| <p> |
| Resource filters allow you to configure which files and folders are included automatically |
| in a project resource hierarchy when refresh is performed. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| By adding resource filters to a project or folder, you can systematically prevent some file |
| system entries to be displayed in the resource tree. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A resource filter is either of <b>Include Only</b> or <b>Exclude All</b> type, and can apply to either files, |
| folders, or both. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Resource filters only apply to files and/or folders that are implicitly included in the workspace |
| by the refresh operation. Link files and folders are not affected by resource filters, since they |
| need to be created explicitly by the user. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| An "Include" resource filter allows only files and/or folders that match the filter condition |
| to be included in the workspace during the refresh operation. If multiple "Include" filters exist, |
| the elements included will be those who match any of the existing "Include" filters. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| An "Exclude" resource filter prevent all files and/or folders that match the filter condition |
| to be included in the workspace during the refresh operation. If multiple "Exclude" filters exist, |
| the elements excluded will be those who match any of the existing "Exclude" filters. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If both "Exclude" and "Include" resource filters exist in a given folder or project, only files |
| and/or folders that match any of the "Include" filters <b>and </b> do not match any of the "Exclude" |
| filters will be included in the workspace. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A resource filter can apply recursively to all children of the project or folder it is created on. In |
| such case, the resource filter will apply to a sub-folder as if it was created in that sub-folder |
| itself, following the rules mentioned above. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Resource filters can be created, edited and removed in |
| the <b>File > Properties > Resource > Resources Filters</b> property page for a project or |
| folder resource. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Resource filters can also be created on a folder before that folder is created in the workspace by |
| selecting the "Resource Filters..." button in the "Advanced" section of the <b>New Folder wizard</b>. |
