Filtering Files

In this section:

Developer Studio and App Studio separate application folders and project folders differently. In Developer Studio, virtual folders are used to group your content by file type. App Studio does not use virtual folders. Instead, you use the filtering options at the top of the Environments Tree panel to view the content in an application folder or project folder. The Environments Tree toolbar filtering options are shown in the following image.

Filtering for Additional File Types

In Developer Studio, to filter and view additional file types in the Explorer window, along with the default filtered file types, you must create a new filter. To do this, you must specify the file type in the Edit Filters tab, in the Properties dialog box. You can access the Properties dialog box from the project folder shortcut menu.

The Edit Filters tab, is shown in the following image.

In App Studio, you do not need to create filters to view additional file types. Instead, you can use the Show All files filtering command, located on the Environments Tree toolbar. This command displays all files in a project or folder, regardless of their file type. The Show All files command is selected in the following image.

In App Studio, you can also use the Other files command, located on the Environments Tree toolbar, to display files that are not procedure files, Master Files, HTML files, Maintain files, or image files. The Other files command is selected in the following image.
