Autoscroll the project files panel when you select a file in the editor about gnatstudio HOT 4 CLOSED

(former GPS developer, no longer involved) I like this idea. The reason it was not implemented initially is for efficiency reasons. The contents of the Project view was populated lazily, and thus we did not have all the files information in there. A further complication is that a given source file might occur several times (if you use an aggregate project, or configure the Project view to nest imported projects), so there could be ambiguities as to which one GPS should select.

But since we implemented the filtering at the top of the Project view, it would now be much easier to implement your suggestion. One possible approach, which could be done from a pure python plugin, is simply to populate the filter, though that is definitely not the best.

Do you know about the "Locate in Project view" contextual menu in editors ? That might help too.

Finally, I think you will need to provide more context for your last sentence, which seems unrelated to the rest of your suggestions ?

Personal note: nice to hear from you again ! :-)

To open a file in the editor, you can double click on the file in the project files tree. This double click is
a pain. To solve that, Intellij Idea has the "Autoscroll to source" which when enabled, allows you to
use the simple click (which does nothing today in gps). I guess this mode could be easily implemented.

Thanks for the "Locate in Project view" this helps a little but it would really help more to have it run
automatically when you click on the editor tab. I really love Intellij Idea for that (and other things)!

I think a python plugin could easily run "Locate in Project View" automatically...

Hi Stephane,

You can now enable the "Auto Locate File" plugin via the Preferences/Plugins page to have this feature.
