Error message on File Types page

[GDoutch]

I cannot set file types. Whenever I select Window > Preferences > Color Library Editor > File Types I get the message "The currently displayed page contains invalid values".

And cannot do anything with that page.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong?

Was there ever any resolution to this? I am having the same problem. The Eclipse error log is reporting this.........

Any help would be appreciated - thanks

hi,

The solution is simple. Just install EclipseColorer 0.8.0 from sf.net site (it is not available now from eclipse update).

[David Vick]

Perfect - that did the trick!!

thanks Igor
