The "Project Tree" is one of the most important window in LuaEdit. It provides a summary of all the files currently in edition in LuaEdit and is an efficient way to manage your LuaEdit projects. From the "Project Tree" window you can perform the following actions:


Activate Selected Project
Since LuaEdit can handle more than one project file at once, you must specify to LuaEdit on which project the "project related" actions will be performed or from wich project some information will be used by LuaEdit. For example, just before running a script, LuaEdit will attempt to link to a dll. This feature is called the Initializer and can only be specified through a project's settings. In such case, LuaEdit will use the currently "Activated" project to know where to get such setting.

Unload Loaded Files
All files opened with LuaEdit are automatically displayed in the "Project Tree" window. You can unload them from LuaEdit's memory by right clicking on the file and click on the "Unload File/Project" contextual menu item.

Find the Target of a File
This action will hlep you find the actual source of the file on your hard drive by opening through windows explorer the folder where it is located.

Add a File to a Project
In order for projects to be useful, we need to be able to add files in them. This is why this action is available to you. Another window should be displayed asking you to open existing file(s) or add a new one.

Add a File to a Project
This action will remove the selected file from the project it is associated with.
