Check boxes

With Symbols Opens projects with symbol information. For browsing and day-to-day development work, enable this check-box. If you do not need symbol information, e.g. to open large projects for making structural changes, clear this check box. Default: selected.
Use Cache When projects are closed, all necessary information for re-opening them is cached in a single file to speed up project opening. If Use Cache is selected, only this file is read. If not, all and the original Project Description Files (PDFs) are read, and all source files are checked.
Caution: The cached information can be incorrect if (1.) changes are made to projects and files between SNiFF+ sessions, that is, outside of SNiFF+, or (2.) if the preceding SNiFF+ session was terminated unexpectedly. Default: not selected.
Open X-Ref-DB Read Only Applies only if the database-driven cross reference system is used.
The option is only available for the first Project to be opened in a given Working Environment.
As soon as the first Project has been opened with Read Only database access, all subsequent Projects can also only be opened with Read Only database access in the current Working Environment and current SNiFF+ session. Default: not selected.

Files menu
The Files menu in the Project File dialog is slightly different from the one in the File dialog. In the Project File dialog, the Files menu displays the relative paths of (shared) projects.
When you select a PDF (Project Description File) in the Files menu, SNiFF+ first tries to open the project in your Private Working Environment. If the PDF is not located there, SNiFF+ searches for it in the shared source working environment. To override this default behavior of SNiFF+, type in the path of the PDF (in the field right above the Open button).
