<pre>So the version control dialog ( File > Versions ) needs some improvements, so
lets give our input on it here.
1. The dialog title used to begin with the string 'Versions of ' before the
filename, but this strangely went missing in 4.2. @Xisco, @Bouvjaga: Can you
bibisect this?
2. A checkbox entitled 'Show version comment when saving' would be useful, so
that a user can always fill in this field when a new version is saved (on
closing or on saving). It would be useful for the user to be able to set this
option on a global and per file level.
3. Would be useful to be able to sort the grid by its columns. Feature is
available in the manage track changes dialog.
4. Would be useful to be able to filter the grid by date (to and from) and by
author. Feature is available in the manage track changes dialog.
Heiko has submitted a redesign concept in <span class=""><a href="http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=132649" name="attach_132649" title="Extended file browser">attachment 132649</a> <a href="http://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=132649&action=edit" title="Extended file browser">[details]</a></span>, so here are some
comments for it.
1. The function buttons were removed in favour of a grid selection context
menu, which i believe will make the dialog less a11y accessible. @Stuart, Alex:
Any input?
2. The user column was removed from the grid, but believe it would be useful
when a document is modified by multiple users.
3. Not sure many users would be interested in the size column.
4. The show comment button was removed in favour of showing the entire comment
in the grid, so though most users will normally leave short comments, what
happens when it is quite long?
5. The original dialog had a CMIS button, so how would that be implemented in
the new mockup.</pre>
