Re: [platform-help-dev] Synchronize Navigation Button

Correction: feature 13464 was done in 2.1, in milestone M1, not in 2.0 as
mentioned below.

Steve,

The feedback so far indicates that people really like the synchronize
feature. They want the button to be more visible, otherwise it takes them a
little while to discover this function.
Synchronization is relatively expansive, especially when having to
synchronize topics from a TOC that is not currently opened. There is
support for auto-synchronization, but authors must enable that in their
content pages. See feature
http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=13464 that is already available
in 2.0.

Hello,

One of my colleagues has shown an interest in the Synchronize Navigation
button within the Eclipse Help system recently.  He asked me to pose the
following question to the mailing list for discussion:

"Synchronize Navigation:  Do you have any feedback from users as to how
useful or usable they find the synchronize navigation button?"

Will the behaviour of navigation synchronization be the same in future
releases of the help system as it is now?  Are there any plans to automate
the synchronization of the navigation tree when following links between
topics?

Thanks for any comments you may have on this issue.

Best wishes,


Steve
