SnapshotCM Tips & Tricks

• wls, wci and wset filter options. Several filters are new to these commands. Additional -K options in wls allow for the selection of any combination of files present in the snapshot and workspace. In addition, the new -I option to the wci and wset commands selects locally modified files and allows them to be checked in, even if they are not locked. (This option is automatically enabled for concurrent workspaces.) See the command manual pages for more details on these options. 
• Push-pin on Project Manager Dialog. The GUI's Project Manager Dialog provides quick access to project information. It normally closes when you open a project (either by double clicking a project or by selecting a project and pressing open), but if you select the push-pin in the left of the title-bar, the dialog will only close if explicitly shut down. This makes the dialog especially useful for quickly switching between projects. 
• File name filters on workspace commands allow the user to either select or ignore files matching specified patterns. For example, the following command will list all .cpp and all .h workspace files that are not already imported.

  wls -XR -KKK -j '*.cpp|*.h' /

  The following command will list all workspace files, but ignore any .o files:

  wls -XR -KKK -j '!*.o' /

  See the wls man page for a full description of the file name filter syntax.
