View file specific configuration options

Hi Folks,

In my C2000 project in CCS I see several files have the little key decoration on  the file icon that indicates file specific configuration options.

I know I can reset the options to default using the file's right-click menu, but is there a way I can view which options it is that are non-default? sort of like a diff for file options I guess...?

Thanks

    Hi Toby,

    Can you be more descriptive? Also, indicate what you mean by "little key decoration". Try attaching a screenshot.

    Are you talking about #, blue circle, blue circle with V, green circle and so on... ?

    Regards,

    Gautam

    Hi Gautam,

     Apologies for being unclear. The decoration is actually a little blue key at an angle on the top right corner of the file icon, as shown on the Main.c, DevInit and CodeStartBranch files in the image below - taken from the Project Explorer view. Previous answers on the forums inform that it indicates the file has specific build options. (see question and answer: http://e2e.ti.com/support/development_tools/code_composer_studio/f/81/t/192606.aspx)

    Thanks

    There a couple of ways to find out the file specific options. One way is through the GUI where file specific options for that file will be highlighted in bold (see this thread).

    The other way is by looking at the .cproject file. When file specific options are added, a section is added to this project file (look for it between <fileInfo> tags). This thread contains some related info on this.

    Brilliant AartiG! knew it was in a file somewhere but didnt know which one :)

    I did note the bolding thing myself but then there are a lot of options to check out! Plus one of the ones I had recently seemed to have bolded an option (--gcc) that had the same state as the project... :\

    Thanks all.
