| This preference page is used when working with |
| <a href="../concepts/concepts-13.htm">linked resources</a>. The preference |
| <b>Enable linked resources</b> is used to globally enable or disable the linked resource |
| feature for the entire workspace. By default, linked resources are enabled. If you |
| disable linked resources, then you will not be able to create any new linked resources, |
| or import existing projects that contain linked resources. |
| </P> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| Not all versions of the workbench support linked resources and recognize them as such. |
| You may not want to use linked resources if you plan to share your workspace data with |
| other users. Disable this preference if they will not be able to work with linked resources. |
| |
| </P> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> The remainder of this page is for defining <a href="../concepts/cpathvars.htm">path |
| variables</a> that are used when creating linked resources. Use the <b>New</b> |
| button to define new variables, the <b>Edit</b> button to change the value of |
| an existing variable, and the <b>Remove</b> button to get rid of an existing |
| variable. Note if you change a path variable that is currently in use, you will |
| need to perform a local refresh on those projects to "discover" what |
| is different in the file system. You can refresh a resource by opening the one |
| of the navigation views' context menu for that resource and selecting <b>Refresh</b>. |
| It is not recommended that you remove a path variable that is currently in use. |
