Perhaps it would be useful to change the link name to 'All Files', or add a note on the resulting page indicating "you are viewing all files from beginning of project". I like that the Files link shows all files. How else do I find that old file from ... uhh, I remember I wrote it and deleted it about, hmmm, three months ago ? But now I want to take a look at it again. (a rephrasing of drh's point above). I find this very useful behaviour. I don't want to start looking through version (check-in) after version (timeline -> version -> files) to find some file from the past. If I am looking at a particular version, only those files (from that check-in) will show anyway (again, as previously pointed out by drh). ~Michael _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
