RDi plug-in enhancement requests

I've been working with the RDi plug-in for a few months now and find it quite useful ... that said, I do have a few recommendations for improvements.

1. Move (or copy) the create object / compile option from the Team submenu, when you right click on an item in the RSE tree, to the top level.  Strictly speaking, compile isn't a change control function and it's probably the most frequently used.
2. Add an option to the popup menu to set the RDi connection jobs library list to the library list that would be used to compile the member.  This will allow the outline view to find copy members.  I currently have a command defined in RSE that runs ACMSLIBL to set the library list, but I have to define multiple commands and run the one that is appropriate for the program I'm working on.
3. Avoid running operations on the Eclipse UI thread, as it causes RDi to lock up (even if only briefly).  Spawn new threads or use the Eclipses job functionality.  This applies to opening source members & saving dirty editors.  I struggled with this issue in the past, as I developed the RDi integration for PTC Implementer in a past life.
4. Add a new type of filter that will show tasks (based on criteria) and all the members associated with that task ... something to the effect of:
   RDOi
+ Tasks
+ + XXX-1234
+ + + PGM1.pgm.rpgle ...
+ + + PGM2.pgm.rpgle ...
+ + XXX-9876
+ + + PGMA.srvpgm.rpgle...
+ + + BD1.bnddir...

Hi David, 

Thank you for the input.  Trying to create a support request to get these to the lab, but not finding you under our Worldpac contacts.

Initially...

1 - We've tried to keep our RDOi functions under teams to mirror the Work With xxx options/features in those greenscreen panels (for continuity) and to isolate them from the RDi 'Offline' or Compile options, but I'll suggest it for review.

2 - The 'real' LIBL for compile via the ACMSLIBL command is awkward in the plugin.  I'll see what we can do to make it easier to get to.  For the Connection definition, I've used ACMSLIBL as an initial command in the past (but requires connection per RDOi release).

3 - I'll forward to the lab for review and may have questions.

4 - When creating an RDOi Task via plugin, there is a 'Create filter' option to highlight the objects/source associated to that task.  Also the option when creating a new RDOi Filter to specify a task.  I think you're looking for a Filter to wildcard multiple RDOi Tasks?  Can make that suggestion and see how we'd present that in a Filter tree.

Pls keep the suggestions coming...

Release 11.1.0 for plugin coming in November...

Best,
