I found out that it will be very nice if I can edit property" Broken Link Filesystem" of DataShadow object. On linux is common to suply existing path by soft links which I do very often, so that's my source of that needs. 'casue if I had to move something to another location I create a link to not break any links to it, but ide (java) cann't handle those soft links in general. So I welcome if those disadvantage I can handle manualy. The same I have to do for cvs FSs (otherwise they don't work), but they have r/w property "Working Directory" thanks for implementating this
I would mark this WONTFIX as it is not clear what kind of UI you would need. In general not just the filesystem but also relative path needs to change. And these need to change together. Much simpler to just delete the links and make new ones IMHO.
Pls, don't close it. Realy I will appreceate the solution (I have tens of links and who will look around them on FS and create them again, rename them, etc.? For me is better to fix property path for FS and then for links. eh, I'm sorry I don't understand you what you mean by this: -"it is not clear what kind of UI you would need" Probably I can edit properties of broken links The problem is that propertis "Original FS name" for healthy links "Broken Link Filesystem" aren't synchronized with the current FS. I expect and wish if I have FS(which is properly mounted) eg. ~/QA java expand this path to /home/dmladek/public/QA and later I decide somehow change the path (many various reasons) so that the real path (how java will interpret it) is /home.system/dmladek/public/QA (But I can still point to that dir with the original path: ~/QA) In Ide the FS is "broken" and the links are broken. But NOW I expect that when I correct the path of the FS that start to point to /home.system/dmladek/public/QA , I can correct "Broken Link FS" if it couldn't be done automaticaly (and I could be IMHO, ide nows matching FS and links). Is this clearer? Dan
Moved to data systems.
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
giving up, reassigning to Petr
Set target milestone to TBD
Changed owner David S. -> David K.
Changing TM to FUTURE for several DataSystem enhancements. The DS are planned for rewrite and so it does not make sense to invest time into these enhancements. If you think the issue is important and should be fixed for 4.0 then feel free to let me know. I'm open to change the plan.
Meaningless in D.
