Hi,
Is there a way to manually force a 'dirty' state in a given editor / command stack
instance, i.e., so that the file can be Saved by the user? When I create a bookmark for a
graphical application (the marker is associated with a GEF AbstractEditPart), I need to
maintain the marker ID in the model. However, creating the marker does not cause the
resource to show 'modified' (i.e., w/asterisk). I've tried doing
EditorPart.firePropertyChange( IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY ) in the editor as well as
firePropertyChange() in the EditPart's model instance. Neither works. Any thoughts
appreciated.
thanks,
Ron

I don't know this API, but to it sounds as if the methods You have been

called AFTER the change has already happened and not to make it happen.
When the editor has changed tell everybody that wants to know this by
calling
firePropertyChange(...).
I suggest you look for a method that marks the edited file as dirty, or if
you cannot find that
just try to substitute one character in the file with the same character.
This will effectively not change
the file content, but could make the editor think that it's dirty.
Just my 0.02 worth.
