Description _ tboudreau 2005-01-18 05:36:24 UTC 
(See also comments in issue 53535):

The Resolve button in the missing references 
dialog brings up the Platform Manager dialog 
(for missing platforms anyway).

While this is a UI for doing that, it's pretty 
non-intuitive - an actual UI, say a wizard

Cannot find platform "Foo"
  ( ) Look for Foo in already known platforms
  ( ) Find Foo on disk

---

Probably similar for missing libraries (although 
at some point we ought to be able to scrape the 
Ant script for lots of stuff, right?)
Comment 1 Tomas Zezula 2005-01-18 09:07:04 UTC 
Jano, what do you think about it?
Comment 2 jrojcek 2005-02-22 08:53:45 UTC 
I agree the UI is a problem. Probably can't do anything about it for 4.1.
Comment 3 Marian Mirilovic 2005-03-31 08:01:01 UTC 
This issue has TM=future and it's P2, so if you don't plan to fix it for NB4.1
ask for waiver.
Comment 4 Milan Kubec 2005-04-05 10:50:55 UTC 
Once more: This issue is P2, so if you don't plan to fix it for NB4.1 ask for
waiver.

BTW: Is it really P2?
Comment 5 jrojcek 2005-04-05 12:25:54 UTC 
Decreasing priority to P3. The current UI is quite ugly and non-intuitive, but the user is guided to what 
she/he is supposed to do. I hope we'll be able to target this for the next release. The buildsys team 
agreed that this is important to do and it shouldn't be a lot of work.
Comment 6 Antonin Nebuzelsky 2007-07-23 15:23:06 UTC 
Jano, any progress on this issue from your side?
Comment 7 jrojcek 2007-07-24 09:45:20 UTC 
This should be solved as part of improved UI for handling broken references which covers handling of broken references to libraries, and other things in web 
and enterprise projects (e.g. data sources). This "feature" was proposed for 6.0 but then it wasn't planned for. Maybe after 6.0...
Comment 8 Jan Becicka 2008-11-12 07:26:00 UTC 
Jan, do you plan to solve this issue for 7.0 or next?
Thanks
Comment 9 David Strupl 2009-03-31 15:59:29 UTC 
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
