I am currently using PowerBuilder 12.0 (not my choice) and a bug seems to have crept in around a certain date. I know that you can take a single PowerBuilder item - say, a datawindow, window or menu - and call up "Show History" for it. Is it possible to do this for all of the items and then refine the date range yourself?
Generally when using an 'external' source control tool from within PowerBuilder you can right click on the item in the library painter and there should be an option to 'view history'. If you don't have that or a similar option you would need to launch the source control tool itself, navigate to the project/library which contains the PB object you want and then view its history from there. You should also be able to compare the old version with the current one so you can identify what has changed.

I have one folder that contains multiple sub folders, and each of them is one git repository. Sometimes I can see this SOURCE CONTROL PROVIDERS view showing up and it's super helpful, but sometimes it doesn't show up. I would like to know if there is a switch on the vscode UI to turn on or off this view. (Maybe it's a plug in that I accidentally installed?)
Thank you!
Version 1.31.1 has a config parameter to always show the source control providers:
Type Ctrl+, to access settings
Search for SCM
Check the "Scm: Always Show Providers" option
You are using 1.17 released today (at least for me). For info about that panel see source control providers. I don't see a toggle for that panel - I assume you always get it if you have multiple SC Providers and open up the source control icon CTRL-Shift-G.
but sometimes it doesn't show up
Starting with 1.47 (June 2020), it does not show up at all, as it used to.
There is a new "single-unified view":
(the old view might come back in 1.49, Sept. 2020, see at the end)
The Source Control view has been consolidated into a single view:
All repositories are rendered in a single view, so you can get a better overview of the entire workspace status.
Additionally, the Source Control view can now be moved to the panel and other views can be moved to the Source Control view container
This... has not been appreciated. See issue 102118:
In the old system, if I had 4-5 repos showing, the one or two with active changes would show up clearly at the bottom.
Now it's very muddled, and sort by status simply puts the repos with changes at the top.
Here is the old view. List of changed files only show up when a repo is clicked. They are clear and distinct, separated from all the list of repos and everything else at the bottom.
The new single source view. One has to hunt for the changes amidst a list of other repos. It is cluttered, hard to parse, and requires hunting to find what you want. The old view was much easier to follow and use.
issue 104151 proposes to bring back the old view
Example:
The Source Control Repositories view is now back.
(It used to be called Source Control Providers).
It lets you control visibility of multiple repos in the Source Control view.
The setting scm.repositories.visible is now back
(It used to be called scm.providers.visible).
I've sprinkled visibility actions both in the context menu of the Source Control view as well as the ... menu, to make it easier to control the visibility without using the Source Control Repositories view.
i am using an eclipse based IDE and have a library with some files that i need to make additions/changes to. what is the best way to quickly see the all the modifications of all files in a list/tab in eclipse IDE?
i know there is the useful "#TODO" tag that shows all tasks in a nice view/tab. as im using this quite heavily, i would like to have a special view/tab that just shows the modifications and separates them from the todos.
EDIT:
thx for the suggestions and the local history tipp.
sorry for not making myself clearer. ive added a screenshot.
when i add "TODO" the tasks show up in the tab marked in red - i dont mind setting manually something (like a bookmark) as im not going to make a lot of changes, but ideally they show up like the tasks or another simple overview.
It's could depend of your version control system.
For each, eclipse purpose an associated plugin with a specific view.
Instead that, you could use the History view (Team/ Show local History after a right clic on a file).
Eclipse keeps a history of your changes for a limited number of days (configured in 'Preferences > General > Workspace > Local History'). You can right click on a file and choose 'Compare With > Local History' to see the changes between revisions.
To track all your changes you need to use one of the source control systems (such as SVN, GIT, ...). Eclipse has plugins to support these systems. Once you have installed one of these you can use the 'Team' menu to commit changes and look at the history.
found it!
by clicking "window" - "Show view" - "other" one needs to select the "bookmarks". the bookmarks then show up as a tab next to tasks.
by clicking the right small arrow the bookmark view menu pops up (similiar to the screenshot above with the task menu). the bookmark view can then be configured/filtered by clicking the "Configure contents..." menu link.
I'm facing a wierd problem. My eclipse, has a google signin button which is occupying some of the space which I do not want to happen. Initially it had "Sign-in to Google" text along with it. I've followed some blog post and set accordingly to show just the icon (I don't remember that blog post link).
