can't figure out filters in Problems view [message #257952]

From the Problems view, I went to the Filters view and created a new
filter called "Project Errors", currently it has the same definition as
the Default filter, i.e. On any element in the same Project, Where
severity is Error or Warning and Show items of All types.

Now, if I keep both the Default and Project Errors filters active
(checked) I see a certain numbers of errors and warnings. If I keep only
the Default filter active, I see the same set.

But if I deactivate Default and keep only Project Errors active, I see
*no* errors or warnings. That is, I am not able to get my custom filters
to work.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

The default setting for the "Default" Filter is to work on the Window
Working Set. It might be possible that the currently selected project (in
Navigator or Package Explorer ) does not have any errors or warnings. So
your filter by itself does not report any errors and warnings. However,
when enabled, "Default" filter reports errors from the entire workspace.

Ensure that the filter is configured as described by you - "On any element
in same project " - enable only this (custom) filter, now select a project
having errors, warnings - they should show up.

Hitesh,

Thanks for your response. I was pretty sure I had changed the definition
for default but once I Restored Defaults for both filters I saw the same
behavior in whichever was active.

I have finally narrowed it down to: if I choose "On any element in the
same project" for a custom filter (not Default) then no items are
displayed. But I can use any other setting (All elements, etc Working
Set containing root folder of this project) so I am set.

I could not reproduce the behaviour that you describe. Default or custom,
it is the same filter code eventually, the default filter is no different
from a custom filter. If you can actually reproduce this behaviour on
your system, please file a bug indicating the steps to do so.
