Location of generated X-Ref information

Where and how X-Ref information is stored depends solely on the X-Ref technology used (not on the programming language).

Project Type | RAM-Based X-Ref | DB-Driven X-Ref
Shared | Default : In each Project root directory. Options : Can be stored anywhere in your file system. | Always in a subdirectory ( .sniffdb ) at the root of each Working Environment. Note that only one database is created per Working Environment, and all database files are stored in .sniffdb .
Absolute (Browsing-Only) | Default : In each Project root directory. Options : Can be stored anywhere in your file system. | If absolute projects are opened in a Working Environment, the X-Ref info is generated to the (existing) database for that Working Environment (under .sniffdb ). If opened outside of a Working Environment, the X-Ref information is written to a database (under .sniffdb ) in a Default Working Environment for Absolute Projects , which can be set in your Preferences.

- Notice that, under DB-driven cross referencing, X-Ref information is stored at Working Environment level. The implications of this are discussed in the following section.
