Description Monkey D Luffy 2007-07-16 14:09:57 UTC
Version:           1.5.71 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) 
OS:                Linux

When using the Class Diagram in Logical View, it would be nice to be able to click an item, such as a Package or directory, and click on a "Display it..." action.
This would display/draw the item and the first level of dependencies in the Workspace.

I think this is a very convenient feature because when you want to see/edit the relation between items of a Package/directory it wouldn't be necessary to drag-and-drop *all* items, which can reach the dozens!
Restricting to the first level of dependencies allows you to have some hierarchy that is easier to understand and manage (more organization => better understanding).

Ex:
Package Main
- Class A
- Class B
- Interface C
- Package D
-- Class DA
-- Class DB

If you right clicked the item "Package Main" in the Tree View (it would be cool also to do this in the Workspace) and then clicked "Display it" it would be drawn on the Workspace:
- Class A
- Class B
- Interface C
- Package D
As well as the relations between them.


Thanks for Umbrello and for reading this!
Hoping this feature is implemented ;-)

Given the lack of contributors, the best way to make sure this happens is
by implementing it.
