Folders

 
For some Categories, when a lot of items has been created, the Diagram panel can become messy. This happens when a lot of Logic (but not only) have been defined.
The user can create as many Folders as needed and there is no limit on the depth of the hierarchy (folders can hold folders).
 
 
Create one folder
 
When this feature is available, use the icon or the right-click popup Add Folder menu:
 
Then give it a name:
Then you'll have one:
You can now select the icon to move it around, right click to remove or rename it (make sure you do not have two folders of the same name in the same level).
 
 
Opening a folder
 
Just double-click the icon. You know you are inside a folder because its name (the full path in case of nested folders) is mentioned in the top left of the panel:
 
 
Closing a folder
 
To move out or close a folder (and go up one level), just double-click the background of the panel.
 
 
Moving items in
 
In order to put an item (or another folder) inside one, do like in Windows: select the item you want to move and drag it over the destination folder. When the folder image grows and opens, release the mouse button. Here is an example with a logic folder:
Now, you can double-click the folder to open it:
When inside a folder, you will notice the mention in the upper left part of the panel, in magenta. The number at the right of the folder name is the number of items the folder contains.
 
 
Moving items out
 
Moving out a selected item is done using the right-click Unfold... menu:
 
Deleting folder
 
A folder cannot be deleted with item inside. It must be emptied before deletion.
Use the Del key (when icon selected) or use the right-click popup Delete! menu option.
