Description swpalmer 2009-02-20 20:07:12 UTC

I frequently have multiple projects open at once.  Often a some libraries and the application that uses them.  The 
versioning window for Subversion (and possibly others VCS?) only allows me to show changes for one project at a time.  
Not only that, but by doing so it limits my ability to do atomic commits with the NB UI.  If I make a change to a 
library and requires changes in my application they cannot be part of the same commit because the versioning UI is too 
restrictive.

The versioning view operates on selected context. If you select multiple projects (by clicking with Ctrl on project
nodes) and then select Subversion -> Show Changes from a pop-up menu, it should open all changes in the current context
(and allow you to commit changes for those projects). Are you sure you have tried that?

Comment 2 swpalmer 2009-02-20 23:29:44 UTC

Yes, I tried that.  When I selected multiple projects there was no "Subversion" item in the pop-up menu.

I am sorry, i don't know what the problem could be. It works on my projects.
Could you please zip and email me two of your projects which don't show the subversion pop-up menu if selected concurrently.
Or at least project folders without the source files if you don't want me to browse your sources?

If selected as a single, the Subversion pop-up menu is visible on each project?
What build do you use? Could you also attach the message log?

Thanks

Ah, nevermind I see that one of the selected projects was not in Subversion, apparently that makes the Subversion menu 
not show up.

I still find the Show Changes feature tedious to use.  I want it to be automatic.  I want a more global Show Changes 
window where all projects that are in Subversion are automatically included.  It should be dynamic as I load and unload 
projects.

Changing to an enhancement request.
