Description dmladek 2003-09-15 10:12:19 UTC
Description:
=============
There's occurred several voices for such enhancement:

Simply, to have a possibility perform various CVS
commands on the previous CVS command's result
which is displayed in CVS command output's dialogs
such a "CVS Output [Status ] " dialog, etc.

there were calls mainly for reasonable commands like:
update/checkout, diff, commit

But there could exist some user workflows which
might require others commands. Just now, I could
see  Add command for instance, too. So thus,
Have a general way how to invoke any of available
CVS commands, not only mentioned ones.
---------------------------------------------------

This will probably need deeper UI analyze, how to
build into already working CVS Output's dialogs
other GUI elements which will allow to a user
perform CVS operations(actions/commands) over such
CVS results.

Those results are usually parsed and displayed in
some kinds of trees and tables.
A User there could make selections of individual
files and revisions, etc...

So, I have an idea to take into the account such
selection and offer it to user in some kind of
advance dialog which she will invoke by choosing
some CVS command from the current CVS result
(Output dialog).
A User then could modify/elaborate such command
and perform it.
----------------------------------------------------

Problems:
=========
There occurred 2 problems:
-How to allow user invoke another CVS command from
 the dialog. Possibilities I can see, are:
  *via popup menu
  *via drop down list (like "Run CVS Commands" 
   dialog already has it implemented.
  *have some button(s) for that
-How to handle the original CVS Output dialog and
 the new one. Maybe that's not such problem 'cause
 a user can performs several cvs actions which
 have their results parsed into Outputs
 dialogs, and those outputs are then tabbed in one
 window.

There's another dup: issue #19676

Scheduling for future.
It would be nice to have this in 4.0, but we can start to work on this
after all basic requirements for 4.0 are implemented. This definitely
needs a UI design.
