Re: Compare & remembered files

Justin,

I changed the compare dialog to store the history values depending on
the number of members selected. This way you have different history sets
for 0, 1, 2 or 3+ selected members.

Please compare another member and see the history growing.

If that is still not what you like to have, I need some new ideas,
because then there are conflicting requests from different users, see
(closed) ticket #74.

The problem is that sometimes people want to keep one or another value
depending on what their current work is. So maybe I should add check
boxes for "library", "file" and "member" to let the user select which
values to remember.

I am a bit lost with that enhancement request.

Any ideas helping to solve that problem are greatly appreciated.

Thomas.

I loaded the update this morning. It now keeps the File for the Right compare, which is new. Unfortunately, it also keeps the Library and Member. I'm afraid this fix is worse than the problem it solves. Previously, I had to enter the File (vitually always the same), but now I have to enter the specify Library and Member.

The original issue came up when I created a new workspace. In my old workspace, the File I almost always use was in the drop-down for me to select. That worked fine. In the new workspace, the File wasn't in the drop-down.

I'm sorry for not being more clear originally.

Great. Thank you

Do you know where the File comes from now?

Justin,

You are correct that "Source -> Compare" is an iSphere option. Sadly the compare dialog does not update the history values. I already changed iSphere to update the history values, so that you will get that feature with the next iSphere version.

Regards,

Thomas.

I created a new, clean workspace to server as a master, and I always work in a copy. The idea being I can reset to a fresh workspace as needed.

Here's my trouble. In RPG source, when I right-click Source -> Compare** the File drop-down doesn't have the file I want to compare against. How do I get that added? I keep typing it in, but it never remembers. My old workspace did.

** That might be an iSphere option.
