Re: [platform-ui-dev] Editors view feature or defect (?)
|
So, what is the difference betwenn the editors view history and the
CTRL+F6? If there is not diff, why do we need it?
The other requestion is about refresh. Should it always be in synch with
the opened editors? Why would the user ever need to refresh?
Eduardo.

Subject: Re: [platform-ui-dev] Editors view feature or defect (?)
The history in the editor list view is currently implemented as a circular
linked list. I've been planning to revisit the history mechanism,
primarily
to remove the circularity.
If you open editor A, then editor B, clicking the <- or -> should just
toggle
you between the two editors. If it doesn't, it's a bug. You can file it
(append to Bug 10941) with a test case if you like. At the very least, it
could help me not recreate the bug when I rewrite the history.
Important note: The version of the EditorList I uploaded today has a bug
that
I introduced while refactoring (doh!). The bug will generate an NPE every
time you open an editor if there are no editors open when you open the
view.
I have a fix for the problem in hand and I'll be uploading a new version
of
the editor list once I finish testing.
Thanks,
- Jared
