Basic components

File List
Icons, typeface and mouse shortcuts are described under Quick Reference.
The File List shows the files belonging to the projects that are checkmarked in the Project Tree. The list can be further constrained by various filters (all located above the list).
You can filter the File List according to:

- status -- modified? locked? own? (this information can be cached).
- location -- private/shared working environments?
- permissions -- read/write?
- file types
- regular expressions

Right-click Context menu in the File List
Apart from including frequently used commands, the right-click Context menu is configurable. To find out how to configure the commands, please refer to the Preferences on page 467. Note that the available commands in the menu are the same for all files of a particular file type.
File Info Line
The File Info Line, between the File List and the Project Tree, uses an icon to show read/write/modified status of a selected file, followed by the name of the project the file belongs to. The icons are the same as those used in the Project Tree and are described under Quick Reference. Note that the "modified" status can only be shown if the History check box at the bottom of the tool is selected.
Project Tree
Icons, typeface and mouse shortcuts are described under Quick Reference.
The Project Tree shows the hierarchical project structure.
The nodes in the Project Tree can be clicked to expand or collapse them. An expanded node is indicated by a "-" sign, a collapsed node by a "+" sign.
The icons in the Project Tree show whether a project is writable and whether its objects should be linked to its superproject's targets.
The attributes displayed in the Project Tree can be edited in the Project Attributes dialog, for more information please refer to Project Attributes.
A checkmark next to a project's name means that the files of the project are shown in the File List. In SNiFF+, a project with a checkmark next to it is referred to as a checkmarked project.
Note that the same project can be a subproject of more than one project.
The Project Tree drop-down
This drop-down, above the Project Tree, is used to organize the view in Project Tree:

Entry | Description
Full Tree | The full hierarchical structure of the Tree is shown.
No Duplicates | Duplicates are hidden (the same project can be a subproject of more than one project).
Sorted | The Projects are sorted by path names (case sensitive).
