In the Lotus Notes Domino Designer there is a cool feature called Manage Working Sets, this is a tool that allows you to organize all of your Lotus Notes applications but this tool is stored locally (no on the server). If you are getting a new computer or want to do a clean install of the Lotus Notes client you will have to rebuild this list, which is no fun.
Location of the “workingsets.xml” file:
\IBM\Lotus\Notes\Data\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench
Just move this file from your current install to the new. I hope this saves someone some time like it did me.
IBM Xpages Forum
IBM has always hosted discussion forums for their products where anyone can go there and post & answer questions and search for answers, but they have not changed the look of that discussion forums since 1997. Well with the release of Xpages a few years back I was wondering if they would put their money where their mouth is and release an Xpages based discussion forum. Well they did at the begining of this year and I’m just now taking notice. You can check them out at: Xpages Forum
or use this direct link : http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/xpagesforum.nsf
If you’ve been using Xpages Desginer and strugling with slowness in a dominoView in design or source mode then I have a tip that might help speed things up.
Just to describe the problem a little more; anytime you select a design element or update text it takes anywhere from 2 min to 5 minutes to give you control back to the Lotus Notes Designer. I know this is never mentioned in any of the tutorials because they always give examples of small apps. I run into this when editing an existing xpages custom control that uses dominView tag. Anyway I finally disabled the “data palette” on the right side of the designer. For some reason it takes forever to make changes to xpages that use dominoView when the data palette is enabled and you are dealing with a view that has over 300 documents.
