What if the input is from different target?

I actually tested this case. We sell configurable processors, it's pretty common to see different register sets on different processors.

This actually means that if you
expand you register tree once you will get it expanded for all targets.

Yes, that's what it does. You will see If you have opened a register set on one target and switch to a target that has a register set of the same name then it will be open on the new target. Better or worse than always closing them? Our folks think better.

Eclipse should (I think) offer debug UI configuration per launch configuration. If I set up my register view a certain way, or if I have typed cerrtain values into a memory view then they should be that way when I launch that config again. That's the "right thing" but involves quite a bit more work.

 And
this preserves only the first level structure of the register tree.

As I read RegisterViewContentProvider, the register view is limited to 2 levels with the final level being nodes with no children.

It would be much easier to add a simple check button in the toolbar.

I don't understand. What does that do and how does it work?

Thanks!
