> Thanks for the bug reports!
Congratulations. I really love the speed. And I like the new UI.
I am would like to see some documentation on how to migrate from the
old Monticello. Also I am eagerly awaiting the network repositories.
I have some more bug reports.
- Having no repository specified silently ignores the save command.
- Leaving the comment box empty silently ignores the save command.
- Some tests fail on Squeak 3.9 (see attached screenshot). I think the
issues are related to some encoding problems.
- Something I really dislike about MC2 is the way entities are
displayed. Even if this is well documented, it is not user friendly.
Why put brackets <...> around the names? Then the cryptic characters
between classes and methods/variables totally disturb me. Why not
follow the #changeString of the RefactoringBrowser change objects? I
think something along the following suggestions would greatly improve
the user experience:
<String>
String
<String-comment>
Comment for String (or)
String: comment
<String#asLowercase>
String>>#asLowercase
<String*cr>
String class>>#cr (I can even inspect this expression)
<Text at string>
Instance variable 'string' of Text (or)
Text: instance variable 'string' (or)
Text string (inst var)
<String%AsciiOrder>
Class variable 'AsciiOrder' of String (or)
String: class variable 'AsciiOrder' (or)
String AsciiOrder (class var)
<ChangeSet$current>
Class instance variable 'current' of ChangeSet (or)
ChangeSet: class instance variable 'current' (or)
ChangeSet class current (inst var)
<Paragraph&TextConstants>
Pool variable 'TextConstants' of Paragraph (or)
Paragraph TextConstants (pool var)
Heh, some of my suggestions are even shorter and still readable. ;-)
- Another thing I am confused with is the Merge Browser. Labels would
definitely help. Also a button or two for the most common actions.
Furthermore I think it would make sense to rearrange the panels (Local
and Remote should be next to each other, not in diagonal). What about
something like that?
| elements |
| Local | Remote |
| Resolution |
| Buttons |
Cheers,
Lukas
