A comment on the problem "Cloning a project doesn't clone the versions" in hedgehog lab:

Yeah I don't think versions need cloning and the release dates point is a good one. The paricular project I was cloning had generic and undated versions (1.0, 1.1) and it would have been handy in that case to clone them, but generally I would say that versions shouldn't be cloned. So just the text needs changing. – bon, on October 27, 2009 00:59

Cloning a project doesn't clone the versions

When creating a new project, if you select another project as a template, the versions from that project aren't copied over even though the blurb underneath the dropdown states that they will be.

Okay, not sure if I'm missing something here but there are loads of actions that create empty changelog entries when you edit a ticket.

Which actions (when editing a ticket) create non-empty changelog entries? Do you have to add a comment each time you edit the ticket?

bon replied on October 21, 2009 22:48 to the problem "Empty changelog entries when changing estimates" in hedgehog lab:

Logging time also creates an empty entry in the changelog. Is a changelog entry really necessary when time is logged? It shows up under the time log anyway.

Empty changelog entries when changing estimates

Thought this had been reported before but I couldn't find it after searching. If you edit a ticket and change any of the estimates (due date, effort, fix for version) it creates an empty entry in the changelog.

Any plans to implement this soon? Really would be handy!

bon replied on October 21, 2009 22:28 to the idea "Create areas on the fly" in hedgehog lab:

Being able to create a new version from the "Fix for Version" dropdown on the new ticket screen (and also maybe when editing a ticket?) would be very handy too. Sometimes a feature request comes in and I want to assign it to a distant future version that I haven't created yet.

Projects dropdown list

Just an idea, it'd be nice if the 'Projects' menu item showed a dropdown list of the current active projects when you hover over it, and clicking an item would take you to the project overview.

Upgraded to 1.8.1, problem fixed.

bon replied on October 15, 2009 20:58 to the idea "Description text area size" in hedgehog lab:

Just upgraded to 1.8.1 (was on 1.8) and the box expands nicely. Nice touch. It could do with a maximum height that it expands to though, gets a tad large with long tickets.

Thanks Sarat, hadn't spotted 1.8.1 was out.

bon replied on October 15, 2009 20:28 to the question "Is the "Viewing X of Y issue(s)" a system-wide thing?" in hedgehog lab:

Oh hang on, looks like it does filter according to the current issue filter. My bad. I was clicking through to tickets from the Issues screen with no filters applied.

bon asked a question in hedgehog lab on October 15, 2009 20:25:

Is the "Viewing X of Y issue(s)" a system-wide thing?

The "Viewing X of Y issue(s)" links on individual tickets is handy but it seems to be system-wide rather than restricted to the current project or the current area. Is this right? If so it could be improved by being restricted to the current project/filter/area.

Fatal error when clicking the RTE buttons

Clicking the "Insert/edit link", "Insert/edit image" or "Edit HTML Source" buttons in the rich text editor when writing a new issue or editing an existing one gives me the following error:

Create areas on the fly

When a project is just starting out, often it won't have many items added to the 'Area' section until ad admin starts adding them. It would be great to allow administrators to add an area on the fly when writing a new ticket. Eg. the bottom option in the 'Area' dropdown could say "Add new..." and a modal dialog would allow you to enter the name of a new area which then gets automatically added to the project.

Description text area size

The "Description" text area when writing a new bug is quite small. I'm sure TinyMCE has an option (mceResize?) to show a corner grabber thing to allow users to resize the text area by dragging it. This would be a nice to have.

Fixed as far as I can see

bon replied on July 30, 2009 15:11 to the question "How to backup & restore" in hedgehog lab:

Okay I understand now. That interface is confusing.

How I see it is that the "Enter absolute path of file to export" field sounds like it's asking for an existing file. I thought it was asking for the location of your database file so it can be exported but I now see it's asking for an arbitrary filename to save the export to.

How to backup & restore

From the Administration -> Backup & Restore tab there's no indication of where I might be able to find the file that I should be entering the location of in order to backup my database.

Also turning the two text inputs into file inputs would help greatly.
