3 can "schedule" be a member of job_defs and populated??
5 ========LOW priority items:
6 Human readable in joblist for purged, joblevel and job type.
8 Possibly a stack of past screens so that when you open a window from another,
9 closing would bring the previous one back.
11 ========================================================
14 A page showing a list of schedule resources.
16 A page list of message resources??
18 Kern discussed windows showing statistics like web based interfaces.
20 I think the above is very important.
22 ========================================================
25 The ablility to modify configuration files to create jobs, schedules, filesets
26 and any other director resources.
28 The ablility to modify configuration files to create storage resources.
30 Add a status dir graphical interface. It would auto update every ?? seconds
31 and have a list of scheduled jobs, and in the que to run jobs that could be
32 cancelled graphically.
34 Add a status client window. Keep updating showing what file is being
37 Documentation, Documentation, Documentaion. Help. Add help documentation.
38 Have context sensitve help.
40 bRestore add code to get working.
42 May be in brestore, find a file by name, find a directory by name
44 Interfaces to commands like bextract, bscan, bcopy, btape?????
46 Is there a way to query the director/database for whether a storage is currently
47 mounted so I am not presenting both mount and unmount to the user??
48 Yes, but it requires being able to directly connect to the SD (at least
51 Is there a way to identify a slot as having a cleaning tape???
52 (Kern says more work needs to be done in bacula with autochangers)
53 Yes, there is a cleaning prefix for Volume labels defined in
54 the DIR (not currently available to bat). Typically it is CLNxxx
55 and by looking at the database, you can see these cleaning
59 ===========================================================
61 ===========================================================
63 I'm not sure about this one?? Things seem to work and I did not do a
64 thing to make it happen: the "dir" is a member of Console
66 - We also must somehow make the low level I/O routines know which
67 director/console to use. Currently they always use the single
68 global one defined in the mainWin class (if I remember right).
70 I'm working on this (kes). It is not so simple, but moving forward
73 Create edit pool interface.
74 This is done from config file
76 ============================================================
78 ============================================================
79 See if there is a solution to images fun with designer other than:
80 %s/<iconset>[\.\/]*:images/<iconset>images/g
81 %s/<iconset>images/<iconset>..\/images/g
82 Images that are in the binary are referenced with :/images/...
83 This is a Qt convention. If the image is in a file, it
84 can be referenced directly, but for the most part, I prefer
85 images in the binary (not lost, not accidently deleted, no
86 installation problems, ...
87 Utilizing designer to select the main.qrc resource file seems to do the
88 job. Designer then puts the : in front of images and work.
90 Think about good ways to clean up the Console creation part of the
92 I don't think it is bad as it is. There is, however, a construct
93 called a Factory that could more or less automate this in one
95 Probably not neccesary for the time being.
96 ============================================================
98 ============================================================
99 Use settings object to size the restore window. Similar to the saving of the
100 state of the main window.
102 Add context sensitive options for most commands
105 A window showing a list of jobs and defaults. Defaults can be gotten in manner
106 similar to what the first restore window does.
108 status dir on page select director item
109 All items with jobid= that I thought could work from joblist are done.
112 Preferences for the messages timer.
114 Get the 5 second bring to bottom of console to stop
116 joblist cancel a running job.
118 Fixes to final restore widgets.
120 Set default for replace in run restore job to "always"??????
122 Option in joblist like with restore from jobid but restore populating timestamp
125 User preferences. With log to stdout options.
126 Have settings for defaults of limits on joblist
128 Resolve issue of connection during restore selection. Could go with preempt of
129 connections. Temporary resolution is in. (Kern is to work on)
131 Further testing of restore with .mod
132 Tested a few things, not all.
134 Add fileset to joblist.
136 Test left pane of restore with 2 windows drives in one backup job.
137 Yup, id didn't work, now it does.
139 Purging not working from console or from context sensitive.
140 This was a confusion with the restore command. Now resolved.
142 Can produce a segfault by attempting to restore from a restore job. In
143 pre-restore, prevent a job in the list from being a restore job.
145 Need to figure out the functionality and inteligence that the last restore
146 window should have and give it to it. Right now it shows drop downs with no
149 Allow for selecting multiple jobs to restore from in joblist. Right click
150 restore from job works, but not with multiple selected jobs.
152 See if it would be possible to have user provided console text show up in a
155 Get status codes in dropdown for joblist select.
157 Create class to display messages from a specific job. Want the ability to
158 create an instance of that class from joblist.
160 Color code termination code in joblist. I also want a table to convert
161 termination code into human readable text.
163 show purged flag in joblist. Don't have purge option show if already purged.
166 MainWin::setContextMenuDockText
167 MainWin::setTreeWidgetItemDockColor
170 preempt all connections to console with
171 if (!is_connectedGui())
172 or some other mechanism. May find more as users start finding them.
