Description Simon Arsenault CLA 2003-03-07 14:24:38 EST
Using build 200303071024 (what hopefully will become 2.1 RC2)

From the navigator menu (little triangle in title area - right side), if you 
select Select Working Set..., your selection shows up in the menu afterwards. 
But it looks weird because the only thing you see is the name and you do not 
know what will happen when you select it.

Would it not be better to have "Select Working Set" open a sub-menu with the 
most recently used listed, then a seperator, then "Other..." which would open 
the dialog? That's the form we have been using with other areas that behave 
like this (views, perspectives, show in, encoding, etc)

See bug 37447, request to allow setting the size of the mru list.

Not for 3.0
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2004-06-28 11:27:18 EDT
Reopening now that 3.0 has shipped
Comment 5 Kim Horne CLA 2007-06-20 13:46:23 EDT
We do this for window working sets now which are generally more useful than picking a specific set for a view.  Marking as wontfix as the alternative is close to what this bug is looking for.
