[Bug 466801] New: Software Repository Manager - Edit entry has poor useability
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466801 Summary: Software Repository Manager - Edit entry has poor useability Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rob.opensuse.linux@googlemail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When you try and edit a repository entry, it would be nice to have the current URL "pasted" into text box, to make small edits. What you get is a very inflexible and annoying dialog. Firstly you cannot change, the repository "category". So altering install DVD to ISO file, or a directory after loopback mounting it, requires a deletion and then and edit. Also you cannot higlight to copy the text in the links displayed, which then prevents pasting. I'm using KDE4, and browsers have this functionality, so it would appear to an application limitation. Fortunately, frequent use of this program is unlikely, but it's actually a high visibility part of the system, for new installers, and reviewers. As it stands, I'd prefer to just be able to hack a text file than use this GUI tool, because it takes a while to figure out, ways round it's limitations. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

When you try and edit a repository entry, it would be nice to have the current URL "pasted" into text box, to make small edits.
You can copy the URL from the details frame displayed below the table in the main dialog and use it for a new repository. For FTP/HTTP repositories there is "Edit complete URL" check box which displays the URL in single text widget.
As it stands, I'd prefer to just be able to hack a text file than use this GUI tool, because it takes a while to figure out, ways round it's limitations.
Use the files in /etc/zypp/repos.d directory. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
