Switch off remembering last opened editor [message #326964] Thu, 03 April 2008 13:42 Go to next message

Hello,

I have a problem with the opening of editors. I have two editors. One just
on just an object while the other is basically an editor which shows the
differences between two selected objects.

The problem I have is when I select two objects and open it with the
Diffing editor, The diffing editor is associated with that object. The
next time I double click on a single object, It tries to open the diffing
editor since the last open the diffing editor. I will have to again open
the actual editor using "open with" context menu. But, I want the basic
editor to open every time I double click and the diffing editor should
open only when I seect two objects and use "Open with" context menu.

Can someone let me know if I can switch off Eclipse's feature of
remembering the lsat opened editor on the object.I guess this could solve
my problem.

Thanks in advance,
Wishwas.

No, there is no way to do it right now. I requested such a feature
almost a year ago, but it has received no attention:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=184747
Perhaps if you add your own comments and/or vote for that bug, it might
get fixed in 3.4.x or 3.5...

What kind of editor input do you use for your diffing editor? A
CompareEditorInput returns null for getPersistable(), so if you are
already using that it won't help.

It is a FileEditorInput.
