A number of filtering controls are provided at the top of the tool. Individual selections are possible in the various drop-downs, multiple combinations of filters can be selected using the Filters dialog.

The Project Editor's Filters dialog has four tabs.

File Permission tab

File Types tab
The entries depend on the file types included in the project. Use this tab to display any multiple combination of file types included in the project.
File Status drop-down
The File Status drop-down filters the File List according to locking and version information provided by your version control system. This information can be cached using the Use Cache check box (see Use Cache check box).

Entry | Description
All Files | Displays all files in the File List regardless of the file status.
Modified | Opens a Version dialog prompting for a configuration name; only those files that differ from the entered configuration are then displayed.
Unchanged | Opens a Version dialog prompting for a configuration name; only those files that are unchanged compared to the entered configuration are then displayed.
Own | Displays only those files that are locked by you.
Own Modified | Opens a Version dialog prompting for a configuration name; only those files that are locked by you and different compared to the entered configuration are then displayed.
Locked | Displays only locked files in the File List.
Not Locked | Displays only unlocked files in the File List.
Filtered... | Multiple entries are selected in the Filters dialog. Selecting the Filtered... entry itself opens the Filters dialog.

Use Cache check box
Caution: Use this check box with care!
If the check box is selected, file status information provided by your version control system is cached and therefore more quickly accessed. This improves performance when you change filters in the File Status drop-down. Versioning commands issued within SNiFF+ by yourself will update the cached information.
However, if other team members e.g. check out/in files, this will not be reflected if the Use Cache check box is selected. Repository changes made outside of SNiFF+ are also not registered. Information may therefore be inconsistent.
If you need reliable, up-to-date Repository information, clear this check box.
