annotations in OMEdit

[anonymous]

I remember some discussion about hiding, or at least greying, annotations to make "operational" Modelica code more visible.
But now cannot find the related ticket.
Nor can I find in OMEdit (v1.11.0-dev-267-gbe0978f) any setting to hide or dim (i.e. grey) annotations. Is there something in place?
Maybe a button or a context menu item to toggle between view/hide (or view/dim) annotations would do the job.

This point is discussed in the comments of #3724.

See #2233.
We already have folding annotations support for multi-line annotations. Recently we have also updated so OpenModelica by default generate multi-line annotations.

What this ticket asked did not refer to folding.
The issue I wanted to address is that annotations, which carry supplemental information, tend to hide the most important part of modelica code especially when they are very long. It would be very useful for me to have a toggle to show/hide annotations, or, according to what is preferred,to show/dim them. By dim I intend to show them lighter (e.g. greyed).
There must be somewhere a ticket (I don't remember which) where another user strongly supports this idea.

as I said already above, see #3724, specifically comment 6.

We can't just simply remove/hide annotations from the text because we need to map errors to the line numbers.

The folding is enabled by default so your code looks like this,

model N
  M m1 annotation( ...);
end N;

instead of,

model N
  M m1 annotation(
    Placement(visible = true, transformation(origin = {-74, 50}, extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}}, rotation = 0)));
end N;

I see...
But this is not what happens on the following release:

OMEdit v1.12.0-dev-40-g0af374d (64-bit)
Connected to v1.12.0-dev-54-gc3e6c1b (64-bit)

which is very recent. In this, all annotations are unfolded.
I checked on an older version (OMEdit 1.11.0-dev-188 connected to OM 1.11.0-dev-203). There everything is very good, exactly as you showed.
