Description Philipp Kursawe CLA 2010-02-13 11:58:32 EST 
Currently the ShowPreferencePageHandler only accepts the propertyPageId. It would be a nice feature if it would also take a comma separated list of "displayedIds".
Also it would be nice of one could specify that the preference page filtering is locked (OPTION_FILTER_LOCKED).
I could provide a patch.

What would be the use case for this enhancement?

Use case:
prevent the user from changing the filter, so only my preference page is shown. If there is such functionality exposed by the PreferencesUtil class, why not expose it to the accompanied command? 
Take the "Problems View" preference command handler. It overrides the preferences command instead of just displaying its preference page in the preference dialog. Currently it implements its own preference dialog. I filed a separate bug for that.

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.
