The directory tree and the file table show the local directories/files below the project's root directory. .svn-directories and ignored directories and files within other ignored directories are not displayed.
The directory tree shows the project's directories and their SVN states, which are denoted by different icons. The primary directory states are listed in Primary Directory States. Every primary state may be combined with additional states listed in Additional Directory States. In case of a versioned directory, the corresponding revision number is displayed after the name of the directory. The revision will be omitted if it's equal to its parent directory revision. If the directory hasn't been checked out with depth Fully recursive, the check out depth will be displayed in parantheses, too. The tooltip shows detailed SVN information for the corresponding directory, similar to the contents of the file table, see below.
To speed search the directory tree for a certain directory, click into the tree (so the Directories view becomes active) and start typing the directory name. This will make a small popup come up, which displays the characters you have already entered. Wildcard symbols '*' and '%' can be used with the usual meaning.
The file table shows the project's files with their SVN states and various additional information. The primary file states are listed in Common Primary File States and Rare Primary File States. Every primary state may be combined with additional states listed in Additional File States. The rest of this section explains configuration options for the file table. They are always related only to the current project and are also stored with the current project.
The toolbar of the file table contains the Filter input field, which can be used to restrict the displayed files to a certain file name pattern. By default, simple patterns, including the wildcard symbols '*' and '%' are supported. You can also use '!' at the beginning of a pattern to invert it. For example, '!*.txt' will show all files which don't have .txt extension.
From the attached drop-down menu you can reset the filter with Show All, which simply clears the Filter field. You can also select Regular Expressions instead of simple patterns. For details on the supported regular expression constructs refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html. With Save Pattern you can save a pattern. Once a pattern is saved it will be displayed in the top of the drop-down menu. It can be used by selecting it and removed again by Remove Pattern.
Similar to the directory tree, the speed search is also available for the file table.
With the menu items in the View menu, you can also set filters to display only files which meet certain criteria. Refer to the View menu for details. By default, these file filters will also be applied on the directories. You can change this behaviour in the Preferences by Use View-menu file filters also for directories.
By default, double-clicking a file in the file table, the file will be 'opened' in one of various ways, depending on its file state:
If, for example, you want to always open (Edit) the file independent of its state by double-clicking it, assign the <Enter>-keystroke accelerator (Accelerators) to the Query|Open menu item.
