Description Matthias Luebken CLA 2007-10-15 07:23:28 EDT 
If you select a plugin you should be able to determine all plugins that depend on the current selected plugin. Maybe as an radio button option "Show plugins that depend on the current plugin" or "Show plugins that the current plugin depends on".

Fix to displayed dependent bundles

First patch to allow the user to reverse the direction of dependency. Introduced another checkbox which displays the dependent bundles (i.e. the callers) of the current bundle when selected.

I'll take a look at this next week

Some improvements to patch 1

Here's another patch that obsoletes the previous version.
Changes:
- In the first patch, only bundles to a certain degree have been displayed.
- Use same toggle buttons as in PDE plug-in depedency view to switch between view modes
- Add another button to select the plug-in that should be focussed. Allowing only the context menu isn't very intuitive, I think...

Further improvements

Another idea came to my mind last night... When displaying callers bundles, the focussed bundle now is displayed on the bottom with dependent bundles above. This is more intuitive as it corresponds to the idea of having layers that depend on each other.
@Chris: This should have been the last patch - hopefully :-)

done.

I applied your patch with some modifications. I also did a ton of refactoring.

Please keep the patches coming ;)
