Re: Rdi LPEX editor (workspace?)

Brian,

Just to let you know (and if anyone else cares)
I finally got the behavior I was looking for in 9.8.

All of my previous attempts was while in the Remote System Explorer persepctive. When I was working today on some screens in DDS Design perspective I by accident noticed the behavior 'returned'. After having a few groups, I was able to switch back over to the Remote System Explorer and continue to use the functionality in that perspective.... So I guess to 'start off' you need to be in another perspective.

If I understand you correctly, Shane: I can see what your problem is but I cannot suggest a solution. From my cursory investigation I don't think there is a setting within the Preferences. I think it might be a change in the way the underlying Eclipse platform works.

But first, it might be helpful to clarify terminology.

"Workspace" is a term used in RDi to mean something different. Your "workspace" is a manipulation of the LPEX Editor panel. Fascinating that you "drag and drop" instead of "double-clicking" to open a Source Member for edit. (Just a different way of working.)

When you say "source files" I think you mean "source members" within a Source File. (Or do you have a separate Source File for each program source code?) I cannot drag/drop an entire Source File - but I can drag/drop a group of selected Source Members.

Your "subgroups" are in fact multiple side-by-side Views in LPEX, (instead of the default? single (stacked) View).

I don't see a way to have quite the same behaviour in 9.8 as in 9.6. I can only suggest that once you've open the Source Member, (albeit in the wrong View) you simple drag the Tab to the desired View. Not a solution, but a workaround that may help?

Question: How do you get separate "subgroups" in 9.6 in the first place without dragging an existing Tab to create a new View? Am I missing a trick?

HTH,
Brian.

Hi,

I've been working with Rdi 9.6 for a while now, and am setting up a new laptop that has RDi 9.8 on it.

I've encountered a difference that I'm hoping is a setting, but I can't seem to find what or where it might be.
It's kind of hard to explain without showing, so I've put some links to images of the two workspaces to help explain.

In 9.6 I have a single workspace (if that is the right terminology),
that I can add difference source files to. I can drag them and create
different subgroups within that single workspace to group related
source files, and when I open a new source, it always adds to the
group I currently have active. Which is helpful for when working
through a group of related programs

In 9.8 however I can't seem to get the source files to into subgroups. I can drag them out and create what appears to be new 'workspaces' which is close to the same functionality. However, whenever I open a new source file, instead of going to my active group, it instead opens up over in the original workspace (1).

Any ideas on how to restore that same setup in 9.8?

Thanks

Monthly posting of the guidelines for participation in the Websphere Development Studio Client and Rational Developer for i mailing list.

Keep to the subject. The topic of the list is IBM's Rational Developer for Power Systems, Rational Developer for i, and Websphere Development Studio Client. This includes all aspects of RDp / RDi / WDSCi.
Including, but not limited to: RSE, LPEX, Compiling, Verification, and CODE/400.

NOTE: EGL, Java, and Web development topics are better served in the lists specific to those topics.

Limited discussion of third party plug-in's is also allowed. It is, however, recommend that questions about third party (non-IBM), non-open source, plug-in's be directed to the vendor's technical support group.

Please be aware ... a number of IBM employees monitor this mailing list and will offer help when possible. Please keep in mind that the IBM'ers participate in this list on their spare time and so may not be able to respond promptly if at all.

When starting a new discussion thread, *PLEASE* try to avoid replying to an existing message to get the correct email address. When you reply to an existing message, most email clients and the list archiving software think that the new thread is part of the old thread, and will display it as such.

When quoting messages, do not quote the entire message. Just quote the parts that are needed to make the appropriate references.

Flames are absolutely prohibited. If you disagree with someone, feel free to argue the facts, but no personal attacks will be tolerated.

The official language of the Midrange Systems Mailing List is English.

Do not post personal messages. Please use direct E-Mail. This list is international in scope and personal messages just end up costing money.
