# How to Edit an OSD File
|
||
|
||
|
||
Use the following procedures to modify a sequenced application package's Open Software Descriptor (OSD) file by adding or deleting an element or an attribute.
|
||
|
||
**Note**
|
||
Some elements do not have an attribute, so it is not possible to add an attribute to every element.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Important**
|
||
If you use the OSD editor to change the .sft file name, the HREF attribute of the CODEBASE element in the OSD file, you must use the **Save As** command to save the change to the project files.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**To add an element**
|
||
|
||
1. Click the **OSD File** tab.
|
||
|
||
2. In the navigation pane, select the sequenced application package's OSD file you want to modify.
|
||
|
||
3. In the navigation pane, right-click the element that you want to modify. On the menu, select **Element** and select **Add**.
|
||
|
||
4. From the menu, select the element you want to add—for example, **Codebase**.
|
||
|
||
5. From the **File** menu, select **Save**.
|
||
|
||
**To delete an element**
|
||
|
||
1. Click the **OSD File** tab.
|
||
|
||
2. In the navigation pane, select the sequenced application package's OSD file you want to modify.
|
||
|
||
3. In the navigation pane, right-click the element that you want to delete. On the menu, select **Element** and select **Delete**.
|
||
|
||
4. From the **File** menu, select **Save**.
|
||
|
||
**To add an attribute**
|
||
|
||
1. Click the **OSD File** tab.
|
||
|
||
2. In the navigation pane, select the sequenced application package's OSD file you want to modify.
|
||
|
||
3. In the left pane, right-click the element to which you want to add an attribute. On the menu, select **Attribute** and select **Add**, choosing from the listed available attributes.
|
||
|
||
4. From the **File** menu, select **Save**.
|
||
|
||
**To delete an attribute**
|
||
|
||
1. Click the **OSD File** tab.
|
||
|
||
2. In the navigation pane, select the sequenced application package's OSD file you want to modify.
|
||
|
||
