Description Martin Entlicher 2003-10-20 18:39:46 UTC

The process, that automatically fills in the
recognized configuration is slow and therefore
easily gets into conflict with the data submitted
by the user. This makes the configuration process
very problematic.

Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2003-10-20 18:41:14 UTC

This is especially a problem of PVCS integration, but needs to be
solved in general.

Comment 2 Jiri Kovalsky 2003-10-20 21:29:17 UTC

Yes, this is also a testability issue.

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2003-10-23 10:38:10 UTC

The problem is, that the user must have some feedback. It must be
visible, that something is happening and that the user should not
modify the data in the customizer until the auto-fill action is done.

It's possible to present a dialog like "Please wait..." with a cancel
button whenever the auto-fill task starts. However the dialog can
popup too often and therefore be too offensive.

Another option is to add a special button to the dialog that will fill
the working directory on demand (and also present the "Please wait..."
dialog. Comments?

Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2003-10-24 14:17:05 UTC

For the purpose of emergency fix I suggest to remove the AUTO_FILL
facility from PVCS profile completely. The proper fix will require a
UI change.

Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2004-02-27 12:03:37 UTC

*** Issue 39053 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***

Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2004-02-27 12:05:44 UTC

Also, as described in issue #39053, when a different profile is
selected before the auto-fill process fills the variables, the new
profile will have set variables of the old one.

Comment 7 Martin Entlicher 2004-02-27 12:08:18 UTC

A UI change is necessary, scheduling for promotion D.

Comment 8 Martin Entlicher 2004-05-06 14:03:14 UTC

After issue #34630 was fixed, this issue might not be so hot.

Comment 9 Martin Entlicher 2004-05-17 11:45:11 UTC

After the performance of PCLI commands was significantly improved, the
fields are filled almost immediately.
Therefore I'm closing this as wontfix.
