Adding files to a workspace

Tim · Post by **Tim** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 12:04 pm

Hi,

I've just started looking at Zeus, I've created a workspace and now have a large number of files to add to it.
Is there an easy way to do it ie just import all the files in the root folder and below, or do I have to do it by hand ?

Thanks Tim

Hi Tim,

There are several was to manage the workspace:

Use the Workspace, Workspace Builder menu to create the workspace
Open all files to be added, then right click the mouse on a node of the workspace tree and use the Add All Open Files to ... menu option to add the files to the node.
The workspace file is plain XML text so you can also hand edit the file

Cheers Jussi

Hi Jussi,

Thanks for the reply.

Open all files to be added, then right click the mouse on a node of the workspace tree and use the Add All Open Files to ... menu option to add the files to the node.

Is there an easy way to open all the files in a folder and all it's sub folders ?

failing that...

The workspace file is plain XML text so you can also hand edit the file

I understand the format of an XML file but where is documentation describing your tags as I cannot find it in the help file.

Thanks Tim.

Option #1 You could use the Windows, Start Button, Search option to find the files and then drag and drop them onto Zeus.

Option #2 You could use the Zeus Edit, Find in Files menu option.

Just select the search sub folder and the list first match options and search for the regular expression . dot character.

Then in the resulting output window select all the lines and use the View, Open File menu option tpo load the files into Zeus.

I understand the format of an XML file but where is documentation describing the tags

There is no such documentation, but the only tags you really need to worry about are the File and Folder items.

If you use the workspace builder to create a test workspace and then view it inside the editor, you will see the minimum number of tags that need to be defined.
