http://download.eclipse.org/e4/sdk/drops/I20100616-2127/index.php. Customize Perspective Save Perspective As Reset Perspective are not working (nothing happens).
Dani, thanks (a lot!) for taking the time to do this... while Save and Customize are not wired up (should be removed?) the 'Reset' seems to work for me...I'm currently working some edge conditions on a Reset when you have Detached or Minimized stacks but it should be doing something. At this point I think that 'Customize' (at least) will have to go in post-release since there are too many unknowns.
Created attachment 172153 [details] Patch that cleans up minimized stacks / detached windows on a perspective close There are likely still edge conditions...
Committed in >20100617. Applied the patch.
>he 'Reset' seems to work for me... Not here with the build indicated in comment 0 and these steps: 1. download the build from comment 0 2. install it 3. start with new workspace 4. close Outline view (or any other view) 5. Window > Reset Perspective ==> confirmation dialog comes up 6. click OK ==> BUG: closed views don't come back
>Committed in >20100617. Applied the patch. Eric, in which build will this be available for verification?

It might take a while to show up in the IBM internal mirrors, you might have to use http://www.eclipse.org/external to access it. PW
Tried I20100617-2238: steps from comment 4 still apply.
I think I understand. I use the context menu on the PerspectiveSwitcher (my main menu items were disabled originally). What needs to happen is that the 'openPerspective' and 'closePerspective' code from the Perspective Switcher has to be moved into the WorkbenchPage and used from both menus...
We need to merge the code from the PS into the WorkbenchPage code and then change the PS to use 'page' calls.
Created attachment 172447 [details] Implement WorkbenchPage#closePerspective and resetPerspective Also switches the PerspectiveSwitcher over to using WorkbenchPage to perform its operations.
Committed in >20100622. Applied the patch. Reset and Close now work from both the perspective switcher and the main menu. We still have to figure out what to do with Save, Close All Perspectives and Customize. Now that the most relevant functionality is there can we move this to post-release ? I've changed the severity to reflect this but feel free to change it again if we think that the remaining functionality is required...

>Reset and Close now work from both the perspective switcher and the main menu. Not for me using I20100701-1105. Still looks pretty broken: 1. start new workspace 2. close 'Outline' view (or any other) 3. Window > Reset Perspective ==> BUMMER: it's disabled!
There seems to be other issues when using the main menu, e.g. if I close the perspective ('Java' out of the box) and then reopen it via main menu, it opens a new window instead of opening it in the current window (as done by the perspective switcher).

I'm seeing different behavior on I20100713-2016. I closed the outline view, chose Window->Reset Perspective, and the perspective was restored, *except* that all my open editors closed.

This is not happening for me on I20100713-2016. We need to figure out what we are going to tackle on this bug. I tried closing all perspectives and got into a state where the content of all my views is gone (ie, nothing showing in the package explorer). At that point I couldn't switch workspaces or shutdown due to NPE's. I think we are going to have to live with shipping some "not implemented" but we need to see which perspective operations are putting us in an unrecoverable state and try to block those.

This was targeted at a milestone in the past.
Tested again on : the 'Reset' scenarios now seem to work but - Customize Perspective - Save Perspective As Still do nothing. >while Save and Customize are not wired up (should be removed?) Yes, I think we either need to wire or remove them for 4.0.
>Tested again on : ==> I20100718-2237.
We planned to wire it off for 4.0 PW
Created attachment 174778 [details] Disable perspective manipulation patch v1 Wire off the incoming actions from the WAB. And also get rid of the context menu items from the perspective switcher.
(In reply to comment #21) > Created an attachment (id=174778) [details] > Disable perspective manipulation patch v1 Paul, please review and assess.
Boris, need a +1 for RC3 candidate. This was a "safe fix" candidate.
If you also remove that MenuDetect sysout from PerspectiveSwitcher while you're there :-) PW
+1
Fix released to HEAD. Also took out the "Menu Detect" sysout.
Verified in SDK 4.0 - I20100720-2028. Filed bug 320478 for the missing perspective customization.
