true
false
Discussion
The attribute Split determines how project file(s) associated to a particular unit member are stored. The attribute can assume the values true or false:
Value |
Description |
---|---|
false |
The entire content of the unit is stored in a single file named correspondingly after the unit and signed with the extension .ewu. When you modify a member of the unit in Embedded Wizard, the complete file is re-written. |
true |
The content of the unit is split in several independent .ewui files (one for each project member existing within the unit) and stored in a directory named correspondingly after the unit and signed with the extension .ewu. When you modify one member of the unit, only the member's own file is re-written. |
The possibility to store the members of a single unit split in several independent files facilitates multiple developers to simultaneously work on one and the same unit.
