Working with filesystems

Add

Using this menu item several kinds of file or a folder can be added. Each will invoke a specialized wizard to guide you through the creation process. You can add different types of file into a filesystem.

The actual set of file types that each installation supports will vary with the tool options and configuration chosen. For a review of common file types, please see the section called “Common Ambience File Types”.

Important: To be able to add files, you have to use the Repository in the Repertoire tool.

Export...

Instead of manually transferring data every time after resetting the Repository to the default, you can use the export and import tools.

The export action will copy only the latest version of all files referenced. Filesystems can be exported from the Repository and saved as a TGZ or ZIP file. To export a filesystem in the Repository to the designated location, right-click the filesystem and select Export.... Switch to the target location, type the TGZ or ZIP file name and click Save.
