| [cdt-dev] Signs in Project explorer |
Hi all. I need to discuss some questions about $subj. You know, new project model UI design proposed specific sign "<>" in project view (really, in all viewslike Navigator, C/C++ view), to mark files and folders if they have their own resource configuration. It is already implemented. On the other hand, there is bug #161547, which requires, in particular, to mark files and folders excluded from build. It's implemented but not published yet. Reason: current look may confuse user, instead of help. Currently, resource configuration mark "<>" is displayed when at least one resource configuration exists. For example, if we created resource config for "Debug", not for "Release". The same logic is now applied to exclusion mark. So, if user excluded file "a.c" from "Debug" configuration, and "b.c" from "Release", both these files will be striked out. May be it would be better to display marks for active configuration only ? When user makes another configuration active, marks will be rewritten. It seems to be more suitable. But there's a problem with indexer, which can work with non-active config. So, we'll see not the same file set as indexer uses. But, anyway, current behaviour (show marks for ANY configuration) seems to be even worse. What's your opinion ? ----------------------------------- With best regards, Oleg Krasilnikov Software designer, Eclipse team. Intel corp. +7 8312 162 444 ext. 2587 (Russia, Nizhny Novgorod)
