1. A computer-implemented method for automatically categorizing a file in a plurality of conditional personal computer file folders resident on a local personal computer in a software developer environment, said method comprising:
- determining whether a file has been altered; and
automatically associating the file with each of the plurality of conditional persona I computer file folders resident on the local personal computer when the file satisfies a condition associated with a corresponding one of each of the plurality of conditional personal file folders and when the determining whether a file has been altered determines that the file has been altered,wherein at least one of the plurality of conditional personal computer file folders is an error file folder,wherein the error file folder contains one or more source code files with error conditions,wherein at least one of the error conditions is an error or warning resulting from compilation or execution of the corresponding source code file,wherein first and second conditions are respectively associated with first and second ones of the conditional personal computer file folders,wherein the first condition is different than the second condition, andwherein the automatically associating comprises automatically associating the file with the first one of the conditional personal computer file folders using the first condition, and automatically associating the file with the second one of the conditional personal computer files folders using the second condition.

Abstract
Improved techniques for automatic (or dynamic) updating (or maintaining) of file groups in a developer environment that stores and executes files are disclosed. The automatic update to file groups can occur when additional files are added to or removed from the developer environment. The automatic update to file groups can also occur when previously stored files are otherwise altered.

15. A computer-implemented method for automatically categorizing a file in one or more conditional file folders in a software developer environment, said method comprising:
-
determining whether a file has been altered, the file having a first set of one or more conditional file folders associated therewith; and regenerating one or more of the one or more conditional file folders when the file satisfies a condition associated with a corresponding one of each of the plurality of conditional file folders and when the determining whether a file has been altered determines that the file has been altered such that the file has a second set of one or more conditional file folders associated therewith, wherein at least one of the plurality of conditional file folders is an error file folder, wherein the error file folder contains one or more source code files with error conditions, wherein at least one of the error conditions is an error or warning resulting from compilation or execution of the corresponding source code file, wherein first and second conditions are respectively associated with first and second ones of the conditional file folders, wherein the first condition is different than the second condition, and wherein the regenerating comprises automatically associating the file with the first one of the conditional file folders using the first condition, and automatically associating the file with the second one of the conditional file folders using the second condition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A computer-implemented method for automatically categorizing a file in a plurality of conditional personal computer file folders that includes at least an error file folder, said method comprising:
-
determining whether a file has been altered; automatically associating the file with the error file folder of the plurality of conditional personal computer file folders when the file satisfies an error condition of the error file folder, and when the determining whether a file has been altered determines that the file has been altered, wherein the error file folder contains source code files with error conditions, and wherein at least one of the error conditions is an error or warning resulting from compilation or execution of the corresponding source code file; and automatically associating the file with at least an additional one of the plurality of conditional personal computer file folders when the file satisfies a condition of the additional one of the plurality of conditional personal computer file folders, and when the determining whether a file has been altered determines that the file has been altered, wherein first and second conditions are respectively associated with first and second ones of the conditional personal computer file folders, wherein the first condition is different than the second condition, and wherein the automatically associating comprises (i) automatically associating the file with the first one of the conditional personal computer file folders using the first condition, and (ii) automatically associating the file with the second one of the conditional personal computer file folders using the second condition.