But now, the icon is getting replicating .. it is being shown 12 times. It is actually creating childs :P
I've gone through all the options present in Customize Perspective menu, none of them had this button listed. Can someone help me in removing that google sign button from my perspective? One possible suspect is- my eclipse crashes when I suspend and wakeup my machine.
You can use the Window > Reset Perspective... menu command to reset the perspective to its default state, which might eliminate that toolbar and buttons. If that fails, I would create a new workspace and import the projects into it using File > Import > Existing Projects into Workspace.
If you want to try to salvage your existing workspace, it's possible to do so my manually editing Eclipse's internal file that stores your Workbench layout, but it's a bit tricky. Here are the steps I've followed to eliminate a similar repeated toolbar item:
Exit Eclipse.
Find the Workbench layout file, it's path is <workbench>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.e4.workbench\workbench.xmi. Make a backup of this file before you touch it - this is essential because it's easy to corrupt the file if you change the wrong things.
Open the file in your favorite XML-aware editor - most packages of Eclipse include the XML editor that works just fine1, but be aware that if you use Eclipse to edit the file you can't have Eclipse open on the workspace that contains the workbench.xmi you want to edit.
Find the section of <trimBars> nodes in the XML; from there you have to determine which <trimBars> node you need to edit. In your case it looks like a vertical one, probably with a side="Right" attribute.
Under the correct <trimBars> node you'll find multiple <chlidren> nodes, each with an elementId attribute that should help you identify it; you're looking for <children> nodes that are identified as something related to the Google plugin.
Delete the <children> nodes that seem related to the unwanted toolbar buttons. In your case, it appears that there is an entire toolbar that you might want to eliminate, so you might want to delete the entire containing <trimBars> node.
Save the file and start Eclipse on that workspace.
1Some packages of Eclipse include EMF tools that will open it in a special XMI editor that does not provide a view of the source, only a structural tree view. Depending on how you like to work with XML, this might be easier than editing raw XML.
This is not a perspective but a view. You can hover over that bar with the buttons and click Alt+Shift+F1 to check where this View comes from. Then you can either disable/uninstall the contributing feature (Help -> Installation Details) or check where the feature came from.
If it comes from the IDE, you can open a bug for it. If it is contributed from a third party plugin, contact the developers of that plugin.
There is an eclipse bug concerning duplicate view toolbar buttons in Luna that has recently closed as well. Maybe this solves your problem as well.
Edit: Taken from this bug:
root cause is that in Luna 4.4M5 WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.createControl is called twice, the
first time with a null value for
WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.getWorkbenchWindow() while it is
still being created. This is related to what has been reported here
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=427452
second cause is that my createControl(Composite parent) method was calling PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow() instead
of WorkbenchWindowControlContribution.getWorkbenchWindow(). This
resulted in an attempt to create a new Workbench Window, which
recursively calls createControl() again. This has already been
reported here https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=366708
I use an older plugin called Veloeclipse for editing Velocity templates in Eclipse. There's been no development on this since 2009, which isn't a problem because it's mainly just for syntax highlighting and format validation. The really annoying thing about it, however, is that when I try to do Show In to view the current Velocity template within my Package Explorer or Project Explorer, the only available option is Properties. That's not really useful. I really need to be able to get to the file in one of the regular explorer views.
So I have sort of two questions:
Is there a way to configure this without having to monkey with any code? A configuration file or something? I've grepped through my Eclipse installation and haven't seen anything, but I'm hoping that there's something I'm missing.
So assuming that the answer to my first question is no, how do I go about modifying the plugin code so that it will show more than the Properties view in the Show In menu? Most of what I found on the plugin development wiki comes from the other direction: how to make your view or perspective appear in the Show In menu.
Any help with this would be hugely appreciated!
Try to check the plugin source code. it might do something different than other editors. What I mean is that the show in menu item that you have there is not the usual extension point but a hard coded context menu option.
In Visual Studio, the editor has a drop-down list of functions in the current class; clicking on one will take me to the top of that function. Is there a way to get a similar behaviour from RubyMine?
I suggested this as a feature request to the folks at JetBrains, and within the day they got back to me to tell me about the 'File Structure Popup' on ^F12 which does very nearly what I want; it's an extra keypress but I can live with it.
If you're working on a Rails project, change the project view to Rails (change the View as: dropdown value)
Online help is here.
It looks like this is as close as it gets to the functionality you're looking for.
Ctrl+0 key in editor will show all methods with search capacity.
The same is drop-down menu Navigate -> File structure.
