Files
When you rename, delete, or remove files or folders in a project, the project runs a
dependency analysis to check for effects on other project files. When the analysis is
complete, the project displays the affected files. If you have not yet run a dependency
analysis on the project, the analysis may take some time to run. Subsequent analyses are
incremental updates, and so they run faster.
When renaming files, the project offers to automatically update references to the file.
Automatically updating references to a file when renaming prevents errors that result
from changing names or paths manually and overlooking or mistyping the name.
For example:
- When renaming a class, the project offers to automatically update all classes that
inherit from it.
