RE: [geclipse-dev] Default file system mounts

["Harald Kornmayer" <harald.kornmayer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi all

 

I don't see a reason to do this now. Why should we do it. A user starts with a project and will set the mounts once at the beginning. Okay it is some work, but done only once.

 

Before implementing potential new features, I would recommend to make the current implementations of the filesystems more mature. See the comments from Ariel this morning about SRM. I would like to see the grid stuff working and used by someone constantly. This is somehow a "side show". 

 

I see other issues more important to make the life of the user easier. I.e. import of VO settings.

Subject: [geclipse-dev] Default file system mounts

Hi All,

 

I am currently thinking about providing some default mounts within g-Eclipse. These could be

 

-          The root of the local file system, i.e. “/” (which works also on windows and refers to C:/)

-          The home directory of the user (which is available as a java property)

-          The workspaces location

-          …  

 

It is often user-unfriendly that when using for instance the GridFileDialog the user has to mount local stuff by hand. Therefore I think this would be a nice feature. Any comments on that?

 

Cheers, Mathias
