Adding File Descriptions in Control Panel

justinmreina

How do you add descriptions to individual files in the Control Panel? For my case I'd like to add a description to 'readme.txt' of "Design Notes & Opens". See below for where I'm targeting -

    Hi Justin

     

    What you are asking for cannot be done but the following may work for you.

     

    You are going to make a readme folder which can be given a description.

     

    To give the folder a description you place a file in that folder  and

    give it the name 'description'

     

    i.e. Place in this readme folder a file called Description. Eagle will

    use the first line in the file this file's contents as the description

    of the readme folder as seen in the Control panel. Make that first line

    what you want. e.g. "Design Notes & Opens"

     

    The rest of the text in the Description file can be the rest of what you

    have in your readme file currently. If you stop here you don't actually

    have a readme file but you can read all of the readme information in the

    control panel on the right

     

    Have a look at the Arduino example that comes with Eagle.

     

    If you need a readme to pass onto others place it in the Readme folder

    but alas there will be no description beside it  but the folder its in

    will bear the description for your use.

     

    Use HELP with the keyword 'description' and select Control Panel >

    Descriptions. It tell you which files in the control panel tree can

    contain descriptions
