| Is it a way to import links to files into a folder ? [message #804595] |

Hi,
I am creating projects which were existing before but managed in an other way than Eclipse.
So I have the list of files for each folder to fill with links to the files (the files remain on the network, most managed with SVN others not).
The operation to create a link to a file needs an average of ten clicks and searches to be created. I have to import link to near 5,000 files...
I have or can easily have the data of the link into a file.
Is-it a way to import links from a file ? I have not found how to do it ?
Thanks
Best regards
Trebly

Link the parent folder(s) instead of the individual files?

Hi,
I have done this for the whole projects and folders.
Why I can't link folders : because I pick only the concerned files into the folders (sometimes 1 or 2 on 100). A project folder contains link to files which are coming from different folders. The lists that I have are the concerned files for the review and upgrade of a problem, a sub-project.
In fact, may be it is a problem of organization of which I have not yet the know how with ECLIPSE, I have into an important project well known, sub-projects concerning bugs or enhancements (50).
Some details of organization
Each bug or enhancement must be followed and brought over main versions (4 ones) and concerns various files picked into the files structures (5000 x 4). Sometimes I add files and I manage too a description of program structure with links to notes and todo. So it is necessary to edit the file from a structure which makes easy the whole check and upgrades (from one main change I often upgrade 4 versions, I have 500 x4 files to upgrade with 5,000 changes) concerning 50 sub-projects. After upgrade and test, I generate branches in main experimental repository. For each sub-project the update from these branches are the source to update the main ones (4 mains : LTS, Current distribution as optional patch, trunk of new current as upgrade, new main release). For all they are sometimes concurrent SVN upgrades and conflicts to solve.
For this I create structured project with links to files which are into the SVN local server repositories ( working copies, not the mains) then import the upgraded ones to branches and they are after new test, with conflict solving on last version, used to upgrade (commit) to mains.
Thanks for your help.
Do you have any suggestion : may be to create multiple trees with references on concerned files while the whole project is imported linked (done). I tried to create mini-project with file-references to the mains imported (links), I could not find an easy way to pick up the files, the windows (I uses win7 x64)explorer seems more efficient for this because of the great number of files
For the moment, I pick quickly with windows explorer - files names masks - than with Eclipse project explorer for the main project (open, search, pick, close....) may be organizing the pick up with drag and drop from several Eclipse project explorers opened at different points (node : I don't know how to do this.
Best regards

Hi,
Because when somebody suggest me something to do, may be I am more persevere, I ran import and look to all options, this gave results :
- Use of drag and drop from windows explorer : I opened some explorer and pick the files by drag and drop (option link), it is much more quicker than add file...
- Suggest of enhancement in "Eclipse import" : replace the filter on extension by a chain of mask as "*.php; *mail*.tpl *_mail.js;...;" this would solve 70% of my problem
- Other suggest : As for "for" in windows batch define "files which contains list of files" as source of files. Optional substitution path and option to create subfolders or flat import into import to folder
I have divided by four the estimated need time, if I could use import copy or link (as option) from list of file it becomes tenth or twenty times faster to do my job.
Best regards
Thanks

Have you looked into the Mylyn plugin? It allows you to create tasks
and associate project resources with the tasks. You can even save the
tasks/contexts into SCM tools that have an adaptor. Mylyn will
automatically associate files opened/browsed with the task so it doesn't
get into your way. You can add/remove files to the context as necessary.
Check out the Mylyn documentation in the online Eclipse documentation or
add the plugin and view the documentation from the Help menu.

Hi,
Thanks to have red my long text.
First I test Mylyn with MantisBT connector : I got a bug we are looking at
After I began to use Mylyn Text : So I have created wikipages for several purposes and structure them in Eclipse project in a typical structure of folders (a structures guide) because there is not Wiki.
To have a wiki (with GPL or EPL) there are two solutions
* Dokuwiki linked to MantisBT, very insecure for the moment. This solution don't offers a direct link from Eclipse projects it can build a wiki on tasks. So specifications of functions can't be linked to ressources ... this an "Hydre" with two heads. The good solution should be to be able to create directly DocuWiki or other wiki pages as a ressources of Eclipse projects. The wiki structure being linked by ref into projects and on various ressources.
* Trac, the lonely problem is that I should use it as an end user. And for the moment I have not been completely successful in installation
* Another way can be the relations : The actual problem is that we can't set relations between ref or marks into many types of files even the resource is software as *.tpl files (Smarty), The links are global between resources, except task which are linked to lines of soft. Too I have not found how a task could be linked to several lines of soft.
For TPL I have not found a way to activate "create task on a line", if we want to link a task I found that we can open the source as PHP, it is an heavy way.
It could be perfect to create relations between task and lines of a Wiki page (Textile for example on hx. particularly). So we could easily find for a task all the text that must be applied to do it efficiently. (Take a task and pick into wiki pages what is related to...)
I follow all way that I find, I am going to ask here a question about Mylyn and the right menu on various types of files (we have the create task for php, js, java, css etc... but not for wikitext nor for simple txt files, TPL (Smarty) etc...b
So I have not yet got my integrated system.
let's go on, in features installation and the way to use for my way of work.
Best regards
