Is this really a regression? How does the same scenario behave with Luna? My guess is that it's not a bug, but more the fact that if you have no workingset enabled (via "Select Working Sets..."), then the project explorer fails back to showing all projects. I understand the UI is not optimal, and automatically opening the window to select working sets when none is available and switching to workingsets as top-level elements is a good idea. I'm marking this as an enhancement request and re-titling this report to make it clearer what's the current state and what's user expectation. well if its not a regression than its a major reason to not use Project Explorer :) With package explorer it shows all my workingsets including "Other" for the things not in a working set. in project explorer I seem to *only* be shown things in the workingset, so its really not a good UX at all even if I was shown the select working set dialog. (In reply to Max Rydahl Andersen from comment #2) > in project explorer I seem to *only* be shown things in the workingset, so > its really not a good UX at all even if I was shown the select working set > dialog. There are 2 things provided by working sets in Project Explorer: organization and filtering. When enabling some working set (from "Select Working Set"), then you are configuring filters. Only the content of the selected Working Sets is shown. When setting top-level element as "Working Sets", then you are configuring organization. Top-level element become the selected working sets. What you describe seems to be that you have selected some working sets, but not made top-level elements to be working sets. No, I have selected all workingsets and enabled the toplevel working sets. I now only shows the workingsets - what is called Other in Package Explorer just dont seem to exist. So I'm back to using package explorer as I do not want to be forced to categorize *everything* in workingsets. See bug 266030 for a default working set. I made a patch for it, I think it would help if you could review it and add a vote. So it this bug a dup of 266030 ? this does look like a duplicate - unfortunately I can't try the patch since its not applying cleanly ;/ can you rebase it ? |
