I200411042000 The Change Set Comment dialog currently offers 2 options: A) 'Use title as commit comment': can only enter a one-line name/comment B) 'Enter a commit comment': can enter a one-line name and a free text comment What I would need most of the time is just the other way 'round: C) 'Use commit comment as title': can enter a free text multi-line comment and first line is used as title. I would like to see the dialog reorganized to something like this: +---------------------------------------------+ | Commit comment: | | +-----------------------------------------+ | | | <Free text multi-line | | | | comment | | | | ...> | | | +-----------------------------------------+ | | | | Choose a previously entered comment: | | +-----------------------------------------+ | | | [Combo with previous comments] V | | | +-----------------------------------------+ | | | | +------------------------+ | | Name (optional): | One-line name | | | + -----------------------+ | +---------------------------------------------+ When no name is given, the commit comment should be used as name.
I like this format as well.
No time for this in 3.1

> This bug looks to be fixed in I20070424-0930. Nope, the Change Set dialog has unfortunately not been changed so far. You probably looked at the Commit dialog.
We can look at this in 3.4.
Created attachment 64858 [details] "Edit Change Set Comment" dialog Markus, could you take a look at the screenshot, so I'll make sure we are talking about the same dialog. This screenshot is taken from I20070424-0930.
(In reply to comment #7) Yes, that's the guy!
What Markus is suggesting is to switch the comment and title around so that, by default, the user only needs to enter a comment and the comment (or, at least the first line of it) will be used as the title of the change set. If the first line should be the title, then we provide the user with a means of providing an optional title.
Sorry, it's my fault. Now, when I've taken a closer look, I see your point. Next comment will be a comment to a patch ;)
Created attachment 73262 [details] patch to org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui Patch to move the commit set title to the bottom of the screen and derive it from the current commit message
Thanks for the patch.
