CCS 6 - where is File menu -> Workspace -> Switch Workspace ?

Hank Barta

I ordinarily don't care to have eclipse ask me for the workspace on startup so I ticked the box to 'don't ask'. Now that I want to use a different workspace I cannot find a way to switch. There is no "File menu -> Workspace -> Switch Workspace" in the menu for CCS  (V 6.1.2.00015 on Windows 7.)

Help creating and switching to a different workspace is much appreciated.

Thanks!

    I can answer this now. ;) In Window -> Preferences -> Startup and Shutdown -> Workspaces there is a checkbox to prompt for workspace on startup. With that checked and working in a new workspace, my File menu now has 19 selections instead of the 6 or so I saw before.

    And I have found that the cause for [I[that[/I] issue was selecting the "CCS Simple" perspective.

    Hi Hank,

    You mean that this is unavailable:

    If so,  can you try shifting/creating a new workspace @ the introductory splash screen?

    Once you're at the new workspace -> check for the Switching Workspace option. It should be available now.

    Hi Gautam,
    The problem was that I had ticked the box to start with the default workspace and that left me with no option to switch on startup. I had also selected the "CCS Simple" perspective which removes the Workspace entry from the File menu. I found the setting to uncheck the 'use default without asking' and also found that using a different perspective returns the normal File menu.

    thanks,
