I think this is premature. We have no concrete plan for #89629 yet. It's planned for 6.0M8 according to #89629. Provisionally reassigning to Dafe, if he has time. I have few comments to UI of OOBE Versionability - UI review: 1) Library manager: Add button "Load Definitions" is not bad idea. But one will understand what it is means till he read documentation. I prefere something like "Add Libraries Group". I am for to rather select (or create) folder with libraries definition than to select properties file. The propertis file will be created automatically if it doesn't exist. I have for it two reason. 1)Developer will use shared libraries if he want to store libraries in versioning repository (CVS). Developers usually store external libraries to a folder. It's then simplier to transfer global libraries to shared libraries in folder. It can be done by clicking to an action from popup of Library in Libraries Manager dialog. 2)IMHO it's better to show name of folder in libraries group name. Another one comment: Developer has already created project with global libraries. It will be nice to be able to move libraries to cvs from popup of library in project. For example either "Copy to project" or "Copy to shared folder". 1) Copy to project - It will be created libraries folder if it desn't exist and library will be copied to it. 2) copy to shared libraries - Developer will select libraries folder (with libraries.properties) or create new folder. Obviously the name of the button can be changed to whatever. Re. copying global libraries to project locations - that is out of scope for issue #44035, though of course it is fine to discuss the future possibilities. See issue #49638. It would be simple enough to change the filechooser to a dirchooser, and assume a standard .properties file name - e.g. index.properties or libraries.properties. The chooser could also have some sort of quick option to pick a conventional location for a given project, e.g. $projdir/libs/index.properties. However it may make sense to defer such changes until a GUI for issue #49638 is settled upon. Obsolete milestone, please reevaluate no longer relevant, closing |
