Description Peter Cigehn

2016-12-28 08:27:10 EST

Currently if an element owns one (or more) diagrams, then the diagram(s) are located after all owned model elements in the model explorer. This makes it very time consuming to locate the diagram(s) if the there also are lots of owned elements.

It would make more sense to always list all the owned diagrams first, and then list all owned model elements. In most cases, there are always more owned elements than there are owned diagrams anyway. This would make it much faster to find and locate the owned diagrams, and the usability would be improved when navigating the model browsing for owned diagrams.

Note that this change is most evident for new workspaces, which initialize the ordering of facet customizations according to 'rank'.  For existing workspaces, this ordering can be re-initialized by deleting the

    org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.ui.emf.facet.order
     
list element from the

    org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.ui.emf.customizationManager
    
section element of the

    $WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.ui.emf/dialog_settings.xml

file in the workspace metadata area.  The whole customization manager section can be deleted from this file, but then that would also forget the enablement of customizations, if the user had tweaked that.

Verified to be fixed in the latest Papyrus Oxygen build (#3777). The diagrams are now ordered as the first child nodes in the model explorer making it easier to locate the diagrams.

Closing as verified fixed.
