Tasks

Date Name Description Duration
05/07/2002 17:30:32 Added an export to dot menu option added an export to dot file option on the dot display of a graph  0.1 
05/07/2002 18:31:31 expanded dot output to use line styles the dot output now mirrors the line styles of links and nodes, also the node shapes

colours are not supported as I simply could not get dot to use the colours I wanted. 
05/07/2002 11:20:18 Added statusbar to various forms Added to:
Generic Hierarchy
Edit Entity Defn
Export Graph as Site Map
Generic Col List
Generic Edit
Main Form
 
0.25 
05/07/2002 11:10:27 Added close button to app properties form Added close button to app properties form  0.1 
02/07/2002 15:03:27 added OUTPUT_HTML and OUTPUT_NORMAL template directives added OUTPUT_HTML and OUTPUT_NORMAL template directives

OUTPUT_HTML
caused every item output to the template from then to be htmlified

OUTPUT_NORMAL
caused every item output to the template from then to have no translations done on them

This is a quick fix before I implement a regex parser for the template output 

Defects Fixed

ID Name Raised Date Closed Date Description Resolution
335 version tracking report did not print the resolution 06/07/2002 13:20:57 06/07/2002 13:30:57 I only just noticed that the version tracking report did not print the resolution details of the fixed defects.

I guess I just assumed that I wasn't entering any! 
changed template code to refer to Resolution Details rather than Resolution 
333 root node not saved on first save 06/07/2002 12:00:36 06/07/2002 13:15:36 The first time a hierarchy was added to the model, the root node was not saved to the database!

This was only a problem when that root node was also an entity instance. Then the model did not work correctly on re-load. 
added code to save it! 
334 node.children are in wrong order 06/07/2002 12:15:25 06/07/2002 12:45:25 the .children function returned the children in the wrong order.

Added code to order the list before returning it!

I only noticed this when checklist items were in the wrong order on my checklist entity/macro report 
added sort code to the return function 
329 client side image map does not close when model closes 05/07/2002 11:36:40 05/07/2002 11:38:40 Export client side image map does not close when model closes  added parentTestModel to the form 
326 dialog titles do not reflect name of entity 05/07/2002 09:10:12 05/07/2002 11:10:12 when editing an instance and the name changes then the dialog title needs to change too.

needs to happen for graph, path, instance, entity defn, node, link, hierarchy 
added refresh code 
325 Dragging an entity defn to hierarchy creates a branch when it shouldn't 05/07/2002 09:00:59 05/07/2002 09:10:59 Dragging an entity defn to hierarchy creates a branch when it shouldn't

This also happens with any item which is not allowed in the hierarchy (Graphs, Paths, etc.)
 
changed tempcrossref to a function and check boolean return 
324 delete entity instance on tree browser does not update hierarchy browser display 04/07/2002 12:00:54 04/07/2002 delete entity instance on tree browser does not update hierarchy browser display

the display still shows the item as being an instance. It isn't of course and the system has removed the references to it but the display is not updated. 
added the code to handle this situation 
321 transmute a branch to entity does not update treebrowser 03/07/2002 15:00:07 03/07/2002 16:55:00 the tree is not updated and neither is the list if the list is displayed  tree fixed, list still outstanding 15:20 list fixed 16:55 
319 Uncross ref on hierarchy does not update icon 03/07/2002 13:40:48 03/07/2002 14:45:48 the uncross ref button on the hierarchy browser does not update the icon in the tree view  10 mins 
320 xref button does not refresh icon in tree 03/07/2002 13:40:45 03/07/2002 14:45:45 xref button does not refresh icon in tree
 
10 mins 
299 New Entity does not update the entity list 28/06/2002 10:30:58 03/07/2002 16:40:58 in the tree browser when an entity is selected and the user creates a new entity then the entity is shown in the tree but not in the list   
288 Updating a hierarchy branch name does not reflect in tree browser 21/06/2002 12:56:16 03/07/2002 16:30:00 Updating the name of an entity when it is a hierarchy branch (from the hierarchy browser) does not update the model browser tree pane.   
275 time not always shown on date weighting 19/06/2002 11:45:59 02/07/2002 15:20:00 date is not always shown when a date weighting is selected

- workaround -
click the other tabs a few times 
 
307 client side image map uses old graph rep 02/07/2002 13:20:04 02/07/2002 13:25:04 The user amendable version of the graph is saved when the form is exited, therefore when the client side image map button is used to ouput the graph and the graph has changed, then the old version (unsaved version) of the graph is used in the client side image map dialog.  added memory persist code 
303 create new node should use style on the node style dialog 01/07/2002 10:30:02 02/07/2002 12:30:00 create new node should use style on the node style dialog  when the node style dialog is available then the node style (or link style) shown will be used on the new node/link 
302 node style font change does not apply on its own 28/07/2002 10:30:21 02/07/2002 11:55:00 in order to effect a font change, the colour has to be changed as well, just changing the node style does not affect a change  added a refresh to the code 
301 node style dialog buttons should have tooltips 28/06/2002 10:30:46 02/07/2002 11:50:00    
300 node style caption does not reflect selected item 28/06/2002 10:30:00 02/07/2002 12:45:27 node style caption does not reflect selected item

the caption on the dialog should say link style if selected a link and node/link style if on both 
 

Open Defects

ID Name Raised Date Status Criticality Description
208 entity create needs saved twice 30/05/2002 16:24:02 OPEN MEDIUM when creating an entity, and saving it.

the save is made but the form brings up the save button once again. the second save commits and does not ask for another save

this is a sporadic problem and may be due to an oversensitive keyboard setting on the laptop? 
134 the hierarchy browser hierarchy should maintain expansion 25/04/2002 17:55:54 OPEN LOW during restructuring, the hierarchy should leave expanded the items which are expanded 
133 The hierarchy browser tree refreshes too much on drag 25/04/2002 17:54:37 OPEN LOW this can be disconcerting when dragging,

perhaps the timer is not long enough? 
62 icons on buttons are not transparent 17/04/2002 OPEN LOW need to turn the .ico into .bmp and setup the mask property 
49 popup menus use mouse co-ords 19/04/2002 14:31:35 OPEN LOW this isn't particularly good when we are using the insert keys
 

Requirements Implemented

ID Name Raised Date Status Raised By Description
17 dot format export 01/04/2002 IMPLEMENTED Alan Richardson the dot output should reflect the formatting options applied to the addflow diagram as well as possible 
322 generic hierarchy should have a refresh menu option 03/07/2002 16:53:29 IMPLEMENTED Alan Richardson just in case things go do-lally, which they shouldn't but could be useful after a macro has run etc.
