FolderLayout / PartStack stay open in compatibility mode [message #1269055]

I am running an 3.X application in Luna with compat mode and having a issue with a FolderLayout.
The folder is initially empty and parts can be open and closed in it. When starting the app the whole folder is missing (another view takes all the space). When I open one part it the folder gets visible. When the last part is closed, the folder gets invisble again.
In 3.x this worked fine, the folder was open on start up and stayed open all the time.
It basically should work like the editor stack but with viewparts.

In E4 the noautocollaps tag does exactly this. But how can I achieve this in compat mode?

Thanks,
Matthias

You are talking about the durable attribute? IIRC this not worked in
reliable in 3.x either but was damn easy to get working in e4.

Maybe the compat layer does not set the tag appropriately?

Yes, in 3.x one did override the isDurableFolder Method in the WorkbenchWindowAdviser. Strangely this wasn't done in our application (3.2) but did work correctly. However this also does not work when in compat mode. The method does not seem to be called from anywhere in the Luna org.eclipse.ui.workbench bundle.

I just tried to create the stack with visible=true in the ModeledPageLayout, so the stack is visble from the start. But I noticed that the views are opened in a new folder and not the existing one. The folder has a placeholder with a wildcard '*'.

Then I think you should file a bug against Platform/UI to respect the
setting!
