Why dont you put something for configure the minChars of CTabFolder? I dont like to see parcial names of the classes on the workbench, and anytime i download a new version i need to recompile CTabFolder in order to put minChars=100. I think that something like this will be enough. try { minChars=Integer.parseInt(System.getProperty("swt.CTabFolder.minChars","10")); } catch (Exception e) { minChars=10; } thanks. javi.
What about CTabFolder#setMinimumCharacters()? Ben
API has existed to do this in CTabFolder since 3.0. /** * Sets the minimum number of characters that will * be displayed in a fully compressed tab. * * @param count the minimum number of characters that will be displayed in a fully compressed tab * * @exception SWTException <ul> * <li>ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed</li> * <li>ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver</li> * <li>ERROR_INVALID_RANGE - if the count is less than zero</li> * </ul> * * @since 3.0 */ public void setMinimumCharacters(int count) Perhaps you are requesting the ability to set this value through the Eclipse preference page. This used to be supported but it seems to have been removed. Moving to the UI team for comment.
Ok, the ability to set this value through the Eclipse preference page sounds much better, but i conform with any method diferent that recompile your code (overcoat in case you change the way of do it, as i notice between 3M3 and 301). thanks javi.
See Bug 32789.
Ok. controling the width of the tab in the file: ..../eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.0/plugin_customization.ini adding a line as: org.eclipse.ui/EDITOR_MINIMUM_CHARACTERS=80 is not a bad form of make it. But please don't change it. Before, (in 3M3) I added the line EDITOR_TAB_WIDTH=500 in /eclipse/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/pref_store.ini and suddenly (in 301) it stopped working. thank you. (any way, the ability to set this value through the Eclipse preference page sounds much better)
There are currently no plans to work on this feature. PW

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.
