Description Marvin Fröhlich

Build Identifier: 20090920-1017

The problems view is a wonderful tool to more or less quickly eliminate problems. But sometimes it could be quicker.

Some days ago I made my compiler warnmings settings more strict and hence I got 1000 warnings.

It would be great, if I could simply mark a number of entries in the problems view and tell it to apply a quick fix to them all.

And it would be great, if I could mark one entry, select to apply the quickfix and this would automatically (1) apply the quick fix, (2) actually apply "add all missing tags" or what every is the first suggestion and (3) save the file. The problem view's focus should then be set to the entry, that is now at the previously selected position. I only have two hands and don'T want to switch from keyboard to mouse all the time.

Reproducible: Always

This is already possible for some warnings such as warnings about non-externalized strings.

See Bug 252587 Comment #9.

The pre 3.4 version of Problems view enabled quickfix for multiple selections. I see why this may have been avoided intentionally in the newer versions of the view.

At least if all the selected entries denote the same warning, quickifx should be available for a multi-selection.

This should be ideally handled by multi-fix, I suggest a new bug. I guess this would happen on a case-by-case basis (maybe on the same bug). Some problems are covered already, for example  Bug 252939 talks about making "Add @SuppressWarnings 'unused' to ..." a multi-fix.
