Using Editors with Projects
When the editor is started from SoftBench, it understands your project
information. SoftBench XEmacs and SoftBench vi Editor can save a file
into the current project. The editor displays the current project on the
title bar. You can also save a file outside of the current project.
• Save–Save the file as it currently appears in the window. If the file is
"Untitled", you are prompted for a file name. If the editor is project
aware (editor was opened from the SoftBench main window or from a
SoftBench tool), the editor saves the file into the current project.
• Save As…–Save the file as it currently appears in the window using a
name you provide. If the editor is project aware, the editor saves the
newly named file into the current project.
• Save Out Of Project–Save the file as it currently appears in the
window. If the file is named "Untitled", you are prompted for a file
name. SoftBench does not automatically add the file to the project.
• Save Out Of Project As…–Save the file as it currently appears in
the window under the name you provide. SoftBench does not
automatically add the file to the project.
Note that if your editor is project aware, any file you "Save" or "Save
As" will be added to your project file set, even if you just happen to make
a change to your personal files. Use "Save Out Of Project" for files you
do not want added to the project named in the editor's titlebar.
If you rename a file to a name that indicates a different file type,
SoftBench Program Editor and SoftBench XEmacs switch mode to the
new file type.
