[dev sep 26] After using the Search tool, I see in my user dir a file: system/Windows/WindowManager/Editing/Search Results.wsmode The filename here is I believe a localized string, which is not good (imagine it being in Japanese on an operating system which does not support non-ASCII characters in filenames). There seems to be some system in the winsys for making a "safe" filename for top components (system/Windows/Components/*.settings); cannot this also be used for modes (*.wsmode and sister directories)?
Safe filenames are now used for modes and workspaces. However, if search results wants to have unlocalized mode name, they have to provide one, either in xml layer or in direct mode creation through open API.
Fixed long ago.
Specifically: the string "Search Results" is *both* the hardcoded code name for the mode (ugly but true) and the English localization of that. See ResultViewTopComponent.MODE_NAME its constructor: setName(NbBundle.getBundle(ResultViewTopComponent.class).getString("TEXT_TITLE_SEARCH_RESULTS")); // NOI18N and also SearchPerformer: m = w.createMode(ResultViewTopComponent.MODE_NAME, resultWindow.getName(), null);
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
