Working with Folders
Folder OptionsTo access options for the selected folder, do one of the following:
The following sections describe each of the options available for folders.
Import from File SystemThis option imports the files and directories from a local or network filesystem into a folder. Depending on the configuration of the options below, file and directory references are created in the same hierarchical structure as the filesystem. (Alternatively, all the file references in a recursive directory structure can be located at the same level within a folder.) Use the following options on the Import from File System dialog box to configure the import:
After importing from the file system, you are prompted to confirm the addition of the files that match the specified criteria. You may remove one or more files from the import. Click OK to proceed with the import. After using the Import from File System feature, if you attempt to re-import the same file system location into the same project, only files that are new since the last import are imported.
Export Contents to PackageFolders can be archived and distributed among multiple Komodo users via Packages. Packages are
compressed archive files that contain the folder from which the Export
Package option was invoked, as well as the folder's contents. Packages
are stored in files with a ".kpz" extension, and can be opened by any archiving
utility that supports To export the contents of a folder to a package:
Import Contents from PackageExported packages can only be imported into "container" objects in Komodo, such as projects, the Toolbox, and folders within projects and the Toolbox. To import the contents of a package to a folder:
Refresh Folder Contents StatusThe Refresh Status option checks read/write disk status for filesystem-based components (such as files and dialogs) contained within the folder. If a file is of a language for which "code intelligence" is supported and enabled (as configured in the Code Intelligence Preferences), Refresh Status will also update the code intelligence database with the contents of the file. If the component is stored in a source code control system, Refresh Status also checks the repository status of the component. Komodo determines whether a file is contained in an SCC repository by the following methods:
Adding Components to FoldersUse this option to add components to the selected folder. All components can be added to folders, in the same manner they are added to projects. Refer to the individual component documentation, or the topics Adding Components to Projects or Adding Components to the Toolbox for more information. Use the cut/copy/paste options to remove folders from a project or the Toolbox, or to move folders between the project and the Toolbox, between projects, or between folders.
Exporting Contents as Project FileWhen this option is invoked, a new project file is created that contains the folder (and its contents) from which the option is invoked. You are prompted to provide the name of the new project file and the directory where it will be stored. To open the new project file, select File|Open|Project.
Renaming FoldersTo change the name of a folder, select this option and enter a new name.
Source Control on Folder ContentsSource Control on Contents refreshes the source code control status of all the files contained within the folder. A subset of Komodo's Source Code Control functions can be performed. See Source Code Control for a description of specific options.
Deleting FoldersTo remove a folder from a project or the Toolbox, select this option. Komodo folders are virtual; deleting a folder has no effect on the disk structure or contents.
