Introducing Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge customization : Reference : Customization Editor : OpenEdge Custom Project options : Folder Layout options
 
Folder Layout options
Selecting the Folder Layout node under a custom project type displays a Folder Layout section and a PROPATH section on the right pane of the Customization Editor.
Controls available for the Folder Layout section
The Folder Layout section displays the folders and files that you add in a tree format. The default parent node for all the folders and files is <Project Root>. The folders that can be added to PROPATH are displayed with a different icon.
Note: The modifications to the folder layout are saved by default as these operations (adding and removing) are done on file system directly.
The following controls are available for this section:
Control
Description
Add
Allows you create a file or folder using the Add File/Folder dialog. It is enabled when you select a single folder or an item under the <Project Root> node.
Edit
Displays the Edit File/Folder dialog which allows you to edit the file or folder options that you select in the Add File/Folder dialog.
Remove
Deletes the currently selected entry.
Add to PROPATH
Adds the currently selected file or folder to PROPATH. The files or folders that you add here appear in the PROPATH section (on the right pane of the Customization Editor).
Note: The Add to PROPATH option is enabled only for the folder(s) that do not have a PROPATH entry and .pl file(s). To remove PROPATH entries, click Edit.

Controls available for Add File/Folder and Edit File/Folder

The Add File/Folder dialog allows you to add files or folders to a custom project type. You can edit the file or folder options that you select on this dialog using the Edit File/Folder dialog (contains the same options).
The following controls are available on these dialogs:
Control
Description
Folder
Enables options for adding a folder to the custom project type.
File

Folder name
(Is enabled only when you select Folder) Specifies the name of the folder.
Copy content from existing folder
(Is enabled only when you select Folder) Allows you to load folder(s)/file(s) from the file system.
Note: The content under the specified folder is copied to the folder layout. The changes in the actual directory are not reflected automatically.
Include sub-folders
(Is enabled only when you select Copy content from existing folder) Loads content from all levels of the files/folders under the selected folder.
Path
(Common for Folder and File) Specifies the location of the folder or file in the file system.
Add to PROPATH

Controls available for the PROPATH section

The PROPATH section displays the PROPATH entries that you add by using the Add to PROPATH option in the Folder Layout section. The default entry displayed in this section is @{ROOT} and it represents the project root folder. When you add a folder or file to PROPATH, that entry is added below @{ROOT}.
Move Up, Move Down
Changes the position of the current entry in the list and thus specifies the order of the PROPATH entries.
Remove
Deletes the currently selected entry and updates the corresponding folder or file image.
