If you have been using the Remote System Explorer for some
2007-02-22 22:38:26 +00:00
time, your workspace might contain too many filters to navigate easily.
Or,
you might just want to keep groups of filters separate if, for example,
you
need to represent two distinct server environments in the Remote System
Explorer,
regardless of how many filters you have. In either case, you can group
filters
2008-06-06 20:02:11 +00:00
into < i > filter pools< / i > .
< / p >
< p >
All filters live in filter pools, but these remain hidden unless you choose
2007-02-22 22:38:26 +00:00
to manage them explicitly. If you do not manage them yourself the Remote
System Explorer manages them for you and all of your filters appear together
in all connections. When you create filter pools, however, any filter you
create within that filter pool is only present in connections that reference
that filter pool, and will not appear in any other connections. (See the
2008-06-06 20:02:11 +00:00
related links for more information about filter pools.)
