitled buffer are selected, the file will be saved, and the Save As dialog is displayed
in order to save the untitled buffer. This operation can also be specified by using the right-click
menu inside the Files list. See Saving Modified Files for more information.
• Close Selected File(s) button - Closes the selected file(s) in the editor, which in turn, removes
the names from the Files window. If you are using the option One file per window (on by default),
all windows displaying the buffer are closed as well. You are prompted to save modified buffers.
This operation can also be specified by using the right-click menu inside the Files list. See Closing
Files for more information.
• Filter - This text box can be used to display matching file names. Right-click inside the Files list
area to allow Prefix match inside the Filter text box. When the focus is not in the Filter text box,
you can incrementally search the list of file names by typing the first few characters of the name.
See Working with the Files List for more details about filtering and searching the Files list.
• Files list - The Files list is divided into two columns:
o Name column - Displays a list of file names or untitled buffers based on the selected view
setting. Items are listed in alphabetical order. Click on the Name column header to sort by this
column. When you click to sort, an arrow on the right side of the column header shows the
ascending/descending order. The name of the file that has current focus in the editor is
displayed in a bold font style. Modified files are listed in a red font, and when selected, they
have a red highlight. A Disk bitmap to the left of the file name acts as another visual indicator
for modified files and allows for a quick save.
o Path column - Displays the corresponding paths to the files/buffers listed. Click on the Path
column header to sort by this column. When you click to sort, an arrow on the right side of the
column header shows the ascending/descending order.
Reflow Comment Dialog
The Reflow Comment dialog (Document > Reflow Comment), shown below, is used to reflow block
comments, paragraphs, or a selection of the current file.
