Description Mike Pawlowski CLA 2007-08-09 16:47:08 EDT
Top-level nodes for various form page outline views are nodes representing form pages.  We should include nodes representing applicable source pages in order to allow users to switch to source pages as well.

No child nodes are required for source page nodes; since, each source page *should* have its own source outline view.

Perhaps we could even have different 'page' icons for source and form pages.

Patch for bug 199482.

Source pages will now show up in outlines. In order to enable switching between pages from the form outlines in CS editors and TOC editor, all three editors no longer return the same parent page ID for each page, since source pages will have different IDs.

Patch for bug 199482.

Works very well for editors that use the 'smart' models (manifest, simplecs, toc).     But, not for others.  Details to follow

This patch causes problems for editors that do not define a source outline view, but use a form outline view in its place.

When you select the source page node in the form outline view, a new form outline view is loaded for the source page.  As a result, the selection is lost.  Subsequent selections in the outline view cause the selection to jump or be wrong.

More thought has to be given to what we want to do in this case; since, having a form outline view for a source page is a hack to begin with

I realized recently that not all of my bugs were reassigned after my internship at PDE ended. Sorry for allowing this issue to sit unnoticed for so long.

Assigning back to inbox so that the current PDE owners can finally get a look.

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.

The outline shows the document structure, not the editor structure. As such I don't see the point in showing a source tab node in the outline.

If I misunderstood the feature request, please clarify.
