Description Jiri Kovalsky 2004-07-20 14:41:49 UTC 
Development build #200407151800 of NetBeans 4.0 
Windows XP, JDK 1.5.0 Beta #58

Description:
============
Currently novice users have low chance to discover
advanced mode of VCS dialogs. It would be good to
have some warning dialog implemented that would
show up when command is being run in simple mode. 

User familiar with this feature could turn the
warning off.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Register some CVS directory in Versioning Manager.
2. Call "Show Versions" on some [Up-to-date] file.
3. Right click its 1.1 revision and pick "Update".
4. Now try to reset this sticky tag. Without
knowledge of advanced mode it's nearly impossible.
Comment 1 Richard Gregor 2004-07-29 08:50:47 UTC 
We discussed this with Jan Rojcek and Arseniy and we agreed that
dialog used in the past in javacvs module would be right solution for now.
Comment 2 Richard Gregor 2004-07-30 13:33:33 UTC 
fixed. Jirko, please adjust the commit validation test. Thanks!

Comment 3 Peter Pis 2004-08-09 16:52:50 UTC 
And what about the commands that don't provide advanced mode. (Like
"Refresh recursively", "Set Password", ...). Maybe it will better to
show dialog about Advanced mode only for the commands that support the
Advanced mode.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2004-08-10 08:50:35 UTC 
Good point. To be honest, I also don't like that global commands use
only CTRL key. In my opinion, advanced mode should be global option
which would influence also global commands. What do others think ?
Comment 5 Richard Gregor 2004-08-11 15:06:15 UTC 
Don't provide advanced mode notification for commmands which don't
have advanced mode.
