Management of files and moving between features

Postby PallBjornsson » Thu Dec 02, 2021 8:36 am

Hi,

With, say, 10 features or components in a project and, say 20, target folders.

Both questions relate to Design/Setup Architecture/Files section.

Question 1:
If I browse the files in a folder feature independend (no check on 'Filter Files By feature'), how can I tell which feature a specific file belongs to ?
The only option I have found is to switch on "Filter Files by Feature" and then check every feature in the dropdown, which seems like a long way for a simple task.

Question 2:
How can I change a file so that it belongs to a different feature ?
The only option I have found is to delete the file and then add it back to the correct feature.

Which IA Edition are you using?
If you are on Developer or higher edition, it's much faster to manage files with features via MSI Script code:

Thanks,

I'm on Studio, and you are absolutely right.
Just thought I was missing something from the UI.
