Which "workspace" am I in?

Guru 15580 points

Is there a way to have CCS4 display the current workspace? I have generated several workspaces for various version tests but cannot see a way to have CCS4 display which workspace is currently active. Even if you File->switch workspce, the default workspace that comes up in the search window is not the currently active workspace.

Quirky

  • Mike,

    A quick tip that I use is to go to menu File --> Switch workspace. The name highlighted is the workspace currently being used. 

    Although CCS does not display its name 100% of the time, it is at least useful to not be lost in the sea of workspaces (yes, I also use several of them).

    Hope this helps,

    Rafael

     

  • Raphael,

    Thanks. For some reason, I thought I was in a different workspace when I tried the File->change workspace command. Goes to show you the current tecnique is a bit confusing.

    Do you guys have a formal "new feature request" procedure/forum?

  • Mike,

    Not sure about feature request forum, but there's another ad-hoc method; which works all the time for me.

    "

    While Eclipse is running, try to  bring up another instance of Eclipse. You'll get a message indicating that "Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one.".

    Then click "OK"  and you get another dialog box with current workspace's location.

    "

    (of course, you can try renaming that folder to confirm if it's indeed the current workspace or not!)

    I agree that there should be a systematic way to find current workspace!

  • If your projects are located in your workspace you can right click on a project, select properties and if you select info in the tree it shows you the location of the project which would be a subfolder under the workspace.

  • Mike,

    I filed the enhancement request SDSCM00036674 and you can follow its progression using the SDOWP link in my signature below.

    John,

    Unfortunately the project info location does not work for linked projects - the directory shown is the original location and not the workspace.

    Cheers,

    Rafael

  • Thanks guys!
