Title: Source Directories and UML Packages
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on October 03, 2006, 08:13:17 pm
In another topic (Packages, Namespaces & groupings (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=suggestions;action=display;num=1159930170) I propose that one way out of the UML package being a namespace and not a folder is to provide "Grouping Only" packages below (and above) the Namespace packages.
With platform specific languages that are namespace based (such as C++, C# etc), this means that there is often an enclosing package.
At present, when you select such a package in the browser and request to Import Source Directory, the dialog retains a "sticky" value form the last time it was run.
My suggestion is to utilise the Filename attribute of the enclosing package. If there is a value there that parses to a directory, then Import Source Directory would take the value it found there as the Root Directory for the import. This could be controlled by a check box on the dialog
Take Root Directory from package Filename[/b][/font].

Yes! Certainly add my vote.
This is YA good implementation effect of the Grouping Package concept.
