The project properties editor gives you access at any time to the properties
of your project. It is accessible through the menu
Project->Edit Project Properties
, and through the contextual menu
Edit project properties
on any project item, e.g. from the Project
View or the Project Browser.
If there was an error loading the project (invalid syntax, non-existing directories, …), a warning dialog is displayed when you select the menu. This reminds you that the project might be only partially loaded, and editing it might result in the loss of data. In such cases, it is recommended that you edit the project file manually, which you can do directly from the pop-up dialog.
Fix the project file as you would for any text file, and then reload
it manually (through the Project->Open...
or
Project->Recent
menus.
The project properties editor is divided in three parts:
The contents of this editor are very similar to that of the project
wizard (see The Project Wizard). In fact, all pages but the
General
page are exactly the same, and you should therefore
read the description for these in the project wizard chapter.

attributes.
This area, in the top-right corner of the properties editor, contains a list of all the projects in the hierarchy. The value in the attributes editor is applied to all the selected projects in this selector. You cannot unselect the project for which you activated the contextual menu.
Clicking on the right title bar (Project
) of this selector will sort the
projects in ascending or descending order.
Clicking on the left title bar (untitled) will select or unselect all the projects.
This selector has two different possible presentations, chosen by the toggle button on top: you can either get a sorted list of all the projects, each one appearing only once. Or you can have the same project hierarchy as displayed in the project view.
This area, in the bottom-right corner of the properties editor, lists all the scenario variables declared for the project hierarchy. By selecting some or all of their values, you can chose to which scenario the modifications in the attributes editor apply.
Clicking on the left title bar (untitled, on the left of the Scenario
label) will select or unselect all values of all variables.
To select all values of a given variable, click on the corresponding check button.
