It would be nice to have a mechanism to export task view filters to a file and then have a button in the filters dialog which will "Restore My Default Filters", effectively reading this file and setting the filters to be my preferred default filters on any workspace, rather than the Eclipse defaults.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 41325 ***
I am not sure why this was marked as a duplicate of bug 41325 as it deals with filters in the same workspace. This was a request for filters to be preserved across any new workspaces rather than having the Eclipse defaults being applied to them. If this can be done then please let me know as I am unable to determine how to do this using the 3.0 M8 build.
We now have declarative filters so you can do this with a plug-in
I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for closing this defect... While the new filtering mechanism in Eclipse v3.2 is very nice, I would still like to be able to make the filter(s) that I create in one workspace available with any other workspace. This currently does not happen so I am puzzled as to why this defect was returned as WORKSFORME. Is it be possible for Eclipse to provide this enhancement?
You can always declare them in a plug-in and use them that way. I gather what you after though is ones you can export?
Well, I would prefer not have to export from one workspace and import into another, but instead for all created filter 'sets' to just be there for all workspaces. The update manager works in this same fashion... Try creating a 'Remote Site' in one workspace (it doesn't even need to be value). Now open a new workspace - it's automatically available (see bug 45905). I was hoping to have the same functionality for the filters.
Filters are now exported with preferences
This is perfect - thanks! The only problem remaining with this enhancement is bug 135555.
