Hi David,

In fact, it does trigger the background-parser, I had disabled
"Schedule all project files for parsing"
option in general settings.

With that option checked, control flow graph plugin triggers
background parser since it shares
usescollector class from context browser so that both present uses consistently.

I just need to use this also when generating graphs for the entire
class and project, I'm working
on this now.

Thanks,
Sandro
