Description Jesse Glick 2006-10-25 15:48:24 UTC
Regression from 5.x: when opening a class by name there is no way to see which
version you are opening, in case it exists in multiple source roots (e.g.
checkouts of different CVS branches).

Also a nit: the dialog should be named "Go to Type", not "Go To Type". The menu
item is correctly named.
Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2006-10-25 15:49:42 UTC
List of classes also should use proportional font, not monospaced which looks
ugly in this context and makes it impossible to display many characters in the
limited horizontal space.
Comment 2 Petr Hrebejk 2006-10-25 17:05:44 UTC
Dialog renamed

Comment 3 Petr Hrebejk 2006-10-25 17:09:08 UTC
Ad: Fixed font. Preliminary decision (after consultation with HIE) to use the
editor fonts in dialogs and otlines bound to the editor. 

Ad: Location: Use tooltip. It sows where it is from. The case where you have
more projects from more checkouts should not be that frequent by "normal"
developers. So this was pcked as solution for now. Notice that the window now
shows project the file is from by default, which should be what most users want
to know.

Will create a task for HIE and make all such bugas duplicate to it. In order to
have them reviewd the things before release.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2006-10-25 17:56:02 UTC
Re. fixed font - OK, just saying it looks really ugly to me.

Re. lack of Location field - I don't want to use any tooltip; I want to use the
keyboard. Displaying the project name may help in some cases, but not when the
class is available from two CVS branches of the same project, assuming the
project display name has not changed recently. A simple file location tells me
everything I need to know, quickly and without having to look for it.
Comment 5 Petr Hrebejk 2006-11-06 16:27:45 UTC
Location field added. Issue put into HIE umbrella task.
