How do you export a selection of files from the Synchronize view in Eclipse?
eclipse
Solution
It's not on the context menu, but going to the Navigate menu up top and selecting "Show In->Navigator" will apply that selection. Whether or not you can export just the selected files, I don't know.
Problem
Sometimes I have made some local changes and for whatever reason don't want to commit them to the source repository. In this case I like to zip up and save off my changes on my local file system until I am ready to commit them at a later date. I recall that in an earlier version of eclipse, there was a context sensitive action from the Synchronize view that would highlight in the Navigator view the same files that you have selected in the Synchronize view. Then from the Navigator view, you can choose to export the highlighted selection. I don't see where that option is still available from the Synchronize view anymore and manually selecting the files in the Navigator/Package Explorer view is tedious. Is there an easy way to export a selection of files within the Synchronize view?
