ABAP Favorites Eclipse Plugin

abapfavorites's Issues

Double click and select the Project

Hello @fidley ,

In my "Favorites" View I have a list of the most common tcode I use. I was wondering how could I tell the system which project should it use when I select one of the tcodes.
I found #35 that is great and solves my issue. Amazing :)

Nevertheless I was wondering that maybe it could be nice that the project selection appears when I press the tcode in a popup for example. then I could even have a box where I start typing my project ID to filter my list.
I'm thinking in the system behaviour when I open a new ABAP project and the list of systems configured in the SAP Gui comes up...

Maybe you could use a combination of keys (Double click + ctr for example ) since currently, when I double click a tcode in my Favorites it will open it in the current open project.

This is very low priority but it could be interesting for those who have a lot of projects configured in the ADT.

I am not even sure if it's possible or not but decided to share this thought!

What do you think?

Possibility to add message classes to Dev favorites

Add export / import functions for easy copying favorites between different workspaces

Drag and drop behavior between Project Explorer and Favorites Dev Object

It would be nice to have a feature to drag entries from Project Explorer and drop it directly into Favorites window.
If it would be dropped at a folder - it would put entries into the folder.

Cheers,
Cezary

View not available

Hello Lukasz,

Thanks for this great extension.
I have a problem with the latest eclipse version (2021-12 (4.22.0)). The extension is installed but the view is not available to add.
Never had any problem with previous versions.

Do you have any idea of the problem ?

Reading the logs I could find this :

Error when upgrading from 1.0.51 to 1.0.60 or installing straight to 1.0.60

Hi there. I having an installation/upgrade problem with the ABAP Favorites plugin.

I am using a fresh installation of Eclipse 2020-06 and ADT Core Development Tools 3.12.1.
When I install your plugin from the Update Site "http://abapblog.com/eclipse/plugin/ABAPFavorites" then I get the following error:

I then installed the "latest" 1.0.51 version, which worked.
When I then try to upgrade via "Check for Updates" I get the same error as above.

Interestingly the marketplace also just offers me 1.0.51.

When I try to mirror your plugin via Eclipse cli tool, it seems not to download the other dependencies of your plugin.

C:\Windows\system32>"D:\Programme\Eclipse_201909\eclipse\eclipsec.exe" -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://abapblog.com/eclipse/plugin/ABAPFavorites -destination D:\test\14
Mirroring: org.eclipse.update.feature,com.abapblog.adt.extension.feature,1.0.0.5 (Descriptor: canonical: org.eclipse.update.feature,com.abapblog.adt.extension.feature,1.0.0.5)

Any ideas what could cause that problem?

Thanks a lot for the hard work, and the cool Plugin.

Add possibility to store tables and views in dev favorites

Add possibility to store ADT links or bookmarks

Project dependent folders collapse when changing active project

I have created two development objects folder - Folder 1 project independent, Folder 2 dependent on project ARQ,
When the active system is ARQ I expand both folders.

When I switch to project AED, Folder 2 disappears, which is fine.

When I switch back to project ARQ, Folder 2 appears but it's collapsed. I have to expand it again.

Can you fix that please?

Copy to Clipboard

Hi @fidley ,
first of all - thanks for this plugin!

Sometimes I would like to copy the name of an object (Class, Function, Program) from the favorites to the clipboard.

I added this small functionality in my forked project.

If you're interested I could add a PR - otherwise you can just close this issue.

Add Long Description to column and add Searching in Long Descriptions

1. Can we add long description to column? so i can open folder and see 20 objects and i can see what was purpose of that object ( example transaction via long description ) ? any mass quick display functionality other than new column would be nice also
2. Can we than in search allow searching in long descriptions ? I can put than some tags in long descriptions and search by tags or sth like that. So tool will receive some additional flexibility

thx BR Rafal

Cannot delete entries from Favorites Dev Objects view

As in the titel. Deleting from Favorites view works correctly but not for Favorites Dev Objects view.

Sort by description

Hi @fidley .

