From the source code I see that the Save Action SaveComparisonModelAction is only enabled when both left and right sides are editable - I'm just wondering what the reason behind this is?

In our application we are looking at mechanisms for saving/exporting the comparison for test purposes, but at the moment we are configuring the Compare Editor with left and right sides in read-only mode.

Hi,

The comparison model has links towards the right and left model. We consider that if either of them is uneditable, there is a good chance that it is not reachable by regular means (model on a remote repository is the most frequent case). In such a case we do not want to save it as the user wouldn't be able to load it back.

You can contribute your own save action to have a different behavior if needed.

I guess we cannot remove the Save button (or others) easily, given the answer on this thread? - https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1079372/

Hi,

You are right, there is no way to remove the default save button for now (at least, not iirc). If you are interested and find a clean way of enabling this for users of the API, do not hesitate to patch it and raise an enhancement request with that patch attached, we'll gladly look into it.

Hi Laurent,

I have a patch for making the display of the Group, Filter and Save buttons in the toolbar configurable (via setting a property in the EMFCompareConfiguration which is read and used by CompareToolbar to populate the toolbar).

The case for this is that we would like to use org.eclipse.emf.compare.ide.ui plugin and specifically the EMFCompareStructureMergeViewer in our RCP application but want to remove the toolbar actions that have no relevance to our end-users.

I do not see an existing bugzilla entry for this - so I will raise one and attach the patch.

Many thanks.
Conor
