Identif iers vs. Disk Filenames

Workspace and System files (displayed in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar) are represented by the Identifier entered in the Workspace Properties, Project Properties, System Properties, and File Properties dialogs (FIG. 65).

The disk file name is the full file name (plus it's extension) as it appears in Windows Explorer. For example, if you create a Source Code File into a Project and enter "My File" in the Identifier field, the file will appear in the Workspace Bar as "My File", but the disk file name is "My File.axs". You can change a file's Identifier without affecting the disk filename.

• • Identifiers must be unique to each System, regardless of the file type. If you assign an identifier to a file that already exists in the System, the program will prompt you to enter a different identifier.
  • You can change the assigned identifier of any System file (via the File Properties dialog), but remember that identifiers only apply to the specific file that they are applied to, and not to any others. For example if you change a file's identifier, the

file's associated file still reflects the disk file name.
