Hi Steve Nice progress on the browse command. I have some comments, suggestions and ideas for guiding this in the direction I would like to see it (which isn't necessarily the same as you or others). Don't take them too seriously; I know it's prototype development :)
1. I'm able to browse freely outside the repo. Is that on purpose? Of course see point 2 below. 2. On the long term, I'd still like this integrated in the history viewer, but not just as a working dir browser. Rather as a browser of the manifest at a given revision, a special case of which would be the 'next commit' revision, i.e. working copy. Just so you keep it in mind for your design, e.g. make the source of directory data abstract and not hard-coded to filesystem. 3. When changing directory, focus should be restored to the listview, at the top element for instance. The current behavior where I need to press an arrow key, makes bunny cry. 4. The icons are quite possibly the ugliest I have ever seen :-p. 5. On the long term, some more 'midnight commander' ish information will probably be nice, e.g. file size. Also, obviously file actions like view file, diff etc., but this should be pretty much like in the commit and history dialogs. 6. Maybe we should have some more design discussions for the GUI in general? I mostly mean overall structure; what goes where and how are things connected :-). It's not that I think we necessarily disagree among developers, but just to get some more eyes on things :-). Of course this email can be the start of such a thread. /Sune ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list Tortoisehg-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
