Re: [TSVN] Some requests (long)

Yo.

I'll add issues later tonight or tomorrow, when I get a little more time.
If noone else has already done it by that time.

Until then here's some random feedback.

Happy easter!

So there is. Whether Fernando can see what he wants I can't answer.

A "show log" entry when right-clicking in the "show log" dialog? No.
A "show log" entry when right-clicking a file in the "update" dialog? No.

Either way, TSVN is inconsistent.
It should probably have been mentioned that navigating to the "Show Log"
button and pressing ENTER actually opens the "Show Log" dialog - it doesn't
close the current "update" dialog.

And I've never seen the ENTER key as a standard key for closing a dialog -
why do you think that's standard behaviour?

Right, that would be extremely annoying.

Adding the 'Open' item (but not as default action) would be good for
consistency though, seeing as it's already there for the versioned items.

One could ask the question why the ability to ignore 2 or more files
in one shebang is possible in the Explorer-integration part of the UI,
then.

When I wrote that I thought we were still in the 'commit' dialog, and F.
wanted to have unversioned files committed automatically. FYI, I'll just
change any vote I might or might not have on this one to +/- 0.
