SYNTAX

OrphanFiles file1 [file2]…

DESCRIPTION

The OrphanFiles script removes the 'ckid' resources from one or more files. Projector normally uses this resource to identify the project to which each file belongs. Thus, executing this command on a file effectively orphans it from its project so that it can be used for other purposes. OrphanFiles does not change the modification date of the file.

Caution
Once you have removed the Projector information from a file, you cannot check the file back into its former project because it no longer belongs to that project. Note, however, that you can use TransferCkid to remedy this by transferring a 'ckid' resource with the correct project information to this file. •
