Default Group Subwindows in the Stream Browser

Each workspace and dynamic stream has a default group, consisting of the elements that are currently active in that context. [note More precisely, the default group contains a version of each active element.] In graphical mode, the Stream Browser can display the default group for one workspace or stream at a time.

Opening a Default Group Subwindow

The Stream Browser displays a   Default Group icon for each workspace and dynamic stream with a non-empty default group. Click this icon to open a subwindow displaying the default group.

You can display default groups just one-at-a-time -- the subwindow closes automatically if you click the icon of another workspace or stream.
