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.
