Feature Request: Make elements of added packages in save-version dialog browsable

[LinqLover]

This looks always a bit intransparent:

It would be nicer if the new package could be uncollapsed and browsed as well.

[LinqLover]

As a workaround, one can select the new package, inspect the save-version dialog, and evaluate self browseIncomingEdition:

On the other hand you could also just use "browse full" and look what you have in the image. Since the current GUI does not allow you to exclude items when adding, it will be committed completely.

[LinqLover]

The advantage of "browse incoming version" is that you can survey all extension methods as well, support for which still has not arrived in the Trunk. 🙂

Looks like it now has arrived in trunk. ;-)

[j4yk]

Should we close this issue @LinqLover? Or do you think it would be beneficial to let "Browse full" on the whole package open the package browser instead now with the changes in trunk? In the latter case, could you provide me with an example code snippet to get a desirable browser?

[j4yk]

Nevermind, issue will not be closed because it is about having nodes under the addition, not about browsing the package in a better way. I mixed that up.

Nevertheless, maybe you have an improvement proposal for browse full package anyway.

[LinqLover]

Sorry for the late reply. For me, the acceptance criteria for this issue would be:

• can expand and collapse all members of newly added packages
• can exclude/include single members of newly added packages

Provided that this makes sense to you ... :)

It may be cumbersome to implement with the current model (there is no collection of MCAdditions for everything that is added, but just a snapshot of the new package, so what "exclude" and "include" must do is different than for regular changes to packages), but I understand the usefulness to have the feature.
