Selecting which packages should be displayed might be confusing (UppHub) [message #55957]

Hello,

I see one problem with the changed mechanism related to package selection in package manager. Right now each package downloaded from "UbbHub" add additional entries to the drop box in which user can specify which packages should be displayed. With two packaged downloaded form UppHub I have 12 entries. Example below:
index.php?t=getfile&id=6330&private=0

Let's imagine if I will have 20 or more packages. It will be addition 36 entries, which will make the DropList very hard to use.

My question here - can we simplify it by adding UppHub assembly instead of creating separate one for each package? Also, if I mess something I don't know which option is the default one - similar to the good old "Main packages of first nest".

Hello Klugier,

There seems to be another problem, probably a regression, related to this new feature: Assemblies are not refreshed when switched:

Can you check this to reproduce:

1) Open TheIDE, open any project (e.g reference/AK).
2) In TheIDE, from the File menu, select Open Main Package
3) Select another assembly (e.g bazaar)

Result: The package list is not refreshed.
Expected result: The package list is refreshed.

Best regards,
Oblivion

Hello Oblivion,

I manage to reproduce scenario you have mentioned. This is probably one of the root cause why I wrote my previous message in this thread Wink

OK, that will probably be better... I will rethink this.

Hello,

It is better, however the bug mentioned by Oblivion and Xemuth in other thread is still reproducible.

Hello,

One thing that should be improved there is what is displayed when user clicks "Add package to ...". It should display all non main available packages, because in most cases you would like to add non main package. Display all main packages from the first assembly looks strange. UppHub packages should also be present.

It starts with All packages...

The reason why it does not filter out main packages is that quite often the package has both main package flags for testing, but is meant to be used as non-main.

Hello Mirek,

For me it starts with "Main packages of uppsrc" when I click on "Add new package" for TheIDE. Not "All packages" as you suggest.

Maybe this is problem with caching causes by frequent updates of TheIDE, but it is definitly worth checking that we have expected behavior there.

What I would like to add is that examples/Skylar* packages looks strange in "Add package to ...". Maybe we should tell TheIDE that they are only exmpleray packages and the should be added to regular project. Screenshot below:
index.php?t=getfile&id=6335&private=0
