This includes: * Reviewing current implementation for information and descriptions associated with Changes * Giving ideas for new types of Change descriptions which will be useful for the end-user * Devising a mechanism to implement the ideas above internally == Task requirements == * Information about changes should be classified by types and implemented: * Description * When the user is undoing/redoing a change, this results in a top-level change which should have meaningful description * Internal side effect changes could also have useful descriptions * Whether the change is a main or a side effect * Unique sequence id of the change * When Changes occur, they are sorted in order of appearance so each Change should have a unique id * The smaller the id of a Change, the earlier in time it has occurred * When the end-user views a top-level change, besides description there should be also a timestamp of the Change, e.g. when it has occurred * Develop a UI tool which shows the tree of Changes for debugging purposes * Develop a proper way to visualize what kind of effects undoing/redoing a Change would have * Create new unit tests == Task result == * Description of the information a Change provides in the wiki page * New code to implement the desired functionality * Description of the UI tool in the wiki == Implementation idea == * Use the Inspector for a base of the UI tool == Related == [wiki:PRO_CHANGE_UNDO_MANAGER_R0] [[BR]] [wiki:PRO_CHANGE_MANAGER_R0] [[BR]] [wiki:PRO_CHANGE_COMMONS_R0] == How to demo == * Undo/redo some actions in Sophie 2 and show the descriptions * Show the UI tool * Run the unit tests = Design = = Implementation = ^(Implementation results should be described and linked here (from the wiki or the repository))^ = Testing = = Comments = ^(Write comments for this or later revisions here.)
