| Synchronizing means ??? |
| </p> |
| |
| <h3>After a Synchronize has completed</h3> |
| <p>Generally the sync view is shown AFTER the synchronize operation has completed. This way we don't interrupt the user's context. Why do |
| people like to be prompted after? For some the synchronize operation can be very long, and they want to be told when they can view the |
| results.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>1st time and no changes, then simply prompt that there are no changes. |
| <li>1st time and there are changes in the workspace, then prompt asking about perspective switch next enumerate the types of changes in the workspace, and open sync view. |
| <li>other times and no changes, then simply prompt. |
| <li>other times and changes, then prompt enumerating the types of changes in the workspace, and open sync view. |
| <li>other times and changes and option to not prompt, open sync view. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| There are a couple of reasons someone may want to synchronize with the remote. There are currently |
| two ways of running the refresh operation: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Directly from the synchronize view |
| <li>From Team > Synchronize with Repository |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Notice a file is out-of-sync in another view (e.g. packages explorer, types) and want to see the changes</h3> |
| <p>In case you can select a file, it will be refreshed with the server, and if changes are found the compare editor is opened |
| that will allow browsing the changes. If no changes are found, you will be prompted.</p> |
| |
| <h3>From another view would like to browse the outgoing/incoming changes for several resources</h3> |
| <p>Select a folder or group of files and Team > Synchronize will open the sync view and automatically refresh with |
| the remote repository.</p> |
| |
| <h3>In the sync view and would like to refresh to see if there are new changes from the server</h3> |
| <p> |
| |
| </p> |
| |
| Assumption, the sync view may or may not be open when the synchronize is performed. Maybe we need a different prompt |
| each case. One for Team > Sync and another for refresh from the sync view. |
