That's swell Eugene, I love the sync view, but you'll find I was talking
about something sorta different. It really stems from your observant
comment about _editors_. There are sync options that require editing
(or grouping, or whatever). I don't have any trouble with extending the
sync view more, that would be a logical place to do it.
So I assume you favor a pane or some such that splits the view and
contains space for writing log text or whatever? Or what? I was looking
more for ideas, like specific ideas, vs. another general idea. Sure we
have a sync view, and that is a logical place to put sync related info,
but *how* would you use the sync view instead of the dialogs or a
different view or whatever? See what I mean? Looking for actual ideas
that could have pro's and con's discussed and whatnot.
Like, what you could have said was, "Hey, I understand what you are
talking about with the modal dialogs and such, and I've been thinking
about it too, and I think that the commit dialog could be a split pane
in the sync view vs. the current dialog." I doubt that's what you
meant, but you get the drift... or "I happen to really like the modal
dialogs and think they should stay" or whatever...
I don't think we have to do everything the way CVS does it either, so
I'm not gonna say something is good just because that's the way it's
been done before, or whatever. I'm looking for practical, intuitive,
whatnot. Same crap everyone wants. Not that I'd do anything with any
practical ideas or whatever, I just wanted to see what you thought.
Seriously tho, ya know, actual "we could do it like this, or like that,
or like this and uh" type suggestions. So they could be torn apart or
whatever and I'd get some knowledge and maybe we'd come up with ideas
that are in the middle enough so they're useful to a wide audience and
don't go against the grain of SVN and whatnot.
I know you've got some ideas Eugene, if you aren't too invested in them,
I'd like to hear what you got...
Thanks!
