2: Using the Propeller Tool
Pane 1: Object View Pane
Pane one is the Object View pane. The Propeller chip’s language, Spin, is object-based and a
Propeller Project can be made up of multiple objects.
The Object View displays the
hierarchical view of the project you most recently compiled successfully, providing valuable
feedback on the relational structure of your project. Using the Object View, you can
determine what objects are used, how they fit together with other objects, their physical
location on disk (work folder, library folder or editor only), redundancy optimization results
(if any) and any potential object collision issues. See “Object View” on page 52 for more
information.
Pane 2: Recent Folders field and Folder List
Pane two contains two components: 1) the Recent Folders field, and 2) the Folder List. These
two components work together to provide navigational access to the disk drives available to
your computer. The Folder List displays a hierarchical view of folders within each disk drive
®
and can be manipulated in a similar fashion as the left pane of Windows
Explorer.
The Recent Folders field (above the Folder List) provides a drop-down list of special folders
as well as the most recent folders you’ve loaded files from. Selecting a folder from the
Recent Folders field causes the Folder List to immediately navigate to that folder. In
addition, if you select a folder in the Folder List which exists in the Recent Folders list, the
Recent Folder field will automatically update itself to display that item.
The first items in the Recent Folders list are “Propeller Library” and “Propeller Library –
Demos.” These are automatically included to point to the folders where the Propeller library
files exist and where the demos for the library files exist. Those files are included by the
Propeller Tool installer.
If you select a folder that is not in the Recent Folders list, the Recent Folder field will be
blank. The button to the left of the Recent Folders field toggles the function of both the
Recent Folders and Folder List between: 1) showing every drive and folder, and 2) showing
only drives and folders recently used. Setting the mode to show recent folders only is a
convenient way to quickly navigate to commonly used Propeller Project folders among a
large set of unrelated folders on a particular drive or network.
Pane 3: File List and Filter Field
Pane three contains two components: 1) the File List, and 2) the Filter field. The File List
displays all the files contained in the folder selected from the Folder List which match the
filter criteria of the Filter field. The File List can be used in a similar fashion as the right
pane of Windows Explorer.
