libSelectCellViewCombineMode

cdsLibManager.filter libSelectCellViewCombineMode cyclic { "never" | "always"}

Description

Controls the cell filter mode of Library Browser form.

The default is never.

You can choose to make the cell filtering faster by preventing the view filter from being applied to it or you can choose to make it more accurate but slightly slower by letting the view filter affect the list of cells displayed.

If you access the Library Browser form from Virtuoso, place your .cdsenv in your $HOME directory; unlike the Library Manager, Virtuoso does not look for the .cdsenv file in your current working directory.

Arguments

never

Applies cell filter before the list of cells is displayed when a library in the Library Browser form is selected, and the view filter gets ignored, which means that even cells that do not contain any views matching the view filter are displayed. As a result, the list of cells is displayed much faster. “never” is the default setting.

always

Applies both the cell filter and view filter before the list of cells is displayed when a library in the Library Browser form is selected, only cells containing views that match the view filter are displayed. With this setting, the result takes longer to display the list of cells in the library.

GUI Equivalent

None

Example

envGetVal("cdsLibManager.filter" "libSelectCellViewCombineMode")
envSetVal("cdsLibManager.filter" "libSelectCellViewCombineMode" 'cyclic "always")
