[BUG] "File Type Switcher" icon does not show

[albertomozzone-spaceinformatica]

Plugin Name

File Type Switcher

Plugin Version

2025.1.4

IDE Version

Intellij IDEA 2025.3

Issue Description

Hi,
I just installed the plugin and noticed two problems:

1. the icon is not shown in XML files (which happen to be MyBatis' mappers).
2. the icon is shown in Java files, but the menu is displayed to the far right of Idea's window.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a Java project.
Add 2 Java source files and put them side to side in Idea's window.
Add 1 MyBatis XML mapper file and put it above the others in Idea's window.
Observe that:

• icons are shown on Java files only.
• click on icon: the menu is shown too much on the right.

Hi Alberto!

Thanks for the detailed bug report! I've looked into both issues:

1. The icon not showing up in XML files - looks like a file type detection problem
2. The popup appearing way off to the right - definitely a positioning bug

I'll fix these ASAP and push an update. Thanks for using the plugin!

Hi Alberto!

Great news - version 3.0.0 is now available with both issues fixed! 🎉

What's fixed:

1. ✅ Popup menu positioning - now appears correctly under the icon
2. ✅ Icon visibility in XML files - now shows up properly

Bonus improvements:

• Current file type is marked with a checkmark (✓) in the menu
• Smarter type listing with most relevant options at the top

You can update the plugin through the IDE's plugin manager or download it from the JetBrains Marketplace.

Could you please test it and let me know if everything works well for you? Your feedback helps us make the plugin better!

Thanks again for reporting these issues! 🙏

Hi @meanmail ,
Popup menu positioning is solved!

Icon visibility in XML files still is problematic: the icon doesn't show up in XML files: I tried on a simple "<root />" XML file too.

Please note that, after having installed the plugin, I had to "Invalidate Caches" (and "Restart") before seeing it in action.

Thanks!
