Filtering Files

Zend Studio allows you to filter the files displayed in the File Manager by type. A drop-down list, containing the types of files currently defined for the system, is located at the bottom of the File Manager.

File Type Drop-down Menu

 

There are several different options for filtering files by type:

Filter default file types - Use the file manager's file type filter to display files based on the default subset of file types.

To see the list of known file types go to: Tools | Preferences | File Types.

Add user-defined file types - define additional file types and extensions that are recognized by the file manager and therefore can be used to filter the current view.

To add additional file types and file extensions to the list of known file types and extensions, go to: Tools | Preferences | File Types and press add next to the file types or extensions list. Each file type can be associated with more than one extension.

Once a new file type/extension is defined files appearing in the file manager can be filtered accordingly.

Add user-defined file type groups - take a selection of default and user defined file types and group them into a single category for filtering. These file type groups can group any type of file type and the file manager automatically recognizes them.

To group file types go to: Tools | Preferences | File Types and press add in the custom file type groups section.

 

To display files with a particular file extension:

  1. Click on the file type field to open the File Type drop-down list.  

  2. Select the type of files you wish to view in the File Manager window.
    The File Manager automatically displays files of the selected type only.
