Project's structure on hard disk

1- The project explorer in TC displays the various elements in a tree. This is neat. However, this tree is only logical. The same files are not stored in that exact structure on the hard disk. Currently, I have to manually create the desired folder structure, move the required script/keyword files in them, and then use "Add Existing Item" feature to add those files in my projectsuite. I want to know, is there an option in TC which saves the folders and files in the structure made in the project suite?



Take a look in the attached GIF. The folder structure like "Function_Library", "Root", etc.



2- Another problem is the size of NameMapping file. Currently, I have mapped only 3 objects and yet the size is 23MB. Can this be reduced?

    Hi Pankaj,

    There is no way to make TestComplete synchronize the logical structure with your hard drive. TestComplete project suite folders are not supposed to be explored and changed manually, actually.

    Yes. Try removing the entire <Node name="typeinfo"> node from your Name Mapping file and disabling the "Store Code Completion information" option described in the Name Mapping Options Dialog help topic.
