Joe,

You can have multiple criteria per filter.  Just right click the filter, 
then select change.  You can have multiple filter strings.  For example, 
our dispatch programs may start with 'RA' or 'DS' for historical reasons. 
I have a filter pool for dispatch applications, and each filter would have 
two filter strings, one selecting members starting with 'RA' and the other 
selecting the 'DS' apps.  I typically have a filter for each language, 
with separate DDS filters for databases and display files.

This doesn't really solve the problem of multiple versions of source, but 
I hope it helps somewhat.

That's great, Rick, but it still doesn't help me.  When I'm working on a
single task, I may need to access programs from order entry, purchasing 
and
AP, as well as some utility programs.  The way the application suite is 
set
up, each application is easily filtered using a prefix on the member 
name
(such as ORD* for order entry).  However, there are maybe twenty 
different
applications.  Add to that the fact that I typically have at least two
different filters for a given prefix, one for production source and one 
for
test source, and you can see that I can quickly end up with a lot of
filters.  Add in variants for multiple versions or client custom code, 
and
you can get pretty full pretty quick, 

Now, if filters had the ability to add LISTS of selection criteria (such 
as
all ORD*, PUR* and SYS* members in libraries RV50PROD and REV50TEST) 
then it
might be a little easier.

Me, I'm talking about having different filters for different

filters in one connection.

Joe,

I've been using the connection per project for some time now and one 
of
the things I really like is that I can easily open the connection for 
an
old project and see what objects were used.  It makes going back in 
time
much easier.

I also think it simplifies the clutter of multiple filters.  I do use
filter pools, but my main connection to our development box is still
cumbersome to navigate.  It contains filters for each of the source
files in my library (27 files, each for a different application +
personal development/historical files) filters for members of my
development team, and filters for our production source.  Each in a
separate pool.  I much prefer a project connection where I can filter
just the source files I will need.  It's a much smaller list to wade
through.

Because connections are the top level of RSI it's easy to find things 
if
the names are descriptive.
