Using the QNX Software Center, you can inspect the properties of any package or file available for, or deployed in, an installation.
To inspect the properties of a package displayed in any tab of the main screen:
Select: | To view: |
---|---|
General Information |
Name, version, provider, status (Package status), publication date, runtime subsystem, links to license and product information, and other general properties of the package. |
Intellectual Property | Copyright and patent information for the package. |
End User License Agreement | License agreement for the package. |
Package Contents |
Files contained in the package and detailed properties of each file. See Inspecting the properties of a file, below, for details. |
Release notes | Release notes for the package, if applicable. |
Package Dependencies |
Raw dependencies (for instance, libraries) of the package as well as packages that the QNX Software Center will install to satisfy those dependencies. On occasion, this pane may indicate that any one of several packages can satisfy a raw dependency. Suppose, for example, that either of two packages can satisfy a raw dependency for a package that we'll call Package A. In that case, you can choose one of the following approaches:

To inspect the properties of a file, you can use the Package Contents pane of the Properties view (see table above) or the Advanced tab:
Simply click the tab and do the following:
For descriptions of the various properties displayed for files, see Manifest report fields in the Manifest Reports & File Lookup chapter.
For each file, the QNX Software Center can display the following property types:
The myQNX server may define newer, more accurate properties than local package data. Thus, we recommend you always use the QNX Software Center online.
If you have to use the QNX Software Center offline, you can still inspect the server-defined values of a file by using the QNX Software Center Portal on the QNX website: https://www.qnx.com/swcenter/
In most cases, the file properties of a file are identical to its package asset properties. The two property types may differ if, for example, you override the file provided by QNX Software Systems with your own file.
To dismiss the Properties view, click the X in the upper-right corner of the view. To restore the view, select or select .
To inspect the properties of any package or file when the view is dismissed, right-click the item and select Properties.
