There is no such API yet. Why do you need it?

Problem : additional fold regions, created/added with the code below,
disappear when you close the editor.

Question: how to make them permanent, like the system "Fold Selection"
(for example)?

1/
Without this, the whole CamouflagePlugin is on one leg: as soon as you close an editor, all the manually added "camouflages" are lost. So, it's kind of half useless and half pointless.

I implemented :
Fold selection : add a dialog to enter/replace the default placeholder
http://www.intellij.net/tracker/idea/viewSCR?publicId=19850
, that overrides the default behaviour.

It's as useful a feature as it was trivial to implement
- intercept the default action
- pop-up a dialog
- fold the selected region, with the entered text as placeholder

, but the result is as useless as it can be : as soon as you close the editor panel, you loose the comment and the folding you've just created.

As you can see, I really need it. Please, open it.

I guess you mean
no "Published" API

, as IDEA fold regions are permanent, even when added by the user (with
"Fold Selection").

Any comment on my reply?
