RE: [mylar-dev] reopening editors on task activation and editormanagemen

["Mik Kersten" <beatmik@xxxxxxx>]

Regarding an option to suppress the automatic opening of files with external
editors, this has been reported and scheduled for 0.4.7:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118151

The idea behind the editor management is that you never have to manually
manage the list of open editors, and that the open editors correspond to
what's interesting.  I find that this works well for my work practice (go
through several tasks each day), but it sounds like we need to make it more
configurable.  How do you end up with 20 open editors?  If you deactivate a
task, and set the number of editors on the Mylar prefs page to automatically
open to 1 (i.e. just the last one), then does this address the issue?  We
could make a bunch of separate options (e.g. automatically map close to make
less interesting, automatically close editors on deactivation) but it would
be good to get a better understanding of the common usages so that the
options don't bloat.
