Managing/re-ordering/hiding files in dev-hub mashup interface

Hello all,

When managing mashups that contain a lot of files through the dev-hub, the files are arranged according to the order in which they were created/imported.  This can be very frustrating and can lead to a lot of moving back and forward using the arrow keys to move from one file to the next (when these files could be at opposite ends of the tabbed list).  Other than deleting and re-importing a file, is there any way to move the position of the file in the tabbed list?  Also, is there a way of hiding files?  I am thinking particularly about image files, which I don't need to see or edit and can take up a lot of tabs.

Thanks in advance,

Richard

Hi,

You could try modifying the wbfolder.wbl file, which is basically just a list of files. It is used only by devhub, not need for running a mashup, so you can remove files from it and it wont affect the mashup(but hide the files from the editor). I haven't tried reordering files in the list, but it might do what you want, try it!

Hope this helps
