| The fact that all of the managed files are stored in a single xml file is a disappointing design when it comes to this, but not a deal breaker in the end. I can live with that. However... Now that I find these entries by going to the config history for system configuration, I notice that there is no way to do the following:
- diff between 2 versions
- restore a selected version (though this is probably not wise given that all of the files are in a single xml format so let's ignore this point)
So at least I can get to the history which is a good start and still useful, but I would need to copy and paste the content into external files and use a different tool to diff them. I can do that, but this issue morphs into an improvement to perhaps provide a means to at least diff the managed config. This might involve UI changes to allow for separating the config history of managed config from the other system configurations if it doesn't make sense to provide diff for other system configs. But maybe it wouldn't hurt to provide diff on the rest of it as well. I haven't looked that closely at the actual files to know for sure, nor have I had reasons previously to need a diff on the other content. |
