Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-05-31 16:10:44 EDT
When you "Mark as Merged", if its your only incomming change and you are in the 
incoming mode, the sync view becomes empty.

On the surface it looks like the change is gone.

Maybe we should switch to outgoing if there are no incomming changes left

Surprising indeed. (Help! Where did my changes go?). We should fix this.

My 2c - I don't actually find this surprising at all. We were in incoming mode
and there are no more incoming changes for any files. Therefore, the view should
be empty. The file (after it's marked as merged) should appear in the Outgoing
view, however - something which doesn't seem to happen at the moment ("Mark as
merged removes the file from all views).

Cheers,
Dave.

I erred - "mark as merged" removes the file from the incoming view only.

Dave.

In my opinion, automatically switching to the outgoing mode would be even more 
confusing...

What about showing something like a grey text "no more incoming changes" 
instead of the emptyness?
Comment 7 Michael Valenta CLA 2003-07-09 08:59:06 EDT
The new Live Sync view does not have modes. However, the problem of indicating 
that there are changes that are not present in the view due to filters still 
remains. We are investigating solutions for this in the new sync view.
Comment 8 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2003-10-05 20:49:26 EDT
The new Synchronize View shows the outgoing/incoming/conflicting counts at the
top of the view. I think this helps solve the initial problem in that not only
are the incoming changes removed from the view, but the counts are updated.

Kevin, please re-open if you think that this isn't addressing your initial problem.
