RE: There's gotta be an easier way... -- WDSCI-L

There isn't a quick an easy pop-up where you can enter
<system>lib/sourceFile(member) in WDSc yet - unlike CODE, at least that is
what has been said by the WDSc developers.  What I have done is created a
'Library Filter' for each library that I have source in and work with on a
regular basis (9 total library filters).  Then when I want to edit a source
member I go to the particular filter and right click on the library Expand
To->Source Files.  This will bring up all of the source physical files in
this library.  Now just click on the source file and then member that you
want to edit.

I can do all this in about 10 seconds.  Not nearly as fast as being able to
type in your SEURPG4 command, but it works well.  It has been suggested that
somebody create a plugin to do this because it would be relatively simple to
write.  

Hope that helps,
Aaron Bartell

Hi, sorry for the newbie question, today is my first day using WDSC.

Is there an easy way to open up the source member that I want to work
with?  Right now, this is what I have to do:

    1) Start Websphere Dev Studio Client
    2) click "Work with Members"
    3) type in the library/file/member that I want.   This dialog is
         awkward as hell, because I continually accidentally end
         up on the browse buttons.
    4) click "next".
    5) Now I have to type a filter name & click finish
    6) Now I have to scroll down to where it added the
         filter, and double-click the member name.

Another way that I've found is to go to the "User Libraries" item, expand
that (takes a few seconds) then go to the source library, expand that
(takes quite awhile) then go to the source file, expand that (takes quite
awhile) and finally scroll down to the member that I want.  Total time,
about 5 minutes just go get the member open.

Both of these options are INCREDIBLY awkward.

I have SEU shortcut commands that I can just type "SEURPG4 <membername>"
and get the exact member that I want in a fraction of a second.

There's GOT to be a way to open up a member that's comparably easy & fast
in WDSC, right?   (Please say yes!)
