Re: [platform-team-dev] File modification validator is not notified on s

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In general, external editor behavior
cannot be controlled from within Eclipse. In other words, validateEdit/Save
will not be called on save and the editor may choose to make a file writtable.
As for a button on the Eclipse toolbar initialting the save, I don't know
how these are wired together. It may be possible to perform the validateEdit
at that point, assuming that the button can actually determine which resource
is being edited. You may want to ask on the UI or Text mailing list about
that since they most likely provide the editor.

Subject	[platform-team-dev] File modification validator is not notified on save from OLE

Hello,

It appears that no methods on IFileModificationValidator are called in
case of a save by an editor
opened using OLE in the Eclipse shell (MS Word in particular). The interesting
thing is that the
platform is likely aware of a save operation being started because it can
be initiated by pressing a
button on the Eclipse's main toolbar. Is it a known problem or limitation?
Another negative
side-effect is that read-only flag is cleared upon save, at least in the
case of editing a doc file
with MS Word.

Thanks,
Vladimir.
