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.
