Saving diagram drawn on the GMF Editor [message #758207]

Hi All,

Is it possible to save the diagram which is drawn on the GMF Editor ?

Like If I draw some diagram on GMF Editor, When I open it next time I should be able to retrieve the diagram... This would save a lot of time from creating a diagram which is similar to my previous diagram.

Regards,
Vinay

Of course the editor saves and lets you reload what you saved.

Vinay,

You just forgot to hit the Save button! I think GMF is all about displaying data and persisting data, if it is not capable of persisting data, then there is no purpose for such a framework.

Hi Hoang,

I have hit the save button but we have implemented some logic for our application because of that we are not able to retain the diagram.

Is it possible to have a Project Explorer window where we could save all the diagrams created. Now we are having a property window similarly having another window called Project Explorer which will have all the diagrams saved.

Vinay,

The generated editor supports File->Save.

Vinay,

It's disabled until you make the first change.

Vinay,

This just works out of the box, so you've changed something, right? You
checked what's going on with isDirty?

Hi Ed Merks,

I was asking about saving the previous diagram, But Is it possible to save all the diagrams, Like I draw different diagrams whenever I open a GMF Editor, So When I open it next time, Is it possible to retain the diagram which I have drawn 1st. Like saving it in hard disk.

Regards,
Vinay

Vinay,

You seem to be repeating yourself. If you open your generated editor
and hit Ctrl-O twice, you should be able to find the isDirty method.
Every thing a command is executed the editor should test this state again...

Hi,

I am able to find isDirty() method in DiagramDocumentEditor class which is being extended by xxxDiagramEditor.java file, But since it is not present in xxxDiagramEditor.java file,So the Save and Save All will be enabled, But Save As...is still disabled.

Vinay
