Hi.
Can someone explain exactly what's the purpouse of a durable folder
layout ? I mean when WorkbenchWindowAdvisor.isDurableFolder returns true
for a certain perspective/folder id combination, what should I expect to
see on the UI ?
I tried to use that method in the hope that a view stack folder remains
visible even when empty, but that doesn't seems to be the meaning of
that flag despite the javadoc description.

FYI, the durable flag works as described but only when the perspective
is reset or created for the first time. After a restart the flag is
lost, I have opened a bug for it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=345050
I would like to write a patch to fix it, I managed to save and restore
the flag settings, however at startup, if the folder is empty it is
still invisible.
Can someone give me a hint about where the code makes the folders
visible/invisible at startup ?
Regards,
Marco.
