Files Created for Each Project

When you create a Source Insight project, a project sub-folder is created inside the "Documents\Source Insight 4.0\Projects" folder. The project folder is named the same as the project name.

For example, if you create a project name "Abc", then a project folder is created:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Source Insight 4.0\Projects\Abc

Within that folder a file name Abc.siproj is created which is the main project file. Additional data files are stored in that folder.

The following files and folders are created in the project directory. In this list, "Name" is the name of a given project.
