Re[2]: [TSVN] Please suggest button name

Could you, instead of making a button to paste in all the filenames,
make it so that double-clicking on a filename (ie, default context
menu option) will paste that filename into the log message box?

And that the user can select more than one filename from the list, and
they will be added to the box in a comma-separated fashion, starting
with, say, an asterisk (for a bullet point), and ending with a colon
and a space?

I find that I rarely want to comment on all files.

I also find that when I want to make a comment about a change, that
change more often than not affects a bunch of files, not just one, so
it would be more efficient to select the ones that I want, comment,
and then select the next batch. That is, instead of adding the whole
lot, then cutting and pasting the filenames around inside the box to
get them grouped how I might want.

This also sidesteps the necessity for a button on the commit dialogue
- I seem to remember trying to get you to add a button someplace else
was *hard* (and so far unsuccessful :-( ).
