Task List
|
Open Repository Tasks |
The opening of repository tasks has been streamlined and integrated into the top of the Task Search (Ctrl+H) dialog, and facilitates opening tasks that are not in the Task List by their key/ID. Entering text into the Find box of the Task List will cause a hyperlink to the search dialog to appear just below the box. If the contents of the Find box look like a task key/ID, they will be used to populate the Task Search dialog. The Ctrl+Shift+F12 shortcut can also be used to invoke this action, and will additionally inspect the contents of the clipboard to look for a task key/ID to populate the Task Search dialog with. The Ctrl+F12 Open Task dialog also provides a link to the Task Search page.
Note that off a task is selected in the active editor or the Task List, the repository in the Search dialog will be now automatically set to the corresponding repository, otherwise the previous repository will be used. The previous Open Repository Task dialog, disabled by default in Mylyn 2.0, can still be accessed via Ctrl+Shift+F12. Since the new functionality replaces this dialog the plan is to remove the old dialog for Mylyn 2.1 (see bug 193423). |

Task Editor
|
Attach Screenshots |
In order to attach a screenshot to a repository task, use Task Editor -> Attachments -> Attach File... and choose Screenshot as the attachment source. You can then use the Capture button one or more times in order to grab your entire desktop. In order to only submit a part of the desktop, create a crop rectangle by dragging the mouse, then submit the screenshot. Use the Fit image button in order to zoom in to see the screenshot at its native resolution. Screenshots are attached in the JPEG format.
