Once a project has been published to a Structure101 repository, it can be opened via the File/Open dialog and choosing the "repository projects" tab.
The table lists all projects in the selected repository. Choose the project and the snapshot that you wish to view and select OK.
To most intents and purposes, there is little difference between viewing repository as opposed to local projects. However, there are a couple of features that are not available for repository projects:
- Snapshot properties (such as path to classes / data file) cannot be modified (Project/Properties)
- Publishing is not available (Project/Publish)
- Source viewing is not available (Tools/View Source)
If you make any changes to a repository project, it will be marked "dirty". This means that you will be prompted to save your changes when you e.g. close the project or exit the application.
Tips
- For large projects, use the "Open in Normal Mode" option to view a repository project in normal as opposed to detail mode (only available if the project was published in detail mode).
