list full package name in repository browser

Open dalehenrich opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

Even though the mcz name of the package is not useful, it is useful to have some information about the version in the name ... the Monticello browser lists mcz version names so the filetree repository view should as well just to maintain consistency ...

Eventually we need to resolve the version history once and for all, but until then a little consistency is nice...

deleted my previous two comments as they are not relevant ... I was chasing a red herring ... the only reason for listing the full package name is aesthetics.

Just had the same thoughts until I remembered that all that information is displayed in the details panel below... I agree that the full name is not necessary although it is a bit strange to look at the details for author and version if you're not used to it.

Right now, packages show as e.g. "ConfigurationOfMetacello.package", which doesn't give you the visual feedback as to whether that's the version that's loaded. If they appeared as e.g. "ConfigurationOfMetacello-dkh.714", that would be best
