Description Jared Burns CLA 2003-06-04 13:10:34 EDT 
The-functionality-formerly-known-as-object-browser is currently
called variable filters. I think this is a misnomer as the term
"filter" in UI terminology means something that removes information
(usually, useless information). The object browser just presents
data in a different form.

Since this mechanism provides a different way to browse objects, I
like the "browser" terminology. Object browser, variable browser,
etc. Or maybe something like "enhanced view"?

We also need a new icon for this feature.
Comment 2 Joe Szurszewski CLA 2003-06-17 11:57:15 EDT 
Changed all external AND internal references from:
"variable filters" & "variables content providers"
to
"object browsers".

This makes things a lot more consistent, and easier to follow.  

Filed bug 39024 for the icon issue.
Comment 3 Joe Szurszewski CLA 2003-06-17 11:57:30 EDT 
Please verify, Darin W.
Comment 4 Darin Wright CLA 2003-10-01 18:01:21 EDT 
Changed tool-tip text to "Show Logical Structure". Still need new artwork.
Comment 5 Darin Wright CLA 2003-12-09 10:43:56 EST 
This is fixed. The term "logical structures" now appears in the UI. A bug is 
filed for new artwork (bug 39024). A "show as" cascading (context) menu appears 
when there are logical structure choices for the selected variable/value.
