Re: Filters (Was: websphere udate for 6.0.0.1)

Dave,

Are you creating a new filter every time you want to open a member ? 
I just have a few filters set up, one for all the members in each source
file we work with, and I always have the members I need right there for
the clicking.  If new members have been added, I just right click and
refresh the filter to display the new members. 

One of the big pluses for me with WDSC is how much *faster* I can get to
the members I need and open them than I could in SEU, especially when I
need to work with several at the same time. 

Also, right clicking a filter and selecting "show in table view" creates
a handy reference where you can see the text descriptions of your
members (and even sort on the descriptions...which you can't do in PDM).
Unfortunately, only one filter can be displayed in the table view at a
time, but you can switch back and forth easily between them using "work
with" from the black triangle/arrow thing on the right.
