Bug 518009

Description Pierre-Charles David 2017-06-08 10:21:49 EDT

Currently, in the aird editor's graphical block, disabled viewpoints appear in grey (when they are not filtered). However the elements inside them (representation types and representation instances) are in "normal" style.

This was an explicit choice, as even if the viewpoint is disabled we allow users to create new representations and open existing ones directly (Sirius will simply enable the required viewpoint automatically in this case). However, after seeing it in action, it looks rather inconsistent graphicaly, and make it more difficult to see the full side-effect of automatic viewpoint enablement (especially when viewpoints are filtered!). In addition, it is also inconsistent with the "Model Explorer", where representations types/instances from disabled viewpoint are simply not visible.

We should probably make these elements look disabled graphically, as their parent viewpoint is. It's still inconsistent, in a different way, because normally disabled elements are not "actionable", but it seems the least wrong alternative (unless another one is found).
