Feature request: Support category types in category settings #15

Closed andydandy74 closed 7 years ago

andydandy74 commented 7 years ago

Currently, when saving a complete subtree of categories (e.g. model elements), the settings file stores every category. When loading that setting, the checkbox of that subtree is unchecked (which is confusing to users): metamorphosissavedcategories My proposal would be the following: If an entire subtree is selected, do not save every category of that subtree in the settings file. Instead save the CategoryType using its enum value of CategoryType (http://www.revitapidocs.com/2017/eb96f224-a134-50e6-57e8-32bcb13bee7d.htm). This would also be more robust in terms of dealing with potential category changes in the Revit data model in future Revit versions.

Andreas - check out the new update, I've done more or less what you suggested... If you pick at the CategoryType level, we store that, and restore that checkbox.

That fixed it. Thanks Matt.
