Description Mik Kersten

Due to the need to select a repository and sometimes a component within that repository, we require too many clicks for task creation.  I think that we should be able to provide one-click task creation via the following mechanisms:
1) Make the toolbar button for creating new tasks a drop down that allows the user to select a repository (bug 219241).
2) Allow the user to set a repository as default for new tasks, both via the repository Properties page and the Task Repositories view.
3) Remove the need for a second wizard page for selecting projects/components (bug 166595).
4) Make the default action of (1) be opening the new task editor for the default repository.

Rob, Frank, we could consider the patch from bug 166595 for creating new tasks even if it does not work for existing tasks (the project would be read-only in that case). It would enable us to resolve this bug which is part of the plan for 3.1.

Sounds good Steffen. I'll take a look at what is involved here.

New Task from Task Repositories was broken by my previous patch, so now here is the correction.

Frank, that's an interesting approach but we have yet to figure out how to manage the default repository. It could make sense to do this on a per working set basis for instance. Since we are getting very close to the release date I have created bug 265914 to track additional enhancements. It would be great if you could attach your patch there and we can consider it for the next release.

Rob, is there anything left to do here?

I think we're all happy with the UI so marking resolved.
