[Dltk-dev] the most (by far!) annoying "feature" of eclipse plugins...

["Johan Compagner" <jcompagner@xxxxxxxxx>]

That is that very very annoying behavior of that everything is lazy..
this really bugs me sooo much..

For example the:

ShowFunctionsAction

That is a menu item in the Debug Variable view that when it initializes adds a filter to the variable view.
By default i want that to be disables i dont want to show the functions.

But this is just impossible. Because only the init() or run() of that Action will add itself to the Variables view as a filter
But that is only triggered when the action is really clicked on...So the filter is only added by a user action..

This is also ofcourse a problem for the show globals/locals/class menu items but for this the ui is just not correct but the preference value does work
But for the ShowFunctions is worse because here it really only works when manually triggered

Eclipse should really change this behavior in my opinion, Toggle state actions should always be loaded when the are shown (this will still not help ShowFunctions)
Is there another way to contribute a Filter to a Variable view? That is loaded when the variableview initializes?
