Build 20011101

In the type hierarchy perspective, the title of the window is the name of the 
type you opened the hierarchy on (which is good). But when you use Focus on... 
or Focus on X, the title is not changed.

question to the desktop:
can the perspective's label be changed?
By focusing on another type, the perspectives input is changed. Is that 
supported?
Comment 3 Eduardo Pereira CLA 2001-11-28 17:00:32 EST
Workbench does not have API to either set the perspective input or set the 
label. There are few things to think about before adding any of these APIs:

   1 - Once the input is changed what should happen with the other views such 
as Navigator and Packages view? Should they change their input and "focus" on 
something else as well?
   2 - When opening a new hierarqui perspective all views and editors are in 
sync, should it be kept in sync?
   3 - What about opening another perspective instead of trying to change the 
context of the first one? In VAJ you could not change the class in a hierarchy 
browser.
   4- Should the perspective be always in sync or should we just change the 
title and over look the other problems.

I am not a fan of providing explicit API to allow plugins to set the window 
title. There is however, a plan item to support working sets and the current 
working set would need to be identified in some way to the user. Could you 
imagine using this approach instead? 
Comment 5 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2002-01-23 11:01:30 EST
working set approach seems to be ok to me. If I understood right, by changing 
the working set, it is asked for it's label again?
