Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2001-10-10 22:45:33 EDT 
View settings should be persistent. Or at least, they should have the choice of being persistent.
	For example, "Show Version Info" should be persistent (see 1GFB33B, 1GKDHED).
	Many 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 it actually becomes an expensive operation to turn it on again.
	We need something in the framework that allows views to persist their settings.

	Happened to notice that the ".*" filter setting is persistent.
	I always turn it off when I get a fresh drop and clean out my target.
	It stays off after that.
	So if it helps any, there is at least one view setting that is persistent.
