Hey,

I just installed the latest eclipse instance with the Oomph. It's very nice!

I also recorded some preference changes that go by default to user. As I defined a workspace name on (General -> Workspace -> Workspace name) I wasn't able to set the target of this recording to the installation space easily. I had to set the record into value to installation (Oomph -> Setup Tasks -> Preference Record>, record the workspace name and change back the record into back to user.

Is there a way being able to select for every single property value the scope (user, installation, workspace) on the Oomph Preference Recorder window that is shown for the confirmation? I wasn't able to find something on the web about the feature.

Regards,

Kon

No, the recording target can only be set for the recorder in general (that is a workspace-level setting), but not (yet?)
per preference.

For the workspace name preference I have the following task in my user.setup:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:PreferenceTask
xmi:version="2.0"
xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
key="/instance/org.eclipse.ui.ide/WORKSPACE_NAME"
value="${installation.location|lastSegment|allcap}"/>

That automatically names all my workspaces according to their installation folder name.

Hey Eike,

thank you for the tip. Do you think this feature makes sense? Should I create a feature request?

Best regards,

Kon

Personally I have the vague feeling that it would be too much of a choice for the majority of users, so I guess a deeper
discussion would be required.

If, in the end, it turns out to be a useful feature it's already clear that it would be a lot of effort to implement it,
possibly with a deep impact on the existing file formats.

> Should I create a feature request?
Yes, please. Even if it won't be implemented immediately we can use the bugzilla to discuss pros and cons.