It's been a long time since we requested something 🙂 Today's wish is: Would it be possible to sort the objects by description column? The folder structure should remain the same, but objects should be able to be sorted by their description. Right now I have many folders and many objects underneath them with incoherent names; it has become an issue to find the object I need.

Thanks 🙂

Make project dependent folders always visible

Hi Lukasz.
Project dependent folders are automatically hidden when another project is activated. Is it possible to not hide them, and objects under them should open in the associated project and not the active project?
Thanks.

New Setting for enabling/disabling eclipse Navigation

Hi @fidley,

Sometimes it would be nice to always stay inside the opened Transaction (e.g. SE80). As it is now, any time I try to open an Object from SE80 it will opened in a new editor in eclipse (e.g. Class, Interface, ...).

Could you please offer a preference setting for this? It could be named like "Navigate to eclipse for supported development object" - the same way SAP does it in the dialog to open a new integrated SAP GUI Editor.

The Implementation part should be a simple matter. Just take the preference setting and pass the boolean value to the enableEclipseNavigation parameter of the method openEditorForObject

public IEditorPart openEditorForObject(IProject project, 
        com.sap.adt.tools.core.model.adtcore.IAdtObjectReference navigationTarget, 
        boolean enableEclipseNavigation,
        String wbOperation
        Map<String, String> setGetParameters, 
        Map<String, String> parameters)

Can't install ABAPFavorites

Hi Łukasz,

I am trying to install ABAPFavorites in Eclipse Photon from the Marketplace but I am having the following error:

Is the plugin not available anymore?

Thanks a lot

Add button to fetch object description from SAP system

When adding objects to favorites you need to manually fill description of object. Sometimes it would be great to have possibility to fetch the description from SAP.

remember last state of collapsed (uncollapsed) tree after strating Eclipse

After Start of Eclipse all nodes of favorites tree are collapsed. I would be nice that plugin could remember last state and open tree lake it was before closing.

favorites invisible after login to abap project

Hi,

after updating to the latest version 1.0.60 my favorites aren't shown after log in to my project.
When I click on "sort by..." everythings is fine. Can you have a look at this?

Kind regards,
Frank

Add possiblity to change entries

Currently there is only possiblity to add or delete objects or folders. The only way to change existing entries is to manipulate XML file manually.

This should be quite easy to apply

Marketplace installation not working

Hi,

the link from the Readme (http://abapblog.com/eclipse/plugin/ABAPFavorites/) isn't working.

Also the installation from the Eclipse Marketplace fails:

Add text files to folders

It would be nice if we could add text files to folders.
I am using the folders to manage my different projects using ADT and I would like to add text files with some notes regarding the correspondent project.

Synchronization between PCs

Hi Łukasz, thanks for the plugin!

One question: I am currently struggling keeping my eclipse settings in sync between three PCs (especially dark theme settings btw...). Is there a file I could check into a private repo with git to synchronize the favorites?

Eclipse Marketplace unable to read repository due to invalid certification

Hi,

I am sorry if i am wrong here. My customer has the problem that when wanting to install ABAPFavorites a Problem occurs:

"unable to read repository at https:\fidley.github.io/ADTPluginsUpdateSite/UpdateSite/content.xml
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

there doesnt seem to be a repository with "content.xml" but "content.xml.old". Is there a fix for this kind of issue?

Thank you

Expand option in ABAP Favourites

Hello Łukasz,
First of all, thank you for all the work you do, it helps greatly in day to day life in Eclipse.
I wonder, if it would be possible to add the expand buttons to ABAP Favourites, so it would be possible to expand every folder the same way it works in Vertical Tabs (which is also beautiful piece of work)?
Thank you!

Add multiple objects at one time

Hello!
It would be nice to have possibility to add multiple objects at one time, especially when you're moving your projects to ABAP Favorites for the first time.
I'd also expect to not get popup after popup when i add multiple entries, but rather everything in one place in form of table:
Name of object Description Long Description

Cheers,
Cezary

An error has occurred. See error log for more details. com/sap/adt/util/AdapterUtil

With ADT 2.83 there it is no longer possible to run program from Favorites. An error:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
com/sap/adt/util/AdapterUtil

Seems like com.sap.adt.util.AdapterUtil is gone or hidden that's why we cannot do it. Let's see if we can override it somehow.

