[rkward-devel] Workspace Window, now with mockup.

[Thomas Friedrichsmeier]

Hi,

ok, so I have now pushed the first "complete" draft of the Workspace
browser including search functionality into git master. (I'm sure you'll
find some details to improve, though).

Removed, now, as part of quite a bit of internal restructuring. For
varselectors it is still in the context menu.

The following settings are not saved at all:
 - Show all environments
 - Search string
 - Fields to search in
 - Show all objects (vs. functions vs. non-functions)
They do persist within the entire session (workspace tool window), or
the lifetime of the plugin dialog (varselector), though. I'm not sure,
whether or not this is entirely desirable. For instance, should you
forget to go back to "Show all objects", and collapse the filter
options, it will be a bit hard to discover what's wrong.

The following settings are saved _implicitly_:
 - Show hidden objects
 - Columns to show
If you change the setting, and quit RKWard, it will be restored in the
same way on the next start. These are stored separately for tool window
and varselector.

One thing that I'm not entirely happy with (perhaps you have an idea)
is searching/filtering in varselectors: Showing the filter controls
permanently, did not look like a good idea, here. They can be activated
from the context-menu. Is this discoverable enough?

Regards
Thomas
