Build Identifier: I20110127-2034 If the user creates a tab with one rendering type and wants to change the tab's rendering type to something else without creating another tab, you currently can't do that in the memory browser view. E.g., I want to be able to right click on an existing memory tab, select a rendering type from a context menu, and then the memory contents would be displayed in the selected rendering type. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the default rendering to "Traditional" by clicking on Default Rendering/Traditional in the local pulldown menu 2. Type an address 3. Press the "New tab" button If you want to display the memory in "Integer" instead, you have to: 4. Set the default rendering to "Integer" 5. Press the "New tab" button It would be easier if you could just right click on the memory browser tab, and select "Integer" from a context menu instead.
I implemented it by: 1) adding a public selectRendering() method to MemoryBrowser.java. It takes a rendering type id parameter which specifies the new rendering type. selectRendering() updates the active tab's memory contents with the new rendering type. 2) in my debugger plugin, I added to the memory tab, a context menu that lists the available rendering types. When the user clicks on one of the available rendering types, it invokes selectRendering() with the selected rendering type id. I'll attach a patch for selectRendering() since I would like this method included in the memory browser plugin.

Quick question: there is no "Integer" option in the "Default Rendering" menu. Are you using some custom renderings in your product?
