Are Logical Folders Static?
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2019 7:08 am
In my project, I clicked New > Logical Folder and created a folder called Logical. Then I right-clicked that logical folder, clicked Add Folder, and browsed to a folder called Enterprise. It appeared to add the Enterprise folder and all the subfolders and files nested within it. I know it doesn't actually duplicate anything, but it seems like it's adding a reference to the Enterprise folder.
So if someone else adds a file to the Enterprise folder on disk, will it show up in the Enterprise folder inside the Logical folder in my project? I just ran into a case where it seemed like that wasn't happening. I had always assumed that when I add a logical folder and then add a physical folder inside it, I'm getting a view that will always show the current contents of that physical folder. Instead, it seems that maybe it only includes the files that were present in the physical folder when it was first added to the logical folder. Is this correct?
Is there some way to add a logical folder to a project, such that it will automatically reflect any new files that get added later to a physical folder?
I hope this is clear. Thanks!
