This release of Compendium-TA has a whole bunch of GUI changes based on an exploratory testing session.

We were using Compendium-TA to document the exploratory session to determine what kind of entities and reports might be useful. This is still something we are working on, but will form the basis for a case study later on.

One immediate spin off benefit is that you can now drag and drop entity instances from one model to another. Because we were creating defect reports during the testing session, which was in a separate model from the model we use to track development. Adding the functionality to drag entity instances made the job a lot easier. To drag an entity instance, the entity definition has to be setup in both models. The entity instance is copied across, which means that it gets a new GUID, this also means that in order to tell if the entity instance already exists we have to compare the name,url,desc and weighting values.

Have also changed the system so that if you drag items within the same hierarchy and hold down [shift] when you drop the item, you will get the [copy *] context menu that you get when copying between hierarchies.
