2. Thanks! Great to hear. 3. One of my use cases would be to generate metrics for all reviews on my server. We don’t use review groups at all. Since our Review Board server is only used by my coworkers, I’d be content with a “select all” type of option for the reports. It might be useful for me to be able to select one, many, or all repositories for the reports as well. 4. PIL-1.1.7-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg is installed in the python 2.6 site packages directory. I believe that it was installed as part of installing Review Board. (When I launch python on the server as myself, I can import the Image module without errors.)
Thanks, Terry From: reviewboard@googlegroups.com [mailto:reviewboard@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Trowbridge Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2015 7:14 PM To: reviewboard@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: PowerPack 1.1.0 (RB 1.7.27) questions Terry, Answers below. Just a note that we're also happy to answer Power Pack questions at supp...@beanbaginc.com<mailto:supp...@beanbaginc.com> 2) Are there any plans to support MS Office file formats natively? Instead of having to convert to PDF? Yes! This is something we've been investigating for a while, and hopefully we'll have an answer soon. 3) When generating reports, Is there a way to specify “all” or a “group” of people? This would be very helpful for generating organizational Time to First and Time to Close reports. Right now, this is oriented towards the use of review groups (via the "to groups" field). We have plans to improve the selection abilities of reports in a future release--if there are specific ways that you'd like to be able to choose data, we'd love to hear it. 4) When I attach a PDF, I don’t see a thumbnail of the file. Instead, all I see is a triange with an exclamation mark. The server log has a number of these messages: - PDF Review UI: Could not convert thumbnailData to stored image for file attachment comment 200: decoder zip not available Failed to convert data uri to image: decoder zip not available. None - terrence.j.dunnigan - /reviews/api/review-requests/2707/file-attachments/754/ - Failed to store thumbnail for attachment 754: decoder zip not available This looks like there's a problem with your PIL or Pillow library. Can you check to see whether it's PIL or Pillow that's installed, and confirm for me how it was installed? 5) The server log is also logging errors (dozens of errors daily) for all other peer reviews with file attachments: Unable to load review UI for Test Plan.docx: PDFReviewUI: rejecting document Test Plan.docx because of incorrect extension Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.7.27-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/reviews/ui/base.py", line 222, in for_type return handler(attachment.get_review_request(), attachment) File "build/bdist.macosx-10.10-intel/egg/rbpowerpack/pdf/reviewui.py", line 32, in __init__ Exception: PDFReviewUI: rejecting document Test Plan.docx because of incorrect extension That is quite noisy! I'll see what I can do to improve this. 6) Just a general observation when viewing PDFs – clicking on the title of the PDF opens the PDF itself whereas clicking on the thumbnail opens the review interface. That surprised me. Also, when you are in the review interface, it’s not clear how to get back to the review itself. I wish the GUI had a back button or something. (Perhaps this is improved in RB 2.x?) This is indeed improved a bit in 2.x (where you'll see the usual "View Diff" / "View Reviews" links at the top). The file attachment boxes and the links therein are still a bit wonky, but we hope to improve this soon. Thanks for the feedback!
