I wondered if there was a way to make files with a particular status less visible in the PDM standard vault view?

I could of course put my obsolete files in a different folder, but i would like to keep them in their original project folders for trace ability

The only thing I thought of so far would be to reproduce the project structure beneath an obsolete directory. That is less than ideal and extra work.

Maybe I could make obsolete status files invisible to all but the administrators?

The ideal would be for each user to have a tick box, "display obsolete files" so they can choose to show them or not.

Alternatively I would like a way of displaying them differently, in italics, or highlighted with a colour or something like that.

I'm talking about PDM standard here, don't bother suggesting I buy PDM professional
