Bug report, StarUML v5.1: Hyperlink annotation doesn't select the diagrams in explorer. It just opens them.

[Vasileios Pothos]

Issue title: Hyperlink annotation doesn't select the diagrams in explorer. It just opens them.

Environment: Windows 10 Home, StarUML v5.1

Action performed:

1. Open the attached BugDemo-HyperlinkIssue.mdj

2. Open the Overview-Diagram diagram. There are 3 hyperlinks.

3. Make visible the Markdown Documentation panel of StarUML.

4. Double click on the Process 1 hyperlink. It selects the linked component in the explorer and shows it's description "This is process 1" in the Markdown Documentation panel.

5. Double click on the Process 2 hyperlink. It selects the linked component in the explorer and shows it's description "This is process 2" in the Markdown Documentation panel.

6. Double click on the "Flowchart-Diagram" hyperlink. It opens the "Flowchart-Diagram" in the screen, but it does not select it in the explorer, neither shows it's markdown documentation in the corresponding panel.

Expected Result: Open the "Flowchart-Diagram" diagram and selected it in the explorer, and by doing so to show also it's documentation "This is the flow chart diagram of the bug demonstration" in the markdown documentation panel, as it is happening when we double clicked on the first two hyperlinks.

Actual Results: It just opens the diagram and "Flowchart-Diagram" diagram. If you need to see it's documentation you have to search the diagram in order to select it!!!

Supplements:

- Attached file: BugDemo-HyperlinkIssue.mdj

To my understanding hyperlinks double click, selects the models/components updating the markdown documentation panel with their information (change focus on them), but when it links to diagrams (components with green icons) it just opens them and then it stops. This seems like a bug, because after opening it should continue and select them in the explorer and update MD panel (it should continue the focus on them). And it's really annoying because in complex models hyperlinks to diagrams doesn't help to quick read their data.

Hi,

It is not a bug. It is intended action to open the diagram if the hyperlink is pointing to a diagram. Many users wanted to open the diagram rather than just select the diagram.

Thanks,

Hi,

I agree that it should open the diagram as it does now, but I believe it should also select it too thus to provide all the relative information and have a consistent behavior.

Thus I guess it should be not an "OR" case (open OR select; thus we choose open only) but an "AND" case (open AND select). That's at least seems something to work "as expected" to me.

Thanks.

It makes sense that both select and open are supported. I just posted this issue in the our main issue tracking system.

Thanks,
