RE: [TSVN] suggestion: repo-browser dialog starts empty, but it ought to be initialized with file-path to selected file repository

Functionality could probably be augmented to also cover server based
repository-paths:
a) Have a shortcut to your server or file repository.
b) Select it.
c) Right-click->TortoiseSVN->repo-browser
  =>
The path to the repository on the server (or file, whichever applies) is
extracted from the short-cut and pasted into the repo-dialog. Similarly
to what is described below with file repositories.
In case you have many repositories (file or server based), this could
definitely be handy,,, I imagine.

Thanks, Henning

Subject: [TSVN] suggestion: repo-browser dialog starts empty, but it
ought to be initialized with file-path to selected file repository

Hello,

I have a suggestion to improve ease of use and to give a more intuitive
behaviour to the repo-browser dialog:

When starting repo-browser (right-click->TortoiseSVN->repo-browser), the
path in the dialog is initially empty. Recent repositories are in the
combo-stack ready for selection.

This could with advantages be changed to..

IF ( a single folder is selected at the moment of right-click )
THEN the path is filled in with the full file-path to that folder.

The nice thing would be that it is an intuitive behaviour and it would
be saving a lot of typing.

Admitted, it's only of any use if you use file repositories, but on the
other hand it is not a disadvantage if you don't use those. So it's a
net gain in ease-of_use.

It's kind of similar to the check-out dialog where the checkout
directory path is pre-filled with the selected folder.
It would probably be best to have the file repository path initially
selected (as in repository path in checkout dialog) such that it does
not require explicit deletion in case you have to type a server path.

What do you think?
