#482 Pydev Package Explorer and Mylyn (.pyc files visible)

[Hannes Mueller]

It seems Mylar confuses the Package Explorer's Filter settings.

It seems to affect mostly the "Hide .pyc files". Although it is activated, the files are not hidden when klicking the "Focus on active Task" button, or using alt-click to show Mylar-hidden files of a project.

Pydev 1.3.2
Pydev Mylar Integration 0.2.0
Mylar 2.0.0

I noticed also a strange behaviour when the Mylar Context filter is active: when I use Alt-Click to show the hidden items to open another file, some of the already open files lost their landmark status and were removed from the explorer and another file (a unused one) took its place (but only in the label, when I clicked it it opened the correct file)

Can you check if that happens with Pydev 1.3.7 and the Mylyn 0.3.0 integration?

The first mentioned confusion seems to be gone now.
Alt-Clicking still shows the .pyc files, although the pcy filter is active.

Eclipse 3.3
Pydev+extension 1.3.7
pydev mylyn integration 0.3.0

p.s. the strange behaviour mentioned in the last part did not appear again in this try

Mylyn seems to override the filters... have you tried to add *.pyc to window > preferences > Mylyn > Resources (add it as an exclusion)?

Nope, that does not produce the desired effect. The pyc files are not added to the context then, which does not concern me since I never added them in the first place.

The main problem is that the "Pydev Package Explorer" (PPE) still shows the *.pyc files when using alt-click to temporarily un-hide the "not-in-focus" elements of the project, when a Mylyn context is active and the "Focus on active task" button is activated in the PPE, even though these are specifically filtered in the PPE settings.
I hope this makes my request reproducible for you...

Still present with

eclipse 3.3
PyDev 1.3.8
PyDev Extensions 1.3.8
Mylyn Integration 0.3.0
Mylyn 2.0.0
Windows XP

The easiest way to get one of the strange effects is to activate a task and open some files, so that there exists some context.
Then go to the Pydev Package Explorer and klick the "Focus on Active Task" button to hide all the other files.
Then unhide them again, and presto: all these pyc files show up. They also show up when you alt-click on a source subfolder/package
