I'm using the eclipse-changelog-2.6.7 RPM. Steps to reproduce: 1. Check out project from version control 2. Change/add file in project 3. Select project and hit <CTRL>+<ALT>+P or use Project => Prepare Changelog Experienced behaviour: <CTRL>+<ALT>+C creates a new ChangeLog file if none is existent, but <CTRL>+<ALT>+P doesn't. <CTRL>+<ALT>+P does nothing (Project => Prepare Changelog is disabled) on checked out and modified project. Expected behaviour: When <CTRL>+<ALT>+P is pressed (or Project => Prepare Changelog is clicked) and no ChangeLog file exists, it should probably ask in a similar fashion as <CTRL>+<ALT>+C does if a new file should be created. There are a few other things to consider: * What if a *.spec file exists inside the current project? It could perhaps prompt if changelog entries should be added to the spec file. * Are there other files around which have inline changelogs? Should those files be possible to specify in preferences? Thoughts?
Ok, Perpare Changelog is only enabled when a project is selected (not some file inside this project). However, according to the user documentation a selection dialog as to where to create a ChangeLog file should pop up if a project is selected and "Project => Prepare Changelog" is clicked (provided no ChangeLog does yet exist). I think the user doc needs to be changed/updated.
Severin, please feel free to update the docs: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/ChangeLog/User_Guide You could update the screenshots while you're there if you like :) (bug 333975).
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
Both the "Prepare Changelog" and "Insert Changelog Entry" commands now function as advertised by the User Guide, meaning that either command brings up a file dialog asking where to create the Changelog file if it doesn't yet exist, or edits the existing Changelog file. I don't know as of when this functionality was restored, but at the time of this writing, the commands do work as expected.
