Navigator Window

Use the Navigator to help keep track of programs and runs when you are running the same program several times, or when you are running many programs at once. The Navigator groups together all runs of a program, with the Auto Merge run listed first and the most recent run listed last.

The Navigator is a docking window and can display:

§          The program icon

§          The file name and, if the Show directories in file names workspace preference is selected, the path for each program

§          The date and time for each run

§          Command-line arguments specified for each run

§      Use the Workspace tab in the Preferences dialog box to select the information you want to display in the Navigator.

§      PureCoverage keeps in memory the data for each run shown in the Navigator. If you're running low on memory, close obsolete runs or save runs to .cfy files and then close them, to free memory.

§      Double-click a run in the Navigator to bring its data windows to the top.

§      Right-click in the Navigator to display a shortcut menu for working with the window. Right-click an entry in the window to display a shortcut menu for the selected entry.
