Workspace is getting deleted after un-installing Designer on Linux
Last modified: 2011-06-04 03:39:22 UTC
When un-installing Designer on Linux, the workspace is removed along with the installation directory. Steps to duplicate: 1.) Integration Build 20050113 3.) Any Linux Distro 4.) Install Designer as a regular user 5.) Your installation location should be "/home/user/designer" 6.) Launch Designer 7.) Create a project 8.) Your workspace location should be "home/user/designer/eclipse/workspace" 9.) Uninstall Designer 10.) You should see that the "/home/user/designer/" directory and all sub-directories are gone. Expected: On Linux we install the workspace a few levels deeper than the program files. When we do the uninstall we should preserve the designer/eclipse/workspace directories and all the contents in workspace. However, we should clean everything else out of the designer and eclipse directories.
Fixed with task 129964. Uninstall will leave out workspace..
Included in designer build 20050121
Regressed 20050121.
Rejesh, You corrected the problem on Linux with removing the "home/user/designer/eclipse/workspace" workspace location. However, you are now defaulting the workspace location to: /home/user/My Documents/designer/eclipse/workspace Expected: It should be set to: /home/user/designer/eclipse/workspace It should also the above directory (which you already have corrected).
This will not happen any more unless the user places their workspace under the Designer directory. If they do that, then they must want it uninstalled anyway. The last comment is related to another bug, bug #70916
Regressed 20050315a.
Adding built keyword.
