Adding
Folders
Project Builder can add folders in two ways:
- Group: Project Builder recursively creates groups
for the folder and its subfolders, and places the folder's files
in them. If you choose to copy the files into the project's folder,
the folder hierarchy is duplicated. If you drag a file to the folder outside
of Project Builder, Project Builder does not add the file to the
project.
- Item: Project Builder adds the folder itself to the project
and not its contents. You cannot view or edit the folder's contents
within Project Builder. This is useful if you need to manipulate
the folder as a whole but not the items within it. One example is
a folder of help files that you edit outside of Project Builder and that
you want Project Builder to move into the appliation's Resources
folder when you build the application.
To add a folder as a group:
- Choose Project > Add Files, select the folder,
and select "Recursively create groups for added folders."
To add a folder as an item:
- Choose Project > Add Files, select the folder,
and deselect "Recursively create groups for added folders."
