  • folders When visualizing structured data with folders and objects, folders usually have different folder properties. However, only appears as the folder icon the folder property that the folder contains objects and / or other folders. By selecting the folder icon, e.g. B. by double-clicking the folder icon, the folder is opened, ie the content of the folder is displayed. Other folder properties have not yet been directly visible or are displayed as a separate object together with other objects in the folder content if the folder is open.
