Hi Charles,
We have listed some none-homogeneous behavior that lead to bugs.
For example, today when a view point is deactivated:
- all diagrams remain in the welcome page but are hidden in the model explorer. It is not normal.
- all diagrams that are listed in the deactivated view point still opened, if they have opened before the switch.
- an error icon is displayed for all opened diagrams that are not listed in activated viewpoints. It gives the impression
that there is a bug.
..
These bugs appear for a model designer or “model user”.
Do not be afraid, all models will not be impacted, and change in API if they exist will be minor. We follow strictly
API management.
If a change is proposed and breaks API, the change is rejected.
Here these are minor changes in the behavior, not major changes that is not acceptable for a minor release.
If we do a major API change (papyrus 5.0) , I will announce 6 months before. You can already see for example potential
changes for a 5.0 : https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&columnlist=product%2Ccomponent%2Cbug_severity%2Cassigned_to%2Cbug_status%2Cresolution%2Cshort_desc%2Cchangeddate&list_id=18917977&product=Papyrus&query_format=advanced&target_milestone=5.0.0.
I hope that I address your concerns.
Best Regards,

Objet : Re: [mdt-papyrus.dev] About deactivation of viewpoinst inside Papyrus
Hi Patrick,
I am not sure as to what the issue is from the description below.
How would this issue appear to a designer/toolsmith? To a user? What would be the impact observed in the model?
How will this affect current Papyrus-based DSML’s? Current models?
Thank you for your continued support and improvement of Papyrus!
We noticed inconsistencies when deactivating a viewpoint in a given context. Activation is not a problem.
We propose the specification of the behavior of a deactivation of a viewpoint for the next release of papyrus.
Warning, this is not a specification of a context switch inside architecture framework. It is much more complex and impacting and need also to be specified.
If you have comments, they are welcome.
