<h1>Edit Release File Selection</h1>

The file selection page of the ReleaseForge release wizard allows you easily add files for the current release.
Any files that you add will ultimately be uploaded to SourceForge and selected for inclusion for this release. Similarly, if you 
wish to delete a file from the current release, you can do so.  If you wish to update a file you must first delete it and then 
re-add it.

<p>

<h2>Adding Files</h2>

If you wish to add files to the current release, simply click on the <i>Add files</i> button to bring up the file selection 
browser.  

<p>
<center>
<img src="add_files.png"><br>
<font size="-1">The add files button</font>
</center>
<p>

After you indicate which files to include, you will notice that ReleaseForge attempted to guess the file type.  
If successful, the file type of each file will be updated.  If ReleaseForge is unable to guess the file type, it 
will default the choice to <i>Other</i>.  You can override this value as necessary using the dropdown.

<p>

Additionally, the processor type for your files will default to <i>Any</i>.  If this is incorrect you can use 
the appropriate dropdown to satsify your requirements.  Additionally, you can use the dropdown below the file 
selection table to update the processor for all files.

</center>
<p>

<h2>Removing Files</h2>

If you accidentally add a file which is not part of your release, simply highlight each file and press your 
<i>right mouse button</i> to bring up a menu.  All highlighted files will be removed from your release.
Additionally, if a file is currently part of the release that you wish to remove, follow this same procedure.  Once your release is 
finalized, ReleaseForge will delete any files that were part of the release that are no longer listed here. 

<p>

<h2>Updating Files</h2>

If you wish to update a file for your edited release you must first delete it (as described above) and then use the <i>Add 
Files</i> button (described earlier) to re-add it.  This is necessary because SourceForge does not know the fullpath of the given 
file in your filesystem (that is, if you are updating <i>/tmp/dist/myfile.zip</i>, SourceForge is only aware of the filename, 
<i>myfile.zip</i> so it is impossible for ReleaseForge to know where to find <i>myfile.zip</i> in your filesystem).

<p>

Internally, ReleaseForge keeps track of which files are new, which files are edited (processor, file type) and which files have 
been removed.  When finalizing the release, ReleaseForge will add the new files, update the existing files and delete the removed 
files from SourceForge, as necessary.

<p>

Once you are satisfied with the edited releases you can proceed to the next step.
Press the <i>next</i> button to continue.
