problem with search history reported in issue #88304 When I click on "Versioning | Search "Test.java" History" I expect that one way or another I'll be able to browse through the history of changes for "Test.java". > Expanding the revision numbers you can select two desired "Test.java" file in > particular revision. It doesn't work. Suppose that revision 3 has committed 4 files. So, I see something like the following in the "Summary" tab: 3 luser <some date here> <Comment message for revision 3 commit> [Diff] [Revert] A.java B.java C.txt Test.java 2 luser <some date here> <Comment message for revision 2 commit> [Diff] [Revert] D.java Test.java Z.java Selecting "Test.java" from the list above and then clicking on the respective [Diff] will not get me the diff between 2 revisions of "Test.java". Instead, NB appears to always show the diff for the first file in the list, in this case, that will be "A.java". Clicking on the [Diff] for revision 2 will get you the diff for "D.java". The "Diff" tab has the same problem as the "Summary" tab. Note: I should not even have to select/click on Test.java, for I already requested The history for "Test.java" to begin with.
fixed the problem from the previous post Checking in DiffResultsView.java; /cvs/subversion/main/src/org/netbeans/modules/subversion/ui/history/DiffResultsView.java,v <-- DiffResultsView.java new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8 done
"Search History" works well, very pleased, thanks. One small change I'd recommend is to make the "Diff" tab the default/first one, instead of the "Summary". When I search history I generally want to see the history of *changes* made to a particular file, not the list of files in the affected commits.
Voted for this issue. Would be great if "Search history" can be turned to more intuitive instrument. For example if user could choose whether he wants to use Case sensitive, Whole words search etc. Thx.
The summary pane could use a "copy to clipboard" feature by entry or selected entries. Button, menu item, or keyboard shortcut would be equally fine for me. I often create "change log" sets by starting with the commit logs and rehashing them into "What's new" information and having to retype 5 pages of entries gets a bit tedious.

> The summary pane could use a "copy to clipboard" feature by entry or selected entries. this should work - just select some list entries and use the copy shortcut - e.g ctrl-c on windows
Would also be very useful to allow to collapse the section with files for displayed commits, and also show the files collapsed initially if there are more than certain number of files. E.g. in NetBeans repository there are commits over all repository (e.g. license upgrades) that make the history view unusable - showing thousands of files for some commits make the other short commits almost undiscoverable. In addition, it would be nice to first show and highlight the files that are relevant in the context the history searched was invoked on. So e.g. when viewing a commit over multiple projects I can see the files of the project I'm interested in first.
