i Project icons and decorations

Label decorations are used to show extra information about an item by modifying its label or icon. They can be used to obtain information about the state of an item without having to look at its properties in the Properties view or open its Properties dialog box.

To enable or disable i Project icons and decorations, go to Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Label Decorations, select or clear the check box for i Projects Local/Remote Decorator, and click OK or Apply. You select the Show Local/Remote Decorator option on the i Project Navigator pull-down menu.

Following are descriptions of the i Projects label decorations:

Indicates that a project is an i Project.
Indicates the resource is a local object. If Show Remote Objects is enabled, the label decoration will change if there is a remote counterpart for the object on the host system.
Indicates the resource is a remote object.
Indicates the resource is both a local and remote object.
Indicates that the object is missing a timestamp property, and appears only if the object is both local and remote. This is not applicable for objects that are remote only.
Indicates a conflict. The object has been modified on the remote server.
Indicates an error on the resource. Select the project and view the error information displayed in the taskbar. For example, an i Project may need certain properties specified, or there may be invalid names for the source files or members.
