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
57 ===========================================================
59 ===========================================================
61 I'm not sure about this one?? Things seem to work and I did not do a
62 thing to make it happen: the "dir" is a member of Console
64 - We also must somehow make the low level I/O routines know which
65 director/console to use. Currently they always use the single
66 global one defined in the mainWin class (if I remember right).
68 I'm working on this (kes). It is not so simple, but moving forward
71 Create edit pool interface.
72 This is done from config file
74 ============================================================
76 ============================================================
77 See if there is a solution to images fun with designer other than:
78 %s/<iconset>[\.\/]*:images/<iconset>images/g
79 %s/<iconset>images/<iconset>..\/images/g
80 Images that are in the binary are referenced with :/images/...
81 This is a Qt convention. If the image is in a file, it
82 can be referenced directly, but for the most part, I prefer
83 images in the binary (not lost, not accidently deleted, no
84 installation problems, ...
85 Utilizing designer to select the main.qrc resource file seems to do the
86 job. Designer then puts the : in front of images and work.
88 Think about good ways to clean up the Console creation part of the
90 I don't think it is bad as it is. There is, however, a construct
91 called a Factory that could more or less automate this in one
93 Probably not neccesary for the time being.
94 ============================================================
96 ============================================================
97 Use settings object to size the restore window. Similar to the saving of the
98 state of the main window.
100 Add context sensitive options for most commands
103 A window showing a list of jobs and defaults. Defaults can be gotten in manner
104 similar to what the first restore window does.
106 status dir on page select director item
107 All items with jobid= that I thought could work from joblist are done.
110 Preferences for the messages timer.
112 Get the 5 second bring to bottom of console to stop
114 joblist cancel a running job.
116 Fixes to final restore widgets.
118 Set default for replace in run restore job to "always"??????
120 Option in joblist like with restore from jobid but restore populating timestamp
123 User preferences. With log to stdout options.
124 Have settings for defaults of limits on joblist
126 Resolve issue of connection during restore selection. Could go with preempt of
127 connections. Temporary resolution is in. (Kern is to work on)
129 Further testing of restore with .mod
130 Tested a few things, not all.
132 Add fileset to joblist.
134 Test left pane of restore with 2 windows drives in one backup job.
135 Yup, id didn't work, now it does.
137 Purging not working from console or from context sensitive.
138 This was a confusion with the restore command. Now resolved.
140 Can produce a segfault by attempting to restore from a restore job. In
141 pre-restore, prevent a job in the list from being a restore job.
143 Need to figure out the functionality and inteligence that the last restore
144 window should have and give it to it. Right now it shows drop downs with no
147 Allow for selecting multiple jobs to restore from in joblist. Right click
148 restore from job works, but not with multiple selected jobs.
150 See if it would be possible to have user provided console text show up in a
153 Get status codes in dropdown for joblist select.
155 Create class to display messages from a specific job. Want the ability to
156 create an instance of that class from joblist.
158 Color code termination code in joblist. I also want a table to convert
159 termination code into human readable text.
161 show purged flag in joblist. Don't have purge option show if already purged.
164 MainWin::setContextMenuDockText
165 MainWin::setTreeWidgetItemDockColor
168 preempt all connections to console with
169 if (!is_connectedGui())
170 or some other mechanism. May find more as users start finding them.
172 Create documentation for any other developers interested in creating
173 new classes to add more pages. Explain how to use the pages class
174 and about not populating until the tree widget is clicked etc...
176 Add numerous are you sure dialog boxes. Like are you sure you want to
177 delete/purge that volume. Show a little of the documentation about what
178 the consequences of delete or purging are.
180 A Tree widget context sensitive menu option and class to jump from known job
181 to surf the filestructure on the job.
182 This was future, but it is kind of done with restore from jobid
184 Get rid of "Warning: name layoutWidget is already used" when make uic's restore.ui
186 Create the ability to start a restore from joblist. Right click, select
187 "restore from Jobid=xx" create an instance of restore defaulting in the jobid
188 or a list of selected jobs.
