v16.1 - Working Sets - can't refresh without exiting EA?
« on: March 27, 2024, 04:21:49 pm »
For some reason, we haven't used Working Sets in the past.  But now we are somewhat enthusiastically embracing them.  However, as a consequence, we have highlighted a deficiency in the Working Set functionality.  There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to refresh the working set(s) "live" (similar to the "Refresh Script Tree" mechanism for Scripts). The only way seems to be to exit EA and re-enter.

Have we missed something, or is this a proxy feature request?

Reported,
Paolo

We DID miss something.  Sparx Support advises that there is a <context Menu> item to refresh the working set items.

A couple of points
  • It's unclear if this refreshes the (selected) item or the entire set of sets.
  • If it is the latter, the name should be "Refresh Entire Working Sets".
  • If it always refreshes the set in which the item appears, it should be named "Refresh Entire Working Set".
  • If it varies depending on the item type selected, then its name should differ accordingly.
Also, perhaps it should also be on the main bar (like it is for Scripts).
