SaveAll Action [message #512122]

Hello All,

In my application I need to customize behavior on SaveAll for my editors (EMF based). I tried to use my custom handler and use the extension point for command handlers. In my handler I can get other commands like Close or CloseAll to work but somehow the SaveAll does not work. The isEnabled() method gets called but the infrastructure does not call execute() for my handler.

It simply gets list of dirty parts through the SaveAll action and calls the doSave() of each of dirty editors. Is there a way to have custom behavior for the SaveAll operation.

Thanks for your help

Regards,
Anand

Anand,

I am not sure if this will work, but you might try setting the save all handler in a plugin ui activator. I would try something like the following snippet of code in the start() method of a plugin activator:

ICommandService service = (ICommandService) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(ICommandService.class);
Command saveall = service.getCommand("org.eclipse.ui.file.saveAll");
saveall.setHandler(handler);

Good luck,
Rollie

Yeah, that's not a good idea ... any change in the global application
state can cause your handler to be replaced by the real one.

You are creating and setting the SaveAll action in your
ApplicationActionBarAdvisor, when you use
org.eclipse.ui.actions.ActionFactory.SAVE_ALL

If you want to replace that with your own action, just don't use that one.

Anand,

If you just need to perform some processing before the SAVE-ALL command is executed, you can hookup up an execution listener to the command service using the following code:

ICommandService service = (ICommandService) PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(ICommandService.class);
service.addExecutionListener(executionListener);

Make sure your execution listener implements IExecutionListener, and then place your code in the preExecute method. Be sure to check the command ID for "org.eclipse.ui.file.saveAll" to ensure that the command about to execute is the save-all command. This should give you a hook into save-all without overriding the Eclipse save-all handler.

Hope this helps,
Rollie
