Version: 1.2.1 (using KDE 3.2.1, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.4-gentoo-r1 It is not possible to change the package name of a class. The file was created with Umbrello 1.1.1 and opened in Umbrello 1.2.1. I am neither able to cut the class and paste it into the package in the panel on the left, nor am I able to assign a package name to the class (because the edit field is disabled). Maybe this is just a user error, but even if it is, someone should think about how to improve the user-interface to be able to find the right option (the one which activates the package field). Contact me if you have any questions or need the UML file for testing. Regards, Florian

This was done on purpose. If the user types in a package name, what should the behaviour be? 1. If the package name already exists, then put the class into the package found? 2. If the package does not yet exist, then implicitly create a new package, and then put the class into the newly created package? While (1) sounds like a good idea, there are some implementation problems with (2). What if the user makes a typo? Then a new package with a wrong name will exist?
> nor am I able to assign a package name to the class (because the edit field is disabled). Dropdown box? Or simply refuse renaming to a non-existing package?
> This should work now, could you try again with current cvs? I have tried it with the CVS HEAD revision and it is now working without any issues. Thank you for the quick fix! > This was done on purpose. > If the user types in a package name, what should the behaviour be? I see, but what about displaying the package name in the edit field, even if it is disabled. So the user would notice that package names are working, but that he has to find other means to move the class to another package (e.g. copy and paste). Regards, Florian
> what about displaying the package name in the edit field, even if it is disabled. Huh? That's already happening for me. If the package name is not displaying properly for you then please give a description of what you did so that we can reproduce the problem.
