Re: [development] Perm for setting RTBC - Re: RTBC - how does it work?
to this excellent list i would like to add: - the ability to manually subscribe/unsubscribe to/from an issue. the 'my issues' queue would be much friendlier if this level of intelligence was added. my 'my issues' screen currently has about 5 pages, maybe 3 of which contain issues where i left a passing comment, and am no longer focusing on. - somebody mentioned it before, but let's make sure it's counted: a way to perform some mass operations on the results of the search page. like mass changing the status of issues, or mass assigning/ unassigning. - this may be reaching a little, but AJAX teasers for issues? i think the above would help to make the search results pages operate more like a 'command center' for patch reviews.

- Selecting things in small select boxes is a pain. You can't see your full selection and lose it with one click while not holding down the right keys. I would recommend checkboxes instead. - There is no way to select all of 5.x or 4.7.x. - The defaults include support requests. Does anyone actually leave that selected? - There are better page layout mechanisms than the arbitrary table. Make sure things are in places that make sense. - A little bit more descriptive text can get new users up to speed faster, but not get in the way of power users.
On to the results page: - This is a good page to come back to, but getting a specific url for it requires knowing to click the # hidden at the bottom. We should go directly to the permanent link. - The dropdowns are inadequate to represent your search and are often wrong. A full description of the search should be shown, even if it is not editable. The dropdowns should probably be skipped all together. - There is no way to get to a pre-filled advanced search screen from your current results. Making minor adjustments to the search is impossible, unless you are lucky enough to have it in your browser history. - A line saying how many issues were found would help with tracking progress.
