I think "Filters..." is also easier to parse for the user and is still a valid description.

Comment 2 Lars Vogel

I copied in a few people which showed interested in simplifying the problems view in the past to get feedback about this change.

Seems that we just need to edit the UI visible in the below image: http://imgur.com/m6sDIBD.png

Yes, I believe it will be simple rename. 

But before we do this change, I wanted to hear other peoples feedback.

Patrik, Stefan, Ian, Andrey (or other): Do you think this rename is useful to our users?

As an Eclipse User it makes sense because it establishes a pattern, hence is easier to remember: Both in Project Explorer and in Problems View, you can find a similar "Filters..." Menu Item to allow you to customize the view.

If approved, I already have two changes ready: one for code and the other for docs.

OK, lets go ahead with the change. Please ensure that you also update the Bookmark and the Tasks view, they use the same infrastructure.

Fast you are, Jedi. :-)

Comment 7 Stefan Xenos

Yes, calling it "Filters..." makes sense.

Comment 8 Ian Pun

2016-08-30 13:42:59 EDT

Yes I agree with the name change. The current name is definitely not as useful as Filters, and would help getting users to use it more often.

I still see "Configure Contents" in:

Eclipse SDK
Version: Oxygen (4.7)
Build id: N20160901-2000
OS: Linux, v.4.4.0-31-generic, x86_64 / gtk 3.18.9

This seems fixed in: 

Eclipse SDK
Version: Oxygen (4.7)
Build id: N20160905-2000
OS: Windows 10, v.10.0, x86_64 / win32

Comment 21 Patrik Suzzi

Double check: The Filters.. menu seems ok at first run of Eclipse SDK
Version: Oxygen (4.7)
Build id: I20160915-0230
OS: Windows 10, v.10.0, x86_64 / win32
