Description Jesse Glick 2001-11-27 12:48:40 UTC 
In addition to data loader display names, please show icons in the list's
labels, for quicker visual recognition.

Set target milestone to TBD

Comment 3 Marian Petras 2005-05-13 16:28:33 UTC 
This is hardly possible with the current API. I will not implement this
enhancement. I would rather implement one or both of the following enhancements:

   issue #30345 - "search filesystems" should restore type automatically
   issue #35256 - Specifying files to search in the Find in Files dialog

Marking as WONTFIX.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2005-05-14 22:22:41 UTC 
Fine though "This is hardly possible with the current API" is not true - if you
have a data loader you can simply call
Introspector.getBeanInfo(l.getClass()).getIcon(...).
Comment 5 Marian Petras 2005-05-16 14:49:58 UTC 
OK, I do not see the logic but I believe it is possible and not so hard because
object types displayed in the Options dialog (IDE Configuration | System |
Object Types) have icons displayed by their names.
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2005-05-16 17:33:33 UTC 
I think it should be quite easy, though I agree that issue #35256 would be much
more valuable anyway.
Comment 7 Marian Petras 2007-06-06 13:53:57 UTC 
Enhancement #35256 ("Specifying files to search in the Find in Files dialog")
was implemented as part of the Find dialogue redesign (see issue #35255) and
there is no Object Types search pane any more.

The first NetBeans milestone with the Find dialogue redesigned will be Milestone 10.

I mark this bug as INVALID as it does not make sense any more.
