editable-files

Arguments: project

Returns the list of editable files of a project. An editable file is a file that is neither compiled and loaded (like a source code module or form module) nor distributed with the project's standalone application (like a distributed file or directory), but which may nevertheless be searched and edited as part of the project. A to-do or readme text file might be handy as an editable file, for example.

Specifically, an editable file is listed on the Modules tab of the Project Manager so that you can invoke the IDE Editor on it from there, and the Find In Files dialog will search the file whenever it is searching the current project.

The setf of this function could be used to establish the list of editable files, but typically you would add the files using the Add File button at the left end of the Project Manager's toolbar.

A source code file whose file type is txt will actually be treated as an editable file (mostly for backward compatibility).
