Description Nick Edgar CLA 2005-03-22 09:47:44 EST 
build I20050315

In the References, Declarations submenus, the Working Set... menu item often
appears intermingled with the MRU working set items.  It should appear after
them, at the end of the menu, for consistent positioning that leverages the
user's motor memory.

The Working Set... currently appears before the MRU list. The three entries on
top of Working Set... aren't working sets. However, the user might not know the
difference.

We show the filter... in the package explorer's view menu at the end as well.
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2005-03-23 12:04:06 EST 
I would suggest to add a separator after 'hierarchy', then the working set
instances and then 'working set...' at the end. Dirk?

Right.  "Duh" on my part.

I think a separator to delimit the working set section would help.
However, I still think the 'Working Set...' item should go at the end, since
when I'm scanning it's like: "Is the one I want I want in the short list?  No,
then choose Working Set...".  Putting at the end would be consistent with other
places (New, Show View, Open Perspective).
Comment 5 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2005-03-23 13:16:16 EST 
+1 for the separator and Working Set... at the end.

Sorry, I see now that's exactly what you were proposing.
+1.
