CCSv5.1 M8: "Open" action suppressed in Project Explorer

John Dallaway

The resource "Open" action appears to be suppressed within the Project Explorer view in CCSv5.1 M8. As a consequence, double clicking on most types of file resources within the Project Explorer achieves nothing. As a workaround, you can drag the file into the editor pane to open it. This issue is observed within all perspectives (not just the CCS Edit perspective) and makes it difficult to use CCS v5.1 as a general purpose Eclipse workbench.

    John,

    We have had someone else report this as well.  I have not seen this myself.

    If you open the error log view (Window->Show View->Error Log) does it show an error when you try to open a file?

     

    Regards,

    John

    John,

    As I reported, this is happening in M7 also.

    There is no error recorded in the log. I expect this is a case of CCS explicitly suppressing a generic Eclipse action.

    You can easily reproduce this issue by bringing up the Project Explorer (Window->Show View->Project Explorer) and double clicking on a CDT makefile (for example)  within the Project Explorer view. The makefile will not be opened.

    It looks like the 'Resource Navigator' capabilities is turned off. Can you goto the preferences dialog and select Generla|Capabilities and check whether this capability is enabled?

    The Resource Navigator capability is definitely enabled.

    Is there any additional plugin you might have installed ontop of M8?

    The problem is reproducible with an unmodified CCSv5.1 M8 installation. Just create a C/C++ project and attempt to open a file such as "makefile" by double-clicking on the file within the Project Explorer.
