Source pane

Your projects and source files are listed in the source pane. Each line of this list is displayed with the filename in the Filename column, followed by the file type in square brackets in the File Type column. If you are using MULTI Version Control (MVC), then files that are checked out have the appropriate user name in parentheses in the Version Control column. All projects (*.bld) have a small plus or minus to their left. Clicking the plus will expand the view so that the contents of the project are displayed (the plus will change into a minus). Clicking the minus will contract the view so that the contents of the project are hidden (the minus will change into a plus).

When the names of files in a project do not show an absolute path, the path is relative to the directory the build file resides in. Your project is more portable if you use only relative file names. You can specify additional source directories in which to find files by doing the following: select the project you wish to add source directories to, then choose Project > Options for Selected Files... > General tab, and edit the Source Directories list. After you add source directories, choose Project > Simplify Filenames, which will attempt to convert absolute filenames to relative filenames.

You can change the order of the files in the list by selecting a file in the list, and then while holding the Ctrl key press the up or down arrow keys to move the file up or down.
