----------------------------------------
Summary: Enhance default editor mappings for eDirectory/Identity
Manager
Key: DIRSTUDIO-1177
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-1177
Project: Directory Studio
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: studio-ldapbrowser
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M13
Reporter: Lothar Haeger
Apache Studio is very popular amongst developers/consultants/admins working
with Novell/NetIQ/Micro Focus Identity Manager (IDM). IDM uses eDirectory as
it's backend data store and has a lot of product-specific attributes in Octet
String syntax that contain XML text.
By default those attribute's contents is displayed in LDAP Browser as "Binary
Data (12345 Bytes)" or similar because the default editor is chosen based on
attribute syntax and does not recognize it's UTF text. A double-click on the
attribute value will open Hex Editor, which then allows to switch to Text
Editor to actually read/edit the value.
I know I can change the default editors in preferences for each of the many
Studio instances I use, but it would be much easier if Studio would default to
the best fitting editor right away.
Here's a visual of the difference: https://youtu.be/azCwgjUOynM
Is there a way to enhance the default attribute-to-editor mapping and tell
Studio to open those approx. 20 attributes with Text Editor immediately? Any
hint on where in the code the default mapping are defined?
