Title: Idea: Show Diagram Stereotype in Project Browser
Post by: darren.sampson on January 09, 2007, 07:43:14 pm

Diagram stereotypes should be shown in the project browser.

This is a consistency issue (everything else in the project browser seems to show stereotypes if they exist), and so I'm not really sure if I'd call it an idea or a bug, but I'll stick with idea for now.

We are increasingly using diagram stereotypes to identify common classes of diagrams and hope to use the diagram stereotype for automatic creation and maintenance of the diagrams in the future.  

They will also be more useful if Paolo's idea is accepted - IDEA: Stereotyped Template Diagrams (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=suggestions;action=display;num=1168302786)

Due to this, this inconsistency is getting increasingly irritating.

Votes?

Agreed.

However, I'd also like to have the ability to turn off (all) stereotype display in the Project Browser.

And, consider the ability to group by stereotype in the Project Browser - independent of whether this is set for element display.

What say?

There's already an option to do this

Hey Thomas,

Did you mean to post that here (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=suggestions;action=display;num=1168314922)?

I stand corrected.

Thanks for pointing this out Simon.

Seems some of us old fogies just cannot learn these new tricks.
