Re: [platform-ui-dev] Go to closed project?

["Daniel Megert" <daniel_megert@xxxxxxxxxx>]

-1 to remove the 'Go To' actions. Just
because some people didn't know about them doesn't mean they are not used.

+1 to investigate whether we can also
show folders and projects in the 'Open Resource' dialog. Lars, please file
the bug report and post it here.

Sounds like we could remove this option, if it would be possible in
the "Open Resource" dialog to define folders and projects and
select
"Show-in". If you do not disagree with that, I open a bug for
the
enhancement of "Open Resource".
