Changing filters

You can change a filter if you want to alter the host items that it displays in the Remote Systems view. When you change a filter, you can also add extra conditions to what is filtered. For example, if you have a filter that displays all files of type *.c, you may also want to add an additional filter string that will display files of type *.h also. To change a filter:
  1. In the Remote Systems view, expand your connection name, and then expand Files to see a list of filters.
  2. Right-click the filter and select Properties.
  3. In the properties window, select the Filter Strings category and edit the conditions that are filtered and click Apply.
    • If you want to add extra conditions, as described in the introduction to this topic, click New filter string and complete the dialog. Click Create.
  4. Click OK.
