SlickEdit User Guide

BUILDING AND MANAGING TAG FILES
The following settings are available:
• Retag modified files only - If checked, SlickEdit® will incrementally rebuild the tag file, only
retagging files that have been modified since the last time they were tagged. If not checked,
SlickEdit will rebuild the entire tag file from scratch.
• Generate References - If checked, the tag file will be built with support for cross-referencing. Tag
files with support for references are slightly larger and take slightly more time to build. They will
also be included in all symbol references searches, which may not be necessary, especially for
third-party libraries.
• Remove all deleted files without prompting - If checked and the tag file contains a source file
which no longer exists on disk, the source file will be removed from the tag file without prompting
for confirmation.
• Keep all deleted files without prompting - If checked and the tag file contains a source file
which no longer exists on disk, the source file will not be removed from the tag file without
prompting for confirmation.
NOTE The options Remove all deleted files without prompting and Keep all deleted files
without prompting are mutually exclusive—selecting one will clear the other.
Context Tagging® Options
General Context Tagging® Options
Options are available for setting general parameters for the Context Tagging feature set. You can
designate how tagging is done, how references function within the application, and tune the application to
maximize performance. To display the options, from the main menu, click Tools > Options, expand
Editing, and select Context Tagging® Options. See Context Tagging® Options for descriptions of the
options.
TIP To improve tagging performance, you may need to adjust the tag file cache size (Tools >
Options > Application Options > Virtual Memory). See Virtual Memory Options for more
information.
