Project path

Enter the path and name of the directory to be imported, or use the browse button to select it from the file system.

Include files

A complete list of the files that will be imported (for example, *.4gl indicates all files with the extension 4gl). By default, files having the Genero and Genero Studio file extensions are listed; modify this list by adding or removing entries. The entries in the lists are separated by spaces.

Define the source directory as target directory

If checked, The Target directory property is set to the relative path from $(ProjectDir) to the source directory.

Exclude files

Enter the files that are to be excluded from the project. Use the * symbol to indicate all files; for example, *.abc would exclude all files having the extension abc. The entries are separated by spaces.

Exclude directories

A list of excluded directories. By default the CVS directory is excluded. The entries are separated by spaces.

Compute dependencies

If checked, Project Manager will try to compute the dependencies between Application/Libraries when importing the project.

Example

In this example, all files with a 4gl extension in the specified path will be included, except for testform.4gl . The directories CVS and mydir will also be excluded.
