Add Multiple Folders to the WorkArea

You can select and add multiple project folders to the WorkArea using the Add to WorkArea wizard. Each project folder that is added has the same initial context that was set during the Add to WorkArea wizard operation on the Set Context page. During the Add to WorkArea operation, when the wizard sets the contexts of the selected folders, an informational message is displayed in the wizard status area. The step may take a few moments to complete after you click Finish.

When you select multiple project folders in the wizard, the option to rename projects is disabled. Each folder is added to the WorkArea with its original name. If any of the selected folders contains a .project file, the first option in the wizard is disabled.

If any of the selected folders does not contain children, the right-click option for Add to WorkArea is disabled. All selected folders must have children for the action to be enabled. The Add to WorkArea option remains disabled when you select a single project without children.

If you select a parent with no .project file the new project wizard option is enabled, even though one or more child folders may contain a .project file.

Because the Add to WorkArea action does not change the .project file, the child subfolders are left unchanged. If one or more of the child subfolders are selected, and any of them contain a .project file, the new project wizard option is disabled.
