Hi Sean:
We included in the icons in the zip file. We
created a directory for them
called "org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui/icons/full/list".

Mike,
The Eclipse patch mechanism does not pick up GIFs
(don't ask me how I know this). Could you send me the new gifs you introduced
in a zip file? Thanks.

That looks very
sharp. Submit it and I will commit it.

Hi Sean:
Adding the browseType attribute
is fine with us.
one more thing (now that you are looking at this area)... the
Add, Remove, Move Up and Move Down buttons are always off the screen for the
File items. They are too far to the right, so the user always needs to
scroll over see the buttons. This is a minor point, but still a pain for
the end-user.
We changed this in our application to place the buttons at the top
of the file list (like a toolbar). Attached is a screen snapshot.
This approach is similar to how Windows handles File lists.
We use
these file list buttons for the include Directories, Symbols, Libraries, and
Other Options categories in the Build manager properties.
If you would like to use
this approach for the user interface, we can send you a patch.

Hi
Guys,
I just
wanted to bounce a couple of ideas off the people who are looking at, and
working on, the managed build system. First, there has been an endless stream
of requests to put a browse button on path or file options. Since an IOption
does not know what type of list it contains, I am proposing a new enumerated
attribute in the option schema called "browseType". It will contain "none",
"file", or "directory" so the UI can properly decide whether to display a
browse button or not. So far, the solution does not break existing manifest
definitions and the UI is working properly. I would like to know if anyone has
a problem with this solution or if it tramples on something you have already
done.
What
this does not solve is the problem where the SWT/JFace widgets answer the file
location or path location in the OS-appropriate format but the tools require
these specifications in a different format. For example, imagine a
cross-compiler hosted on Win32 not liking C:\foo\include, which is what we get
back from the browse dialog. This might require some further tweaking of the
toolchain model to get more information about the file system type the hosted
tools prefer to use. Notice how studiously I am avoiding the term "target
model" :-)
The
window to propose alternatives is small, so if you have any strong opinions on
this, please let me know asap.
