Backing folders

The backing folder (on disk) for a folder can be auto-managed (the default) or user-managed.

Auto-managed backing folders are placed in a special area managed by Switch (refer to application data preferences for more details). External processes (not under control of Switch) and users should not refer to auto-managed folders since they can change name and/or location under the control of Switch.

To create an auto-managed folder, drag the folder icon from the Elements pane onto the canvas.
To create a user-managed folder, drag a folder from the Folders pane onto the canvas.
To convert a folder from auto-managed to user-managed, do one of the following:
1. Choose a folder path for the folder's Path property
2. Drag a folder from the Folders pane onto the folder in the canvas.
3. Drag a folder from any location onto the folder in the canvas.
