I filed <rdar://problem/17316587> on this back in the early Xcode 6 betas. That bug is still open, as far as RadarWeb tells me.
The Jump Bar icon is not an adequate replacement because: - It doesn't contain a proxy icon for the workspace - It removes the workspace from the top of the window, which is especially important if you have multiple workspaces open (merging a change down to a branch, for example) - If the last segment of the Jump Bar gets too long, the file segment truncates - Even if it doesn't truncate, it moves around, making answering the question "what file am I looking at?" require a visual hunt around the screen - It breaks the visual connection between the Window menu/Mission Control and the window itself Here's hoping the Xcode team realizes that, since Xcode is a document-based app, it should behave like other document-based apps and keep its proxy icon. --Kyle Sluder On Mon, Oct 20, 2014, at 06:05 PM, Rick Mann wrote: > > > On Oct 20, 2014, at 15:55 , Mike Swingler <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Can't you just drag the icon directly from the editor jump bar, right into > > Terminal? > > > > The file icons in the jump bar should behave just like the window file > > proxy icons did.
