Development WG's famous to do list

[WinstonSmith]

In another occasion, I entered the same symbol (hyphen, in English? ) in the note comment field, and it looks like it was correctly saved; nevertheless, when there's some other mistake in the form and the same page automatically reloads to let you change the wrong values, the hyphen once again disappears and becomes a slash with nothing else after it.

Also, in the initial form, when you have to give the details of the banknotes you want to filter, pressing the Enter key activates the "Back" button instead of the "Send" button. (Hope this is clear, I don't know exactly what names those buttons have in the English version.)

Hope this kind of debugging is useful. Great work anyway. It will help clean up the database a lot.

Let me add that I specifically encourage heavy usage of the new system, even for "trivial" uses such as correcting type-os in comments.

Very nice to have a support system. i haven't used it until now, but maybe in the future.

There was another change on the "note report" sites.
When i look at a note-report, there is a link to enter more notes from that city, thats okay.
but when i look at the note report of a hit, the preselected city, is the city where the note is entered first.
i think it makes more sense, when the city where i entered the hit-note, is preselected.

Great work, thank you!
(knowing myself I'm sure I'll use that feature very often for mass edits.... :/ )

I've already submitted a request

This is a super-useful feature. I frequently looked up the correct postcode by looking for a note from the same location, then remembering the postcode. It seems I can now do it without that last step.

but when i look at the note report of a hit, the preselected city, is the city where the note is entered first.
i think it makes more sense, when the city where i entered the hit-note, is preselected.

Could it be because the hit has two note-ids, so you are in fact looking to the first entry? If this assumption is correct, and you were to look at the second entry, you would get the right location.

No problem, I have quite a lot of notes that need another date (due to travelling without own internet). Unfortinatly I have to change them note for note.

Would it be an idea to change the field "Date entered" into "Date entered" + "Time entered" ?

And look for all notes with comment "30.10.2007" and them only change the date of these notes (not the time).

I also have some problems with the maximum of 20 support requests, but every free moment I just type some requests

[googlejaps]

First of all great feature. I actually have been waiting for this to come to extend the comments of my notes.

I would like to have the possibillity to search to a comment CaSe SeNsItIvE. So I can change the comment from swirls to Swirls.

it's changed now.
now i see my location every time, when i look at a note report.
thank you.

Don't take this personally, but your use case is not quite what I intended when designing the system.

Normally you shouldn't have to edit the dates of many notes. IMO the only case where this is really useful from the site's point of view is when a note becomes a hit, especially if it's a reverse hit. If you need more precision in your note data for personal reasons, you have to invest a bit more time. I just don't want to encourage our users to edit the dates of thousands of notes.

To sum it up, it's a feature, not a bug. But feel free to use the system as is.

I'll monitor the usage of the new system in the next time. The limit of 20 requests is just an initial guess, if our user need more and the Support Team can cope with the load I'll extend the limit.

In other news, I changed the hit listing to display the most useful note id. The "Enter notes from $location" is derived from the note id (every note gets a unique ID; a hit consists of multiple note ids corresponding to the individually entered notes), so the suggestions depends on the ID you're using to view the hit profile.

So now when viewing the public hit list the most recent ID is displayed; when viewing your personal list "your" note ID is used.

One feature I'd really love to see being implemented is the possibility of selecting specific notes, ie. , hit or all notes entered in France. Database-wise, this shouldn't bee too much of an issue either

[vermeer]

I like so see my notes from begin to end in my system. So page 1 is May 21, 2004 and now 959360 notes as being page 19187.

[yli]

That's possible.

Go to My notes and click on date - and the date order changes the other way.

[vermeer]

But when i leave EBT and enter again; it is wrong again (from present to past).

Is it correct that the tables are down?

Yes, it was an unfortunate (and unexpected) side effect of rebooting the server last night. It's fixed now, though.
