3.3 M6 1. Open Preferences 2. Type "folding" into search box. You will only see the pref for JDT (and one for Ant). But there is a separate one for PDE under "Plug-in Development" -> "Editors" -> "Enable folding when opening a new editor" that didn't show up in the filtered list. Also see related enhancement request, bug #181369
Currently PDE does not have a preference for folding. In the JDT's case, it makes sense to have one since they will fold some things automatically (like imports). For PDE, we do not fold anything automatically. By default, every object PDE can fold is expanded. Therefore, if the user doesn't want an element to fold, then the user just doesn't click the fold icon on the left. If bug 181369 is accepted and there is a single global preference for enabling folding, then we can definitely look at integrating our folding in with that preference.
Brian, we do have a preference for folding, man. It is on the Editors preference page like Ant.
I was looking through the preference pages this morning and totally could not find it, I even double checked. Sounds like a good bug the preference is that hard to find :)
Should now be easier to find PDE's folding preference
