Description Mike Dundee

Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

Currently working sets are specified independently in "Project Explorer", "Open Type" dialog and "Open Resource" dialog (and maybe anywhere else?).
It would be convenient to have an option to be able to change it globally (i.e. if I change working set in "Project Explorer" I would like it to be reflected in both dialogs as well)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some Working Set in "Project Explorer"
2. Show "Open Type" or "Open Resource" dialog and check that Working Set in these dialogs doesn't match with Working Set in "Project Explorer"

There are no plans to do this. You can select the 'Window Working Sets' in all the views and dialogs and then only modify the window working set per workbench window.

Oh, I didn't know this :) 

Note that you also have to customize the perspective and make sure the command groups "window working set" and "Working set manipulation" are checked (see also http://blog.empiregpservices.com/post.cfm/eclipse-window-working-sets)
