Reset Simulator v1.5

Having a great time playing around with v1.5...tons of combinations!! Do i need to reset content and settings in simulator to clear html files? even if i delete files in BT_doc folder it's still stored in the simulator (Just like a phone right)...also how do you edit the name of a screen? do u have to delete all together? thanks!!

All the cached files on the sim. are deleted when you click the REfresh button on the apps home screen - just like the actual device. Deleting files from the Xcode project has zero effect on the simulator. The simulator is downloaded it's data and instructions from the server. If those instructions include a pointer to a file in the Xcode project (embedded in the app) then it will find it because they are compiled inside the app when it's installed. Hope this makes sense. The only reason to remove something from Xcode is to lighten the app's file size, doesn't hurt anything to leave stuff in the BT_Docs folder. The control panel allows you to enter a file name or a URL to a doc or image. If you use a file name and not a URL, you're saying ' hey app, use the file embedded in your software with this name ' If you use a URL, you're saying, ' hey app, get this file form the internet and store it in your cache'

Renaming, forgot: To rename a screen in your list just open the advanced properties and set a new nickname. This won't affect the app's behavior at all. To rename a menu item or button, or title of a screen as it appears in the app, use that button, or menu property or the Navigation Bar Title property of a screen.
