Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2003-09-09 10:52:13 EDT 
Present compare editor shows revision number and CVS comments but not the
submission date for this revision.

It will be very convenient to see change/commit dates for both files on the left
and right panels.
Comment 1 Andre Weinand CLA 2003-09-09 17:22:26 EDT 
Moving to VCM
Comment 2 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2003-09-10 10:35:48 EDT 
Please note, that if you compare two files with each other it still should show
local change time for both of those files.
Comment 3 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2003-09-16 21:58:44 EDT 
We have recently (e.g. will be in the next integration build) CVS history view
can be linked wit the compare editor. This view shows the timestamps.

The local file is not shown though. That would be interesting.
Comment 4 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2003-09-17 14:29:48 EDT 
CVS history linking will not solve problem with comparing two files selected in
CVS explorer. I'd prefer to see timestamp in a header area of the compare editor
to keep it consistent and convenient.
Comment 5 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2003-09-18 09:18:28 EDT 
To update the labels in the compare text viewer synchronously as the editor is 
opened is too slow. We've tried this :) Instead, we would like to fetch them 
in the background, such that opening the compare editor is quick, and then 
update the labels. This is blocked until bug 43211 is fixed.
Comment 6 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2003-09-18 09:31:13 EDT 
Doesn't this sound similar to label decorators? Those are already updated in the
background.
Comment 7 Michael Valenta CLA 2005-05-06 17:18:53 EDT 
This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.
Comment 8 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2005-05-06 17:29:05 EDT 
Yes. I do believe that this is important.

Actually all compare editors may should be reviewed by someone, so they all will
be consistent and all provide similar information including path, size, time,
and maybe other params for the resources.

Acknowledged. However, there is currently no plan to address this item.
Comment 11 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:21:37 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
