I frequently miss a way to open certain revision in a separate editor tab, when looking at it in the Search History window in Diff mode. 1. search history of a file or group of files 2. switch to the Diff mode (instead of Summary mode) 3. expand a file node 4. right-click a revision: I expect the menu to contain a "View revision X.X" item, but it isn't there Such menu item is present in the Summary mode, and I often find myself switching there just to open the selected revision in a new tab. Although in Diff mode you can see the revision's source code in the diff split pane, this often is not convenient, because: 1. you might want to leave the revision open for future reference and meanwhile move on to doing something else with the Search History window 2. the source code can be too long and/or wide for the split pane 3. the diff markup can be distracting, if you are simply trying to read the code of this revision instead of comparing it with another
Can be done to 6.0.
View Revision now works in both Diff and Summary views. /shared/data/ccvs/repository/javacvs/cvsmodule/src/org/netbeans/modules/versioning/system/cvss/ui/history/ViewRevisionAction.java,v <-- ViewRevisionAction.java new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1 /shared/data/ccvs/repository/javacvs/cvsmodule/src/org/netbeans/modules/versioning/system/cvss/ui/history/RevisionNode.java,v <-- RevisionNode.java new revision: 1.22; previous revision: 1.21 /shared/data/ccvs/repository/javacvs/cvsmodule/src/org/netbeans/modules/versioning/system/cvss/ui/history/SummaryView.java,v <-- SummaryView.java new revision: 1.33; previous revision: 1.32
