\note Usually, \l{Searching with the Locator}{searching with the locator}
|
|
is the fastest way to find a particular project, file, class, or function,
|
|
or almost anything else in your project. Use the \e {file system (f)} filter
|
|
to open files from anywhere in the file system.

To move to the root directory of the file system, select \uicontrol Computer
|
|
in the menu (1). Select \uicontrol Home to move to the user's home
|
|
directory. Further, you can select a project to move to an open project
|
|
or \uicontrol Projects to move to the directory specified in the
|
|
\uicontrol {Projects directory} field in \preferences >
|
|
\uicontrol {Build & Run} > \uicontrol General.
|
|
|
|
The file that is currently active in the editor determines which folder
|
|
to display in the \uicontrol {File System} view:
|
|
|
|
\list
|
|
\li \uicontrol Projects if the file is located in a subdirectory of the
|
|
\uicontrol {Projects directory}
|
|
\li \uicontrol Home if the file is located in the user's home directory
|
|
\li \uicontrol Computer in all other cases
|
|
\endlist
|
|
|
|
To stop the synchronization between the editor and the
|
|
\uicontrol {File System} view, deselect the \inlineimage icons/linkicon.png
|
|
(\uicontrol {Synchronize Root Directory with Editor}) button.
|
|
|
|
The view displays the path to the active file as bread crumbs. You can move
|
|
to any directory along the path by clicking it.
|
|
|
|

|
|
\li Show the file or directory in the file explorer.
|
|
\li Open a terminal window in the selected directory or in the directory
|
|
that has the file. To specify the terminal to use on Linux and
|

|
|
\uicontrol System.
|
|
\if defined(qtcreator)

|
|
\l{Adding Files to Projects}.
|

|
|
the relative or absolute path to its new location in addition to the
|
|
new filename.
|
|
\li Remove existing files.
|
|
\li Create new folders.
|
