Description Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-04-08 06:08:00 EDT 
Build 2.1

1. Turn autobuild off
2. Export preferences
3. Start a new workspace
4. Import the preferences you exported in 2
Observe: The autobuild preference is still on until you restart.

Same happend with the 'Show color icons' preference.

It should offer to retart the workbench after importing the preferences.
Comment 1 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-04-08 09:10:17 EDT 
This is why there are notes on preferences that require restart. However the 
autobuild problem should not exist and sounds like a genuine bug.
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-04-08 10:34:01 EDT 
The auto build preference problem is a result of Bug 36216
Comment 3 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2003-04-08 10:53:38 EDT 
Note the initial request still stands. I find the notes on preferences not 
visible enough. We should really offer to restart (as we offer to rebuild if 
the compiler setting change).

Suggested rework when core issues fixed

Here is a patch to the current code that removes all of the references to the
auto build UI preference. When the Core issues are fixed this can be applied in
order to simplify the code.
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-04-08 14:52:19 EDT 
Confirmed that the fix to 36216. Auto build needs to revisited along with 
preferences in general - see Bug 36236.

Marking this as an enhancement as the only remaining issue is the request to 
restart.

3.0 M8: Opend bug 57010 because imported preferences were also not applied to 
the workbench appearance (colors and fonts).

As per http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Bug_Triage_Change_2009
Comment 8 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2019-09-06 16:10:33 EDT 
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.
