Hi,
I'd like to get some clarification on the dialog modes for
svn (and
possibly other VCS too), namely which dialogs should be
modal and which
shouldn't.
So we have basically 2 types of dialogs:
a) dialogs shown before an action is handed to svn client
b) dialogs shown due to requests by the svn client api
IMHO it is clear that the dialogs from a) should be
non-modal, so that I
can have a diff-view open (or request one even) while the
commit-dialog
is already shown.
OTOH it makes sense (to me at least) to make the dialogs in
b) modal,
as these are really small dialogs which don't need much time
to fill in
(i.e. shouldn't be too disturbing during your usual work).
This includes
login-dialog, ssl-trust-dialog (accept cerificate),
client-certificate
dialogs (not sure how those are handled) and a (possibly
simpler)
commit-dialog for things like remote-copy where the API
doesn't accept
a commit message but needs one nevertheless.
Comments please?
Andreas
