The only part I can comment on is the WDSCi update . Don't use it. Only 
use the install manager. I'm not sure about your other problems. sorry.

[WDSCI-L] Issues with WDSCi 7






Version: 7.0.0
Build id: 20070202_0030
 
I've experienced 3 odd things today.
 
1.  I've started creating new source members through the RSE.  Works
great.  However one time after creating a new member, all the source
members under the filter I was creating it under disappeared.  There was
a blank space in the explorer where the members normally were.  To get
it to come back I had to refresh the member.
 
2.  Sometimes I cannot double-click open a source member.  When that
happens and I right-click the source member, I do not get "Open With" or
"Browse With" as options.  I'm not entirely sure when this is happening,
though I have a feeling it happens after I create a new member through
RSE.
 
3.  Today I experienced an issue where all of a sudden a souce I had
open gave a warning before I could save it.  When I said replace remote
with my changes, it didn't save.  From then on I'd click Save but no
save was happening.  If I closed the member and opened it again, I'd
open with pending changes.  I'd try and save, but they wouldn't save.
Eventually I disconnected from the server, reconnected, opened the
member up w/o pending changes (pasted my changes in) and then the save
worked.
 
A critique:
The update manager in WDSCi is killing me.  It's taking forever and it
keeps hammering me with mirror site selections (when I don't care what
site it is using).  (As I was writing the email, it finally finished,
and gave me an error saying my Shared Package folder was not updatable.)
According to the Install Manager I'm up-to-date, but the WDSCi Update
Manager found some Eclipse updates.
 
A compliment:
The filter in Windows Preferences is amazing.  Thank you!
