Re: Feature request: Additional columns in Repo-Browser (again)

Hello,

I just found this thread about the visualization of user defined properties in the repo browser. This is a feature that we also would appreciate very much.
We also thought about the problem with the labeling of work products concerning their life cycle. So far we couldn't find a proper solution with SVN. What we need is to uniquely identify the current state/life cycle of a work package (in our case a file or directory). So we tried to use user defined properties. We only added one for the status, which is sufficient for our needs. This status can be changed to defined values: in process, completed, verified, etc.. This works fine for setting the properties of the single work products.
The problem is only that there is no suitable way to read out this information again. Currently neither the explorer nor the Repo browser is able to show these properties in an extra column. This means that if you want to get an overview over the project and see the state of the single work products you have to do this for each file individually by right click-properties. As this is not manageable for bigger projects it turned out that no one used this.
If now the repo browser could show this it would help a lot.
In my eyes it is no problem that setting a user property leads to a new revision of the object. Normally you change the status when committing the finished version of the object (in process->completed), so a check in is needed anyway. If you change from completed to verified a new object is created but this can be seen as proof that the verificatoin is done.
We also thought about commit comments. For us this is not very useable as we also commit other comments but the status. So it's not so easy to keep the overview and find the status info. Furthermore the log message is based on the revision of the commit content but not on the file or directory as we would need it.
I think there might be more people that would be happy about this feature.

regards Tom

Is it possible to estimate the slow down in a LAN environment?
Or did I miss anything and it has nothing to do with the bandwidth?

That's why I suggested in my first post extra settings, e.g. in the
registry. So it's up to the users if they can accept such a behavior.

Thanks,
George
