Working with folders

Working with individual files in Switch is quite straightforward. When files are grouped into folders (and sometimes in nested folder structures), you need to take the following information into consideration.

Switch distinguishes between two important concepts related to (and implemented by) folders:


Since both concepts are implemented with regular file system folders, Switch needs a way to know what it is looking at when it sees a folder. This is accomplished as follows:


Thus the complexity of dealing with both concepts at the same time is limited to those special flow elements.
