Description Jesse Glick 2005-12-20 01:31:35 UTC 
With an XML layer file open, should be able to get a Navigator view of every
folder and file, e.g.

Menu/
Menu/File/
Menu/File/foo.instance

Sorry. I am not able to understand what this enhancement is saying. Can you 
please explain a little bit more? Then I may be able to corelate what is asked 
for in issue # 104868 (marked duplicate of this) and what is covered here.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2007-05-25 18:51:12 UTC 
The Navigator window should display an outline when you have a layer file open,
which should perhaps replace the subnodes, or offer analogous functionality; and
you should be able to jump to source locations from these nodes. Precise
appearance & behavior TBD and likely at the mercy of consistency with e.g.
*.java and Ant scripts.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2008-11-10 22:20:03 UTC 
We are deemphasizing source layers as annotations are created. Also you can jump to a layer entry using the Projects tab
tree.
