Description Raffi Khatchadourian

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

When an elements' interestingness increases, it's not automatically in full force to the context. That is, it first starts off grayed, then full color, then bold, and finally a landmark. Decreasing an elements interestingness should work in the reverse way. That is, there should be levels of decreasing interested before it is ultimately removed from the context. Right now, by using the method org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.context.core.InteractionContextManager.manipulateInterestForElementHelper(IInteractionElement, boolean, boolean, boolean, String, IInteractionContext, Set<IInteractionElement>, AbstractContextStructureBridge, boolean) and setting the increase parameter to false (i.e., decrease interestingness), the element is removed from the context on the first shot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.context.core.InteractionContextManager.manipulateInterestForElementHelper(IInteractionElement, boolean, boolean, boolean, String, IInteractionContext, Set<IInteractionElement>, AbstractContextStructureBridge, boolean) and set the increase parameter to false.
2. Element is immediately removed from the context.

Thanks for the request. This makes sense to me. As far as I understand, you are asking for an API level enhancement to the framework and not a UI affordance?

Right, it would be an API-level enhancement, though, I don't think the API should change, just the internals.
