DisplayMode (flat or meta-class) for parts of the project tree

Hi,

I want to display parts of my project tree with display mode "meta-class", while other parts should be shown as flat to minimize depth. As far as I can see, the Browser property DisplayMode seems to be a global one for the whole project. Is it possible to change this for everything below a certain package (or other node in the tree)?

Cheers,

Jens

    You raise a good point. I would like to add a suggestion to this. I would like to have a third mode for display: Flat, Categories and Auto. In auto mode, a category will be displayed when there is more than a certain number of elements of any metaclass. The 'certain number' should be settable in a property, like "Browser.Settings.DisplayMetaclassOnNumberOfElements", with a default of 3 (for example).

    So if a package contained one block, one type and two valuetypes, they would all be displayed flat. But if the user added another valuetype, then the valuetypes would all appear under a ValueTypes category, but the block and the class would still be displayed flat.

    I think this would keep the browser levels low when possible, while avoiding the need to decide manually for each package. What do you think?
