Description jhoffman 2000-11-07 22:23:07 UTC

When users were asked to find source control information (for example, the
number of revisions) on a file, three of five looked in the file properties
window.

This suggests that including a link to important information like the
revision of the file and the current branch from the properties of a node
would be helpful.

Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2000-11-09 14:02:59 UTC

Do you have any idea, how the properties should look like when the node contains
more files (i.e. .java & .form) ?

I think, that UI team should tell us their opinion.

This will probably need an Open API change, so I need to know how it should work
before I'll ask for API support.

Comment 2 dmladek 2001-02-05 12:57:59 UTC

Automaticaly changed Version from "Other" to "Dev"
Version "Other" is nonsence

Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2001-04-26 11:30:21 UTC

Could be implemented if a special "Versioning" tab will be created in the
Explorer.

Comment 4 Martin Entlicher 2001-08-20 16:25:30 UTC

It's fixed by the Versioning Explorer. There are properties with VCS
status information for each file.

Comment 5 Jiri Kovalsky 2001-11-01 10:18:43 UTC

I believe users will appreciate "Versioning Explorer" feature. Verifi-
ed in development build of NetBeans 3.3 #200111010100.
