Folder attributes

Compared to nodes, folders has far less attributes. Consequently there is no such thing as an “Edit node” dialog box. This implies that the folder attributes have to be edited in other ways.

The most important attributes are the “Name” and “Code”. These are typically edited by using the title field of the folder. Since the title field only shows one attribute at the time, you have to use the “Icon title field” popup menu in the “graphical view” toolbar to change between the two. Alternatively, if the window containing the folder is in “Node table view” mode, you can edit the name and code by selecting these items in the table.

Other attributes include “Grid”, “Sort type” and “View type” which are controlled respectively by the “Turn grid on/off” command, the “Sort” submenu, and the four “View” commands in the “Special” menu.

Moreover, there are simulation settings such as “Goal node”, “Seed”, “Seed lock”, etc. These attributes are controlled by opening the folder in “Simulation view” mode.
