All angels are stored in a folder (or subfolder of) $ANGELPATH. Angels have the extension '.ngl'. Folders do not have any extensions. The information for angel-folders is stored in a hidden file '.directory.ngl'. It is equivalent to the header of an angel (see header).
The '.index.txt' file is an index for the current directory used when an angel-directory is displayed. The index file is also used for search and for find a angel by reference.
Whenever an angel is added or its header information changed, the index file has to be updated.
Hidden files:
|
.directory.ngl |
This file stores values for directories like the exactly like header for an angelfile. The variable 'FILE' is has to be set to 'directory' |
|
.index.txt |
The index file. Angelscripts does not check a directory for angels but looks at the index-file. The index files are also used for search purposes. Index files are created with 'angel –create-index <FULLPATH>. |
