Create new representation that is unsynchronized by default [message #1651312]

Hi,

Is it possible to configure a Sirius editor such that new diagrams are initially unsynchronized?

I think the ecore editor does something like that. Even if you ecore model already contains a number of classes, creating a representation does start with an empty diagram and you have to drag classes into the diagram.

(Yes I looked in the settings but couldn't find it so far.)

Greetings,
Wilbert.

Hi Wilbert,

You should look at [1] and [2] in section Synchronization, "Not
Synchronized" mode in your mappings should be what you look for to have
diagram empty at beginning.

[1]
https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/user/diagrams/Diagrams.html#synchronized_diagram
[2] https://www.eclipse.org/sirius/doc/specifier/diagrams/Diagrams.html

Best Regards.

Hi Esteban,

Thanks for your reply. So to make it clear: I should specify that each nodemapping/containermapping is unsynchronized by default?

That also implies that something like configurable synchronization behavior is not provided.

OK, I can live with this.

Greetings,
Wilbert.

You could also specify mappings as "Unsynchronizable". Their
synchronization state will depend on the synchronization state of the
diagram. It can be modified by the user with a right-clic on the diagram
background with the Unsynchonized menu. The synchonized status of the
diagram will be initialized regarding the value of a preference form the
preferenc page Sirius > Sirius Diagram > Synchronized mode for new
diagrams.

I tried the preference setting and it does work but:.... it does not seem to be persisted over an eclipse restart?

Isn't that considered to be a bug?

Hi Wilbert,

Indeed you can raise a bugzilla.

Thanks.
