See 1GKDH4V: ITPUI:ALL - View settings should be able to be persistent NOTES:
Just to clarify, do you wish persistent properties on a per-view basis, or one persisted state? If you change the value on one navigator and then open another, should it have the new value? What about multiple types of views that share the same property (e.g. Navigator and Packages both share Show Version Info). If you turn it on in one, then open an instance of the other, should it have the same state as the first?
Global and persistent please, if I had my way <g>. There is another PR opened to make "Show Version Info" persistent. 1GFB33B: ITPJUI:WINNT - 'show version info' should be persistent Here is point #5 of my "top ten" that I sent to JW in email: 5 - View settings should be *persistent*. For example, "Show Version Info" should be persistent - and global, too! We have to turn on "Show Version Info" in every view, every time we launch Eclipse. Persistence is the really important point here. If it is not made global, then make it a *toolbar button* in every relevant view: Navigator, Packages, and Hierarchy (also in the "useful view", which we need to add <g>). In fact, "Show Version Info" should even be ON by default if a view is in the Repository perspective. Many - I would say most - other view settings should also persist. For example, "Ignore Whitespace" in the Synchronize view. It causes a re-sync, so if the user just restarted Eclipse, then it actually becomes an expensive operation to turn it on again. See 1GKDH4V, 1GFB33B, 1GKDHED, 1GKDHHZ.

This is annoying since I have to reset it every time I sync with the repository.
Time permitting we'll look at for 2.1.
Fixed with new sync view. Both the compare editor settings and the sync view setting are persisted.
