RFE: Drag and drop from the Log Messages window

[David Balažic]

Hi!

When viewing the log of a file (or even folder), it would be handy if one could click a revision (in the upper part of the window) and drag it to an Explorer window, which would check out (just copy, without making a WC) the selected revison of the file. Similar as dragging from the repo browser.

Regards,

David

While that could be done, it's a bad idea.

The handling of the drop (i.e., downloading all the files) is done in the explorer process, which means while explorer fetches all the files, it would be unusable.

For slow connections, that would be much too long.

Also, to initialize such a drag/drop, TSVN would have to list all files and folders recursively first, which also blocks explorer (or any other app you drop the revision onto) completely.
