Icons in project explorer

Bob D.
Expert 2430 points

Hi,

 I could not find a description of the icons shown in project explorer. I have 2 questions about these. One is that I see a small wrench in the top right of one file's icon. The other is I see arrows for one project files while other projects do not have these. Is there a description somewhere of all these sub-icons?

    Hi Bob,

    Bob D. said:

    It means this file has file specific options (options specific to that file that override the project level options).

    The icon is actually a link of a chain indicating that it is a linked file.

    I not sure if a comprehensive list exists. Some icons are explained in the Eclipse documentation and others with various CCS material. It would be nice if one such list existed.

    thanks

    Hi Ki, Thank you for your reply.

    Regarding the arrow, what does a "linked file" mean and how do I make it unlinked?

    A linked file is a file that is referenced by the project but not physically inside the project folder (or sub folder). See slide 38 of the below slide set for more details on adding and linking files:

    You can unlink by simply "deleting" the file from the project explorer view. It will delete just the link (not the actual file).

    Thanks
