The directory styles are defined in XXX_CONFIG.XML files, where XXX can be Fred4, Ted4, Shell4, Edadmin4 or Admin4. It depends on the application where the definition of such directory style appears (e.g. Fred4_Config.xml, Ted4_Config.xml etc. For more details, see How many different directory style sections exist in the standard configuration? )

The directory styles are all enclosed in the <DirectoryStyleList> section in the related *_CONFIG.XML file. The <DirectoryStyleList> section contains one or more <DirectoryStyle Name=" sections. Each <DirectoryStyle section defines one directory style.

For example, the following screenshot shows the part of the directory styles sections in the FRED4_CONFIG.XML file, with definitions of the directory styles for pages, library objects and masters , all of them collapsed so you can quickly locate many directory styles visually on an uncluttered view.

Directory styles are always children of the parent BaseQuery.

If you need the same directory style in more base queries, you need to duplicate the code.

Therefore, you will find the existing directory styles in the previously mentioned configuration files, and it is there that you can modify them, or add new directory styles.

Of course, after you did your changes, you have to reimport the configuration file in database, as explained in TASK: Save changes and import them in database.