Drag and Drop development objects between Favorite Folders

Change the development object root folder by drag and drop

Add possibility to store program name as favorite

Width of the columns is reset after re-launch of eclipse

Sort Function

There is no sorting function so far, all nodes are display in the sequence they were created

Add possibility to store folders in folders

So far you can create folders only on top node, would be helpful to have possibility to create multi level hierarchy of folders

Add possibility to add objects to favorites from context menu

Ability to open in a specific project

Hi Lukasz.
Is it possible for you to add an "Open in project > ..." or "Run in project > ..." option on the context menu of project independent objects? That way it would be easier to open or run an object without first switching to the desired project.
If there are no windows open for that project, I have to open something first, then use the Favorites view in current situation.

By the way, I'm making these suggestions about projects because I have 4 systems I'm working on and they mostly have the same objects. My life would be a lot easier if these suggestions become real.

Thanks.

Quick fix for instant translation

Hi Lukasz.

I have an idea for a new Quick fix option: Instant translation using Google Translate.

You know in the standard SAP programs, many of the comments are in German. For people who don't speak German, a translation option which appears after selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+1 would be wonderful. You can use Google Translate API for this purpose.

After I select the text and choose Translate from quick fixes, the resulting text could appear in a popup, just like what you get with pressing F2. If it's not possible, the internal browser of Eclipse can be used.

Also the target language could be an option. I am Turkish but I mostly prefer translation to English (as Google handles it better than Turkish), so in the preferences there can be an option to choose the target languages I want. Then these languages can appear as separate quick fix options, e.g. Translate to English, Translate to Turkish.

Do you think this is feasible?

Throw logon popup when opening object in the system that it's not active

Feature Idea SAP GUI Import

Would be really great, if it would be possible to import the Transactions from the SAP GUI Favorites.

Opening RFC function module opens RFC service instead

Hi Fidley.
I've just found this plugin by recommendation of Florian Henninger on SCN, and I absolutely love it! It's way better than the Bookmarks view of Eclipse.
I have a few problems though, so I'll open an issue for each of them.

First one: I added an RFC function module which also has an RFC service to favorites. When I double click in Favorites, it opens the RFC service instead of the function module. Can you check that please?

To reproduce the issue, go to table TADIR with OBJECT = SRFC and pick any OBJ_NAME. Add it to a development objects folder in Favorites, then try to open it by double clicking.

Collapsing of node after change in tree or changing project

After you add or delete a node, or when you switch ABAP editor to other system, then tree is refreshed and the expanded nodes became collapsed again

Linking to the editor for SAP GUI

Linking to the editor works only on switching between ABAP source code editors and not between SAP GUIs inside eclipse

which version of Eclipse shall be used with your plugin.

good day ,

today i was tryed install your plugin to eclipse 2018-8 and i was unable thanks to missing dependencies can i ask you which version of eclipse you use for abap programming.

Escaped / to %2F character if Object is added via Context Menu in Editor

Let's say I have a namespaced class open in eclipse e.g. /cwm/cl_md_material. When I try to add this class to the Favorites/Favorites Dev Objects via the context menu entry "Add To Favorites" of the editor, the name is converted to %2FCWM%2FCL_MD_MATERIAL. If I create the Favorite with this name the saved favorite will not open.

If I add the same object via the context menu entry in the project explorer tree this issue does not occur

Sometimes during creation of first nodes the double click does not work. It start to works after restart of eclipse

Create Help For Plugin

To show all capabilities of plugin it would be good to have a help, that would contain all info

Copy & paste folders

Hello Lukasz,
Your plugin is extremely useful !!! Have you considered adding a feature to the Favorites view to copy an existing folder (including all child folders and objects) and paste it into another folder? I would like to see it work no matter how the existing and target folders are defined (Independent or DevObject).
Thanks, Roland
