Description greendeath 2003-08-15 02:16:04 UTC

Version:           2.0 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Unspecified

Ability to view (without updating) another version of file from CVS Log dialog (from both tree/list modes) will be great.

Algorithm:

1) Temp file with other version created
2) Kate (or eny other external editor) started in read only mode
3) Temp file removed after using

Feature could be accessible through button and(or) context menu.

Emacs VC mode can be used as model of implementation.

you can do this with Annotate. Select the wanted revision with left mouse 
button or key 'A' (select as revision A) and press the Annotate button.

Cheers,

Probably my idea is not completely redundant. "Annotate" just shows plain text 
file (+ developer + version - it's not always necessary). Kate (Emacs, vi, or 
other editor with syntax) will definitely help to look through code (Find is 
not bad addition to "Annotate" dialog too :-). Same for binary files which 
could be viewed with external viewers selected by MIME type.

With best regards,
Eugene.
