Description Tristan Faure CLA 2011-05-20 11:09:03 EDT 
Currently at least 3 files are necessary to use MDT Papyrus,
The .di containing the current diagrams and the history for model loading,
the .notation for GMF,
the .model (.uml) containing data.

For advanced users there is no problem to deal with all of these files, for newcomers it can be a mess.

For this feature request I suggest a reorganization of the project navigator view using the CNF to have a more logical display of resources.
If I have this triplet of files :
+ folder
	- model.di
	- model.notation
	- model.uml
The display I suggest is :
+ folder
	+ model
		- di
		- notation
		- uml
		
All the actions possible in the first configuration are available in the leaves (di, notation and uml) and basic actions are available on the node model. (open, delete, refresh, team operations like commit, update ...).

This shall be disabled easily I suggest using a cnf filter. When the filter is enabled the files are hidden and Java elements are displayed instead of

Hi,

when I unfold a Papyrus folder called for example MyModel, I only see the extensions of the three file (i.e. notation, di, and uml). I do not see the name of the file: MyMidel.notation, MyModel.di and MyModel.uml. (see attached picture)
Is it normal? I guess no.
Comment 4 Tristan Faure CLA 2011-05-24 11:36:57 EDT 
Yes it is normal.
di represents MyModel.di
notation represents MyModel.notation
uml represents MyModel.uml

It is what i explained when I have represented the old and new tree in first post :

"
+ folder
    - model.di
    - model.notation
    - model.uml
new one :
+ folder
    + model
        - di
        - notation
        - uml
"

I think it is better for usability and readability to not repeat the labels of each file
