PRODUCT VERSION: 0.9 The activation model has been changed to address this request. In 1.0, when the user switched from an editor to a view (e.g. Outline) the Toolbar contributions were still visible but deactivated, the editor contributions were removed and the global actions targeted the active part. In 2.0, when the user swithces from an editor to a view (e.g. Outline) all contributions are preserved and target the active part. If the active part provides an implementation for these actions, they may be enabled. This will enable the Outline view better integration with the editor and still preseve the "actions target the active part" semantics. If the active part does not provide an implementation for an action it is disabled. |
