I have two platforms defined in my IDE (JDK1.4.2 and JDK1.5) and it is not possible to which item in go to class dialog belongs to which platform. Since the scenario is not quite commom my idea is to add tooltip showing source location (file path or URL) that can activate only if I move mouse over the item.
Changing subcomponent to navigation.
I consider this a serious usability problem, and I run into it constantly. A tooltip is not enough IMHO - not KB-accessible. The dialog should have a text field in which it displays the full path to the selected file (i.e. FileUtil.getFileDisplayName).
Tooltips added as a "hotfix" solution for 4.1. Checking in NbJMIResultItem.java; /cvs/java/editor/src/org/netbeans/modules/editor/java/NbJMIResultItem.java,v <-- NbJMIResultItem.java new revision: 1.8; previous revision: 1.7 done Reassigning to Ruda to find a better UI solution for the next releases.
Yes, a tooltip isn't the right solution for that. There should be maybe a static text field between the text area and the settings checkboxes.
Please don't use the LATER resolution flag. The meaning is undefined and since the issue appears to be in the RESOLVED state, it often falls through the cracks. Mark it as FIXED, change to ENHANCEMENT, lower the priority, ... just don't use LATER and REMIND. Thanks.
Rudo, if you think that the issue is resolved from your side please reassign it back to editor developers (IMHO using "Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent" should work just fine). Thanks.
Created attachment 21689 [details] Patch to fix the problem
I made up a patch; please consider applying it. Only took an hour or so. Changes: 1. Adds "Location" field which simply displays the same thing as the tooltip. 2. Changes tooltip to show only the source root, not the complete file path - you can already see the class name and package in the list.
There's still (as of the latest nightly build of 4.2) no information on which project a class in the GoToClass dialog (Alt+Shift-O) is coming from. I often have multiple projects with many similar or same classes, and there's no way to tell which class comes from which project by looking at the class names in GoToClass dialog. Dmitri
It's been three weeks, can the patch be evaluated?
Can somebody evaluate the patch for Jesse? Thanks.
I guess not... I will attach an updated patch. (Original no longer applied cleanly.) I guess I'll just apply it if no one cares to review it first.
