Vizard 8 » The Vizard IDE » Searching and navigation » Passive Documents
8.0
The Passive Documents feature can be used to prevent file clutter after searching, browsing, or debugging code. Files that are marked as passive will be automatically closed once the passive document limit is reached. When a passive document is modified it will automatically be changed to non-passive. Passive documents will not be added to the recent document list and will not be restored when restarting Vizard.
The following operations will open the file in passive mode:
|

|
Go to traceback location |

|
Go to debug call stack |

The passive document limit controls the number of passive documents that can be opened in the IDE at a single time. If the number of passive documents opened is at the limit and a new passive document is opened, the oldest passive document will be automatically closed.
The passive document feature and limit can be modified through the Options window.
Passive documents will display a pin icon inside the file tab (as shown below). Clicking the pin icon will change the document to non-passive.
You can manually close all open passive documents by selecting the Window > Close All Passive Documents menu item.
