Re: [platform-ui-dev] Working sets on a workbench window
|
Is there any kind of notification (e.g. property change event) when it's
changed?
How would a view tracking this know to update?

[platform-ui-dev] Working sets on a workbench window
Next weeks integration build will introduce the following new API on
IWorkbenchPage:
IWorkingSet[] getWorkingSets();
void setWorkingSets(IWorkingSet[])
The intention of these methods is to allow you to specify what
working sets should be visible across all components within a given
workbench window. Currently this API is not being used by any
downstream component but we're making it public (and visible) now to
gauge interest.
By visible I am referring to a new action that's been added to the
Resource Navigation action set.
You will see in your toolbar and in your Window menu a pulldown
action called Working Sets. The children of this action represent
all working sets registered with the system IWorkingSetManager and
are either checked or unchecked. If they're checked, they're
contained in the array returned by IWorkbenchPage.getWorkingSets().
The notable problems with the implementation as it currently sits are
as follows:
The "Edit..." action currently opens the "Select Working Set"
dialog despite there being no selection required. We will replace
this with a more particular editing dialog at some later point.
The dropdown won't scale when the user has a large number of
working sets.
The action needs a toolbar icon.
The action probably doesn't belong in the Resource Navigation
action set.
Please don't log these bugs. We've already done so :)
