EG (12/8/00 5:01:52 PM) When a View is activate the editor contributions disappear. 1) create a .readme resource 2) open it in the editor notice the 3 contributed actions in the toolbar 3) click inside the outliner the 3 contributed actions disappear Activating a View should not deactivate an editor contribution. This is a regression and different behaviour from what we had in the tech preview. NOTES: KH (4/2/2001 5:48:12 PM) This is consistent with other applications and makes managing the menu and toolbar much simpler. Suggest closing this PR. EG (4/6/01 11:51:39 AM) MS applications don't do this, see VisualStudio as an example. Where the behaviour feels really strange is when you move from the editor to the outliner. Editor an outliner form a unit to the user and activating/deactiving contributions gives a lot instability. Consider this use case: 1) select a method in Java outliner 2) got to the editor -> editor activates its contributions 3) select another method in the outliner ->editor looses its contributions. Reopended for pointing out the Content outliner/Editor problem. KH (8/2/2001 12:58:18 PM) Many users (still) complain about this. Need to investigate usability issues.
Fixed in latest 2.0 builds. Editor contribibutions stay around and views can, provide implementations for these actions. (e.g. Outline View case) It is also possible for action sets to become visible when parts are activated. (e.g. User adds packages view to resource perspecitive, it is now possible for the refactor actionset to become visible)
