Solution Structure

The solution contains all projects inside a folder with the name of the project. It contains the solution settings in two files. The file with the extension otfSln organizes projects and saves solution settings. The file with the otfSuo extension stores user-specific settings, such as breakpoints, recently opened files etc. A project folder can be saved completely in a ZIP archive for exchange.

On the file system, a Procedure Project is a folder containing a project file and the following files and folders:

[Folder] or File Name	Content
[ProjectName]	Contains a project, e.g. of type Procedure Project
`NameOfSolution.otfSln`	Contains the project structure and all dependencies (mandatory)
`NameOfSolution.otfSuo`	Contains temporary project settings like break points etc. (optional)

Note: The otfSuo file can be deleted. Only user-specific settings are lost. In the unlikely event that a project folder can no longer be opened, deleting this file is usually sufficient.
