This sub-section describes the "Files" tab of the Edit Project screen.



The "Files" tab allows the user to edit/modify the files and directories of the project. They are initially created by hand or imported from the Compilation Database Format file. They can be edited by hand or automatically, in particular:


  • The button "Remove Children" makes sure there are no directories in the list which are children of other directories (this is required by SonarQube).
  •  Double-clicking on a file opens the Project File screen that allows the editing of its specific compilation options.
  •  The button "Update View" takes the compilation options of a given file and propagates them across the overall project.
  •  The button "Get Sources" builds automatically the list of directories and files by performing a recursive search in the Project base directory.


The button "Update Settings" save the edits/modifications into the working memory; the button "Discard Changes" discard the edits/modifications.
