Right clicking on a folder in the library tree opens the following functions:

Setting

Description

Remove

Removes the file from being included in startup of Quantlab. It does not delete the file from the windows directory.

Create New QL file

Create a library file in the windows directory and include it in the ini-file

Add existing QLfile

Add an existing ql-file from the chosen directory

Add QLL

Add existing QLL file from chosen directory

Create folder

Create a new folder in the library tree (in the ini-file not on disc)

Create New LibraryHive

A hive is a separate mini ini-file, that can contain one or several ql files or qll:s. The main library tree will point to include the hive file and not the individual code files.

Add ExistingLibrary Hive

Include an already created hive file.

Move up/down

Move library files, qlls, or hives up or down in the ini file tree. Code will be compiled from top -> down so dependent code must be loaded after the files on which it depends.

Quick find (Ctrl +F)

Will search in the library only. Note that Ctrl + P will search library file names only.

Encryption

When right clicking on an ql-file, an option to encrypt the file will be given. It will encrypt the file both in the library tree and also the physical ql-file on disc. To recover a file with a forgotten password, please contact the Quantlab Support team.
