Version Tracking Report 1.3.46

This started off as a cosmetic release, but it has some useful functional enhancements for dragging and dropping.

Tasks

Date Name Description Duration
30/05/2004 18:09:14 Enabled drag of entity instance between models If 2 models share the same entity definitions then we can drag an entity instance from one model to another and it will be copied.

Dragging is only enabled on to hierarchies. 
31/05/2004 10:34:11 drag and drop between models The Test Analyst Edition can now drag and drop between models.

Entity Instances can be dragged from one model to another if an entity of the same name exists in both models. The entity instance is copied as well as can be so the name, url, description are copied; any weightings which are the same are copied; any attachments are copied.

Hierarchical structures can be dragged.

If an entity instance is embedded in a hierarchy then it is copied across based on the rules above. Note: The system first tries to identify the entity instance in the existing model first so if an intance with the same name, url, desc and weightings already exists then this will be used as a branch reference rather than the copied in reference (because they are so similar as to be almost the same)

629 Tip of the day dialog icon 26/05/2004 23:14:28 30/05/2004 16:52:38   changed icon 
630 resize lost on [Next] 26/05/2004 23:15:10 30/05/2004 16:53:43 If the dialog is resized and the next button is pressed then the size [and position] of the dialog are forgotten, and the dialog appears in the same place and the same size as the default position.  no longer occurs due to fix to 'next tip closes and opens form'

636 [Acks] button title 26/05/2004 23:35:29 30/05/2004 17:03:12 The [Acks] button title could be changed to [Acknowledgements]?

The font for showing the acknowledgements is a little rough - is there another.

Since they are all urls, perhaps they should be shown with url controls like the 'visit compendiumdev' links? 
added all ack links as url labels. Always displayed. Changed [Acks] to [Buy Now] for unregistered demo users. 
637 About Title 26/05/2004 23:37:02 30/05/2004 17:04:56 The title of the dialog is [About] could it be more expressive?

Open Defects

ID Name Raised Date Status Criticality Description
619 entity date drop down does not have calender btn 26/05/2004 19:05:26 OPEN LOW The date, date_time and time fields on an entity attribute have the [v] drop down instead of the calendar button or clock button. 
446 save as to same db acts as a save 26/06/2003 11:38:04 OPEN LOW the save as function, when saving to the same db actually does a save, rather than saving the model as a new model in the same database 
522 tips dialog graphic 21/12/2003 15:58:43 OPEN LOW On some setups, the tips dialog CTA logo is too big and the dialog doesn't display as nicely as it could. 
453 Import entity defn once only 29/06/2003 14:17:05 OPEN LOW The system allows the user to import an entity definition twice, or more, the system should really not allow this or should rename the imported entity or should merge the two definiitions or replace the current entity defn with the imported one.

The system should probably prompt the user with these options when they try to import a duplicate definition.
