(PITA :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kirk Marple Sent: Monday, April 05, 2004 4:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [vault-list] DiffMerge comments file these under "PITA" with the DiffMerge tool... i have about 100 files that need merging. on each of the files, i right-click and select 'Show Merge...'. first i get the "automatic merge results" dialog, which doesn't have the focus on the "OK" button, so i have to physically find the OK button with the mouse. i can't just hit return. (PITA) this brings up the DiffMerge tool - which works great - after saving/closing this tool, there's a dialog which pops up saying "Would you like to resolve the merge status now?". One problem is that the focus isn't always on this dialog, so i have to find the OK button with the mouse to click it. I can't just hit return. (PITA) Also, there should be a "don't ever ask me again" checkbox. my biggest complaint is that the focus isn't left on the file i had selected in the "pending change set" window. that file should still be visible, so i just hit "down arrow" to get to the next one, and right-click on it. instead, the window selection seems to become "none", which makes me have to scroll down to the one i really want. (PITA) when i have 100 files to merge, this means paging down 4-5 pages to get to the final files. other than these few tweaky things, the merge process is working great! hopefully these little things can be addressed for a point release, so the UI workflow of merging gets easier. thanks, Kirk -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Kirk Marple CTO/VP of Engineering Agnostic Media, Inc. e: [email protected] w: www.agnostic-media.com c: 206.412.0956 blog: www.1968.org You can get my Digital ID here: https://digitalid.verisign.com/services/client/index.html ------=_NextPart_000_0063_01C41B51.24DCFD60 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1400" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><SPAN class=3D191374801-06042004><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff = size=3D2>Thanks=20 Kirk, we'll add these all to the feature request = list.</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D191374801-06042004><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff = size=3D2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=3D191374801-06042004><FONT face=3DArial color=3D#0000ff = size=3D2>-Dan</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=3Dltr=20 style=3D"PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px = solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=3DOutlookMessageHeader dir=3Dltr align=3Dleft><FONT = face=3DTahoma=20 size=3D2>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B>=20 [email protected]=20 [mailto:[email protected]]<B>On Behalf Of </B>Kirk = Marple<BR><B>Sent:</B> Monday, April 05, 2004 6:37 PM<BR><B>To:</B>=20 [email protected]<BR><B>Subject:</B> RE: [vault-list] = DiffMerge=20 comments<BR><BR></FONT></DIV> <DIV dir=3Dltr align=3Dleft><SPAN class=3D981043623-05042004><FONT = face=3DTahoma=20 color=3D#800000 size=3D2>Forgot another point:</FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV dir=3Dltr align=3Dleft><SPAN class=3D981043623-05042004><FONT = face=3DTahoma=20 color=3D#800000 size=3D2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV dir=3Dltr align=3Dleft><SPAN class=3D981043623-05042004><FONT = face=3DTahoma=20 color=3D#800000 size=3D2>The DiffMerge tool doesn't retain the = sizing/positioning=20 info between runs.
