Description Ed Willink

I have been using com.abstratt.mdd.oss.repository-2.2.zip for a few years and was prompted by recent forum postings to give the GEF DOT View another try....

My QVTd builder produces a directory of *.dot and *.graphml files for viewing.

For com.abstratt.mdd.oss.repository-2.2.zip, it is sufficient to select the *.dot file in the Package Explorer to (sometimes very slowly) update the Image File Viewer.

In contrast the DOT Graph viewer requires a *.dot editor to be opened before each file can be viewed.

Please provide a "Link with selection" to avoid the need to open the DOT editor.

I pushed the following changes to the master branch:

[540600] DOT Graph View - Add 'Link with Selection' toggle button.

- Add the 'Link with Selection' toggle button to the DOT Graph View to
switch the selection snychronization on/off. If switched on, the DOT
Graph View will automatically update whenever there is a selection
change in the Package/Project Explorer.

I resolve this as fixed in 5.0.300 (2018-12).
