How to show categories field by default when opening the library manager

LuisGutierrez

Hi all,

Virtuoso version IC6.1.6.500.13.2

This is a very simple question but one that I haven't found an answer as of yet. My intention is to have the library manager displaying the categories field without the need of ticking the checkbox of show categories. I've searched in the library manager reference guide and found the environment variable "showCategoriesOn" but this doesn't seem to do anything. In fact, this is said to be equivalent to the check box but what I want is to show the categories by default. I have the feeling this should be very simple but I can't seem to find a GUI entry or a SKILL command to do this.

Any help is much appreciated.

  • Hi Luis,

    There is/can be a .libsel file (perhaps in your home directory? - I think the search path follows the Cadence Search Facility (CSF) search path) and it can contain the following entry (among others):

    cdsLibManager.main showCategoriesOn boolean t

    I think that you can make a similar setting in a .Xdefaults/.Xresources file. Check the documentation on "libsel" or "cdsLibManager" for more details.

    Regards,
    Lawrence.
