Creating a Group of Files

A group object is a cluster of aliases used for related files. Groups can be used to simplify working on files located in separate parts of your source hierarchy. A group object is represented in the Explorer with the icon.

In the Explorer, a group's node contains links to the files you have associated with that group. You can access any files associated with a group either from the file's node or its link within the group's node. If you delete the group, the files it is associated with are not deleted.

To create a group of files:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the file or files you want to be in the group and choose Tools Create Group from the contextual menu.
  2. Select a directory and type a name for the group and click OK.

    In the Explorer, the group is displayed, and its node contains links to the files you have associated with the group.

You can create an empty group by choosing File New from the main window, expanding the Other category, and selecting Group of Files. You can link files to a group by copying the files and pasting them to the group's node.
