On upgrading from IDEA 6.0.6 to 7.0 the message history for IDEtalk isn't kept

Created: 17 Oct 07 19:41 Updated: 18 Oct 07 15:39

Component/s:

IDETalk

Build:	7,361
Severity:	Medium

Description

« Hide

Support feedback:

If you right-click on a name in IDEtalk and choose "Message History"
nothing happens. If you instead press "Alt-F7" while the focus is on
the IDEtalk tool window and on the contact you want to see the history
for, the "Search Message History for ..." window appears.

"Message History" should not bring up a search in history dialog,
but show the complete history with the possibility to search/filter
it. Currently you have to search for an empty string to get the full
history, this is not very intuitive in my opinion.

As the person from which the feedback came I have to say the subject of this issue and the description are 3 separate bugs:

1. On upgrading from IDEA 6.0.6 to 7.0 the message history for IDEtalk isn't kept.

2. The not working context menu entry

3. The usability bug that "Message History" should bring up the complete history (filterable or searchable) and not a search dialog in which you have to search for the empty string to get the complete history.

Manual workaround: Just move the files from "<homedir>\.IntelliJIdea60\system\ideTalk\history" to "<homedir>\.IntelliJIdea70\system\ideTalk\history" and the history is available again.
