The Group Attributes dialog is an expanded Project Attributes dialog that lets you set the project attributes of multiple projects listed in the Project Editor's Project Tree. In this section, you will learn how to use the Group Attributes dialog.
To set all project attributes except for File Types attributes
If you want to add an existing file type to all projects in the Project List:
Start SNiFF+ and open the root project of all the projects whose attributes you want to
modify.
Setting attributes in the Group Project Attributes dialog
After the project is loaded, you should see the project and its subprojects in the Project
Tree of the Project Editor.
Check out the Project Description Files (PDFs) of all the projects whose attributes you
want to modify.
In the Project Tree, checkmark these projects.
Choose Project > Attributes of Checkmarked Projects....
The Group Project Attributes dialog appears. The projects checkmarked in the Project
Editor are listed in hierarchical order in the dialog's Project List.
Notice that the topmost project in the Project List is selected. In the Group Attributes dialog,
you modify the attributes of the project selected in the Project List and apply these
attributes to the other projects.
If you want to select another project in the Project List, do so now.
Like the Project Attributes dialog, the Group Project Attributes dialog groups project attributes into 5 main views:
Here's what the General view looks like:
Select the appropriate node.
To set File Types attributes
Decide which attributes you want to set and apply to all the projects in the Project List.
Set these attributes. To apply the settings to all the projects, for each attribute you set,
select the Global Attribute check box to its right.
Press the Set All button.
The attributes now apply to all the projects checkmarked in the Project Tree. SNiFF+ now
indicates that these projects have been modified.
To modify other project attributes, select the appropriate node and complete the same
steps as above in that view.
Press Ok to close the Group Project Attributes dialog.
Save all modified projects.
Select the File Types node.
If you want to create a new file type and add it to all the projects in the Project List:
If you want to delete an existing file type from all the projects in the Project List:
If you want to modify the attributes of the same file type in all the projects in the Project
List:
Press the Set All button.
The attributes you've modified now apply to all the projects checkmarked in the Project
Tree. SNiFF+ now indicates that these projects have been modified.
Press Ok to close the Group Project Attributes dialog.
Save all modified projects.