190 Update README describe bat.conf.example to bat.conf
192 Test restore and get anything not working, working.
193 Add inteligence to prerestore.
195 Color code Media Red->Error Append->green Full/Used->Yellow
197 Get restore into stack.
198 Should the jobs dialog be turned into a page as well??
199 Possilbe: Turn run and label into docked pages. (remove button bar buttons??)
201 Where and bootstrap are confused in runjobs of restore.
202 This was just the labels.
204 Create list of what does not work.
205 From what I can tell, just the restore window on the left.
207 Add option to LIMIT the number of jobs shown in all jobs page for users with
208 multiple hundreds to thousands of jobs.
210 Play with includes to Make these compiles shorter.
211 moved includes of of includes and into files only console.h should be long
213 relabel storage=DDS3 oldvolume=ddsvol003 volume=dds3vol003 slot=3 pool=dds3_hope
214 in label slot spinner, limit the upper to the value of slots for that storage.
216 Fix bug in myth box not working with .sql query="" command.
217 This was a fix in mysql
219 Figure out how to get tables like Joblist to do the equivalent of double clicking
220 on the separating lines between each of the headings.
221 Tried the hard way first. Oops.
223 If the console command line entry docked widget gets the focus, make
224 m_currentConsole the top widget by setting the treewidgetitem selected.
225 Did this in MainWin::input_line almost better to let the person see
226 whatever they want until they hit enter.
228 Set Window titles to reflect what director it is.
230 Must:: get page selector to follow undocked windows. Otherwise
231 current console won't be current.
233 Re-add class for storage, I accidentally reverted because I left
234 it on my laptop. This is why I like committing often.
236 Add class for FileSets
238 Another idea for what you have implemented:
239 - I think that the dynamic pages that you create on the fly
240 should be nested under the item that creates them more like a
243 For example: Jobs on Volume xxx, probably should be shown under
244 "All Jobs" (or Media if that is what created it) and "Jobs of
245 Client Rufus" probably should be shown under "Clients". I base
246 this on looking at the Select page list after I have brought up 3
247 or 4 dynamic pages. Once there are a good number, I get a bit
248 confused where they came from. This would also permit selecting
249 multipe Volumes then displaying multiple pages, one for each
250 Volume selected. If they are nested, then that nested level can
251 be expanded or collapsed, which would be pretty cool at keeping
252 information, but getting it out of the way, sort of like what
253 happens for a directory tree.
256 My original concept was to put these in a tabbed widget. Your Idea may
257 make for a cleaner user experience. I like it. It could save the
258 effort of getting a tabbed widget to work.
261 - I think we need to make the current Director more explicit, by
262 perhaps highlighting it in the page selector when it is current
263 and unhighlighting it when it is not (we could use color as we do
264 for the console, though some color blind people may have
267 - When any director is clicked, we need to set it as the current
268 director and set the current console as well.
270 Remove DoubleClicking, From pages class not needed any more.
272 Broken with multiple directors:
273 - If you click on the second director, it will probably open, but
274 none of the pages that are defined below it will be able to talk
275 to it. They will most likely talk to the first director.
277 - When any console is clicked we need to set it as the current
278 console (m_console) and also set its director as the current
279 director (m_topItem). These are in the mainwin class.
281 - When any page is selected, we must set both the current
282 director (m_topItem) and current console (m_console) that this
283 page is connected to.
286 m_topItem has been changed to Console::directorTreeItem()
287 m_currentConsole->directorTreeItem(); returns disired treeWidgetItem
289 - We also need a concept of a "local" director/console for each
290 page, so the page knows who it is talking to -- this doesn't
291 currently exist, so I think we must pass the director and console
292 to each page widget constructor.
295 m_currentConsole is saved in each page subclass's m_console. This value
296 is set by all but the console class calling Pages::pgInitialie() in it's
299 In short, there is a lot of work to be done to make multiple
300 simultaneous directors work.
305 If the above prooves to be too much, we might consider to only
306 have a single director at a time, and simply let the user select
307 which director he wants to connect to (one at a time, but
308 dynamically). In the end, this may be the best thing to do, so
309 any user who wishes to connect to multiple directors would run
310 two instances of bat. I am a bit unsure now, but the above list
311 of things to do is much bigger than I thought it was going to be.
