Request: Import profile on saving
« on: November 28, 2006, 03:04:31 pm »
Can a checkbox please be added to the "Save as UML profile box" called "Import profile" which will automatically import the profile you save into the current EA project.

This will save the manual import step I always seem to do after creating a new stereotype.

Even better - bypass the save stage and simply have an "Import this profile as resource" menu item which will generate an in memory profile and import into the current project, bypassing the need to save as an interim XML doc.

Cheers,
DAvid.

Not into profiles yet, but sounds a good idea to me...

I think so too.

It's also a good stepping stone to future import, via the API, from a string variable rather than a file. But we'll discuss that later...
No, you can't have it!
