Browse for Missing Include Files
Browse for Missing Include Files
If PRIMER fails to locate an include file during a MODEL > READ operation, it will generate a popup panel that will permit users to manually locate the missing files.
The following options are available on the popup panel:
| By default APPLY button is greyed out and it will be ungreyed only if a file is specified. The user can specify the file location in blue textbox or browse for the file using file selector icon. | |
| If the SKIP button is pressed, PRIMER will continue to read the model and will skip the missing include. | |
| SKIP - DO NOT ASK AGAIN | If the SKIP - DO NOT ASK AGAIN is pressed it will not popup this panel again if any missing include files are encountered later when reading. |
| STOP | If the STOP button is pressed, PRIMER will stop reading the model. |
To turn off this feature set "read_missing_include_file" preference to FALSE in "oa_pref".
Treatment of missing include files in the model.
Missing or skipped include files (that is, files referenced by *INCLUDE but not read) are "remembered" by default. They will appear in the include tree, but the options for operating on them are very limited. An *INCLUDE statement for the filename will be generated during keyword output, but no file will be written.
[Model] Read, Options has a option:
The default is to remember skipped include files, but this can be controlled via the preference
primer*missing_include_file_action: remember | forget
Turning off the option, or equivalently setting the preference to "forget", will mean a skipped include file will not appear in the include tree and on output no *INCLUDE statement will be written for it.
