Try using cntl-shift-e. It is a dialog that will give you a good approximation of what you are looking for. You can select the file you want to remain open. Then hit 'Invert Selection' to pick everything else. Then hit 'Close Selected Editors' to close them all. perhaps close All should not close Pinned editors? exactly... if there was a little pin button I could use that would be awesome. If you only want this for one file, then I would recommend using "Close Others". Right click on the editor tab to bring up the appropriate menu. Is this sufficient? The workflow that I wanted involved having three files kept open but the close others is a helpful feature I wasn't aware of that I'll have to take advantage of. *** Bug 75355 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** "Pin Editor" currently has no meaning in Eclipse. Unless you open the preferences and enable "Close Editors Automatically". This toggle should be used more often, especially since I can't even remove it from the toolbar. Can anyone (Doug?) explain the function of the Pin Editor button on a fresh install of Eclipse 3.0? If it has no function, I would consider that a [minor] bug, not an enhancement. Pin editor is used in conjunction with the "Close editors automatically" option ("Window > Preferences > Workbench > Editors"). ... which is disabled by default in Eclipse 3.0. So why is the toolitem still present and enabled. A toggle button which does nothing (ignoring the obscure preference setting that 98% of users will not enable) is a problem, not an enhancement. As part of the 2% of users which enable that preference, changing the definition of "Pin Editor" to the one described here would be an enhancement. Moving Dougs bugs Remy is now responsible for watching the [EditorMgmt] component area. This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. |
