ADT: Change default action performed for "open" on a table

Hello,

I am using ADT 3.0.2 with a 7.40 backend.

In the right-click menu on a table in the project explorer we have the choice between open and in the submenu open with - open with SAPGUI and open with Data Preview.

Currently the default action when performing open is the open with SAPGUI.

I would like to change it to Data Preview. Is this possible and how ?

I hope it is possible. It would be yet another small step towards the big goal of using less SAPGUI and more ADT in Eclipse.

Thanks

Denis

Hi Denis,

The default action for opening any ABAP Object is to open in its respective editor. If the native/eclipse editor does not exist based on backend version and client version then, it is opened in SAPGUI editor.

Now, in new backend release, the table has its own native/eclipse editor. SAP ADT team is moving towards the goal of having a native/eclipse based editor for all possible ABAP object types. The team is dealing with the object types one by one and they have already achieved it for the table.

In fact, for SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment systems which always has the latest backend version, SAPGUI cannot be used at all. ADT has to be used for ABAP development.

Thanks, and Best Regards,

Gopal
