Find if a file is dirty [message #151915]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to find if the IFile I am dealing with is dirty
(currently open in an editor and the contents have been modified) ? I have
to consider the possibility of multiple workbench windows and multiple pages
within these windows. The IWorkbench.saveAllEditors() method considers all
the files in the workbench and does not serve my purpose.

Thanks,
Sudarshan

Omry,

Smart way of proving your ignorance ;-)

Wouldn't something like this work?

public boolean isFileDirty(IFile f) {
IWorkbenchWindow[] wbWindows =
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getWorkbenchWindows();
for (each window) {
IWorkbenchPage activePage wbWindow.getActivePage();
IEditorReferences[] editorRefs = activePage.getEditorReferences();
for (each editor reference) {
if (editorRef.isDirty() &&
editorRef instanceof IFileEditorInput &&
editorRef.getFile().equals(f) &&
return true;
}
}
return false;
}

I left out required casts, assignments, etc. I haven't tested this but it's
basically all copied code. BTW, you don't have to consider multiple pages
for each window since there is only one editor reference set for all
perspectives within a given window.

Dan,
Thats what I finally did. I was looking for a simple method like
saveDirtyEditor(IFile) which will save a file if it is dirty. Since there
was no such method., I implemented it in my plugin using a logic similar to
yours.

Thanks,
Sudarshan