174 Create documentation for any other developers interested in creating
175 new classes to add more pages. Explain how to use the pages class
176 and about not populating until the tree widget is clicked etc...
178 Add numerous are you sure dialog boxes. Like are you sure you want to
179 delete/purge that volume. Show a little of the documentation about what
180 the consequences of delete or purging are.
182 A Tree widget context sensitive menu option and class to jump from known job
183 to surf the filestructure on the job.
184 This was future, but it is kind of done with restore from jobid
186 Get rid of "Warning: name layoutWidget is already used" when make uic's restore.ui
188 Create the ability to start a restore from joblist. Right click, select
189 "restore from Jobid=xx" create an instance of restore defaulting in the jobid
190 or a list of selected jobs.
192 Update README describe bat.conf.example to bat.conf
194 Test restore and get anything not working, working.
195 Add inteligence to prerestore.
197 Color code Media Red->Error Append->green Full/Used->Yellow
199 Get restore into stack.
200 Should the jobs dialog be turned into a page as well??
201 Possilbe: Turn run and label into docked pages. (remove button bar buttons??)
203 Where and bootstrap are confused in runjobs of restore.
204 This was just the labels.
206 Create list of what does not work.
207 From what I can tell, just the restore window on the left.
209 Add option to LIMIT the number of jobs shown in all jobs page for users with
210 multiple hundreds to thousands of jobs.
212 Play with includes to Make these compiles shorter.
213 moved includes of of includes and into files only console.h should be long
215 relabel storage=DDS3 oldvolume=ddsvol003 volume=dds3vol003 slot=3 pool=dds3_hope
216 in label slot spinner, limit the upper to the value of slots for that storage.
218 Fix bug in myth box not working with .sql query="" command.
219 This was a fix in mysql
221 Figure out how to get tables like Joblist to do the equivalent of double clicking
222 on the separating lines between each of the headings.
223 Tried the hard way first. Oops.
225 If the console command line entry docked widget gets the focus, make
226 m_currentConsole the top widget by setting the treewidgetitem selected.
227 Did this in MainWin::input_line almost better to let the person see
228 whatever they want until they hit enter.
230 Set Window titles to reflect what director it is.
232 Must:: get page selector to follow undocked windows. Otherwise
233 current console won't be current.
235 Re-add class for storage, I accidentally reverted because I left
236 it on my laptop. This is why I like committing often.
238 Add class for FileSets
240 Another idea for what you have implemented:
241 - I think that the dynamic pages that you create on the fly
242 should be nested under the item that creates them more like a
245 For example: Jobs on Volume xxx, probably should be shown under
246 "All Jobs" (or Media if that is what created it) and "Jobs of
247 Client Rufus" probably should be shown under "Clients". I base
248 this on looking at the Select page list after I have brought up 3
249 or 4 dynamic pages. Once there are a good number, I get a bit
250 confused where they came from. This would also permit selecting
251 multipe Volumes then displaying multiple pages, one for each
252 Volume selected. If they are nested, then that nested level can
253 be expanded or collapsed, which would be pretty cool at keeping
254 information, but getting it out of the way, sort of like what
255 happens for a directory tree.
258 My original concept was to put these in a tabbed widget. Your Idea may
259 make for a cleaner user experience. I like it. It could save the
260 effort of getting a tabbed widget to work.
263 - I think we need to make the current Director more explicit, by
264 perhaps highlighting it in the page selector when it is current
265 and unhighlighting it when it is not (we could use color as we do
266 for the console, though some color blind people may have
269 - When any director is clicked, we need to set it as the current
270 director and set the current console as well.
272 Remove DoubleClicking, From pages class not needed any more.
274 Broken with multiple directors:
275 - If you click on the second director, it will probably open, but
276 none of the pages that are defined below it will be able to talk
277 to it. They will most likely talk to the first director.
279 - When any console is clicked we need to set it as the current
280 console (m_console) and also set its director as the current
281 director (m_topItem). These are in the mainwin class.
283 - When any page is selected, we must set both the current
284 director (m_topItem) and current console (m_console) that this
285 page is connected to.
288 m_topItem has been changed to Console::directorTreeItem()
289 m_currentConsole->directorTreeItem(); returns disired treeWidgetItem
291 - We also need a concept of a "local" director/console for each
292 page, so the page knows who it is talking to -- this doesn't
293 currently exist, so I think we must pass the director and console
294 to each page widget constructor.
297 m_currentConsole is saved in each page subclass's m_console. This value
298 is set by all but the console class calling Pages::pgInitialie() in it's
301 In short, there is a lot of work to be done to make multiple
302 simultaneous directors work.
307 If the above prooves to be too much, we might consider to only
308 have a single director at a time, and simply let the user select
309 which director he wants to connect to (one at a time, but
310 dynamically). In the end, this may be the best thing to do, so
311 any user who wishes to connect to multiple directors would run
312 two instances of bat. I am a bit unsure now, but the above list
313 of things to do is much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
