Then the sentence reads ok.
Actually, it means directory - any directory. A package can have source files in many directories. The search paths of a package are used for all files in all directories of a package. Same for projects. The IDE has one set of search paths (unit search path, include search path, sources search path) for each directory. It creates these sets on demand. Whenever a file is parsed the IDE looks up its cache. If this is the first time that a file in that directory is parsed, the IDE collects all settings and calculates the search paths and compiler options. This data is not stored on disk. > IMHO it should be > > The IDE has one set of search paths for every package and project. > > That means a package can have different search paths than the active > > project. That is true too. If you think that is less confusing please change it.
