Paul,
1) If you have the need to have one repository file per filter pool then I
would suggest the following. In the iSphere Preferences I add an option to
specify a general path to the location of the repository files. Another
option is to specify a general name of a repository file. The last option is
to specify if the filter pool shall be a part of the repository file name or
not. When you start the iSphere RSE Filter Management the repository file
name will be automatically set to the name you have specified in the
preferences depending on the selected filter pool.
2) We can do this.
3) That should also be no problem. I have to say I don`t know anyone who has
turned on the ability to show the filter pool name in the RSE.
4) You can apply every repository file to every filter pool in every profile
in every workspace. The repository itself does not contain the original
filter pool, profile or workspace the filters have pushed to the repository
from. Therefore you cannot filter the screen by this values. I also can`t
see that this would make sense. You could try to explain why this would make
sense to you.
5) No problem.
6) I can`t reproduce this. Anyway, creating, deleting, renaming filter pools
within subsystems is a job that will be done by RDi and not iSphere, so if
there is a problem I have to say this is a internal bug. Sorry.

Nice feature, but there are some changes that could be useful.
1) If we are going to have repository files to hold all the filters, then
remembering the name of the repository file for us (per filter pool) is
essential! I now have no idea which file contains the filters I want to
restore back to the workspace I removed them from!! Defaulting the name to
connection name & filter pool name for a new filter repository might be
useful, too.
2) When I created my first repository, the file browse allowed me to type
"filter_store" without typing the file extension .rseflt, but the RSE Filter
Management screen complained that the filename did not have the extension
("File name does not end with .rseflt"). Normally, if there is no file
extension when you enter a filename in a "File Browse" screen, and the file
filter is set ("RSE Filters"), the filename entered will automatically have
the extension name appended to the end. (Also, the .rseflt file extension
should be shown somewhere so that I know that is what is expected.)
3) The RSE Filter Management button should be on the right-click (context)
menus for filter pools (defaulting the filter pool in the management
screen), the object subsystem and all filters. Took me ages to find that
little button in the Remote Systems view!
4) Is it possible to use the same repository file for all filters in all
filter pools in all connections in all workspaces? If so, will the
management screen allow us to filter by workspace, connection, filter pool,
etc.?
5) The "pending actions" in the filter management screen is difficult to see
(I am colour blind). Can it be highlighted somehow, preferably in a colour
that contrasts with the white background colour?
There seems to be a bug with the iSphere Spooled Files subsystem. I renamed
a filter pool under the isphere SPLF subsystem to the same name as a filter
pool in the object subsystem, and now *ALL* my filters in the object
subsystem (under that filter pool) have been removed. Not sure if this is a
problem with isphere or rdi/eclipse, but there should be some warning maybe,
and I find it a bit weird that renaming the isphere SPLF subsystem's filter
pool wiped the object subsystem's filter pool data as the filter pool's
description name is not the same as the filter pool's file name in the
background.

Yo mama, how cool is this?
I know a lot of people who are spending a lot of time in creating filters
for the Remote Systems Explorer. But what if your workspace is corrupted and
you have to create a new one? Recreating all the filters can be a time
consuming thing. Or you have installed RDi on a computer in your office and
at home and you want to synchronize your filters. Or you just want to share
your filters with your colleagues. RDi has a feature to export and import a
whole connection. But here you have to take everything or nothing.
With the new feature iSphere RSE Filter Management this task will be as
simple as possible. You can export single or all filters from your workspace
to a repository (XML File). You can import single or all filters from a
repository to your workspace. The filters in the workspace and in the
repository will be provided by iSphere in four separate areas.
* Filters only in workspace.
* Filters only in repository.
* Filters in workspace and in repository with different type or filter
string.
* Filters in workspace and in repository with equal type and filter string.
In the areas you can define actions for the filters you want to perform. The
actions are.
* Push to workspace.
* Push to repository.
* Delete from workspace.
* Delete from repository.
* Delete from both.
After defining all actions for the specific filters you have to perform the
actions and the changes will be applied. That's all.
For the future we have plans to provide a similar feature for Compile
Commands and User Actions. So keep listening on this channel.
Another new feature in this release is "Search For Updates". When this
feature is activated you get notified if a new iSphere version is available.
You can turn this on or off in the iSphere Preferences. By default this is
turned on. This new release contains also some bug fixes.
So what are you waiting for? Get the new iSphere and have fun.
PS : When you click on "Files" at the iSphere Project Home there is also a
PDF document describing all the features of iSphere.
