Entries

and

icons

Each

entry

in

the

repository

has

an

icon

associated

with

it.

Module

icons

serve

the

following

purposes:

v

They

provide

a

visual

indicator

for

the

type

of

module

(operating-system

module,

application

module,

device-driver

module,

filter

module,

or

utility

module).

v

They

distinguish

a

container

module

from

a

standard

module.

v

They

indicate

whether

the

module

is

in

the

test

state

or

gold

state.

If

the

icon

is

gold,

the

module

is

in

the

gold

state.

When

a

module

is

in

the

gold

state,

the

module

is

locked

and

you

cannot

make

changes

to

it.

If

the

icon

is

any

other

color

but

gold,

the

module

is

in

the

test

state.

When

a

module

is

in

the

test

state,

you

can

make

changes

to

the

module

attributes

and

source

files

as

often

as

is

needed.

Map

icons

serve

the

following

purposes:

v

They

provide

a

visual

indicator

for

the

type

of

map

(base

map

or

driver

map).

v

They

indicate

whether

the

map

is

in

the

test

state

or

gold

state.

If

the

icon

is

gold,

the

module

is

in

the

gold

state.

Because

creating

a

module

entry

in

the

repository

and

building

the

module

are

two

separate

operations,

the

ImageUltra

Builder

interface

provides

a

means

by

which

you

can

tell

whether

or

not

a

module

has

been

built.

When

you

look

in

the

Repository

window,

if

the

text

for

module

entry

is

shown

in

grey,

the

module

has

not

been

built;

if

the

text

for

module

entry

is

shown

in

black,

the

module

has

been

built.

These

icon

and

module

entry

conventions

also

apply

to

all

other

windows

used

in

the

ImageUltra

Builder

interface.

Manipulating

entries

Moving

and

copying

map

and

module

entries

in

the

Repository

window

is

very

similar

to

using

Windows

Explorer;

you

use

the

left

mouse

button

to

drag

and

drop

the

selected

entry

into

the

desired

folder.

Then,

when

you

release

the

mouse

button,

you

specify

if

the

operation

is

a

move

operation

or

a

copy

operation.

If

you

copy

a

map

or

module

entry

into

a

different

folder,

that

entry

is

a

reference

to

the

same

map

or

module

as

the

original

entry.

If

you

copy

an

entry

into

the

same

folder

as

the

original,

you

create

a

new

map

or

module

that

has

“Copy

of”

added

to

the

beginning

of

the

entry.

Any

modification

to

this

new

map

or

module

does

not

affect

the

original,

and

any

modification

to

the

original

map

or

module

does

not

affect

the

new

map

or

module.

You

can

also

copy

multiple

maps

and

modules

in

a

single

operation

using

the

same

techniques

as

used

in

Windows

Explorer.

Deleting

a

map

or

module

entry

is

also

similar

to

using

Windows

Explorer;

you

right-click

on

the

appropriate

map

or

module

entry,

select

Delete,

and

then

confirm

the

delete

operation.

However,

because

you

might

have

multiple

instances

of

an

entry

in

different

folders,

the

actual

map

or

module

is

not

deleted

from

the

repository

until

the

last

instance

of

an

entry

is

deleted.

Then,

when

the

last

instance

of

the

entry

is

deleted,

a

prompt

appears

asking

if

you

want

to

delete

the

map

or

module

from

the

repository.

You

can

also

use

keystrokes

instead

of

a

mouse

to

achieve

the

same

results.

For

example,

to

copy

an

entry

into

another

folder

you

do

the

following:
