Re: [Planner Dev] Suggestion for easier Resource allocation - can I have a look at this ?.

["lincoln phipps openmutual net" <lincoln phipps openmutual net>]

Screen grab of what done to date.

A question : if I use Glade2 to create a new dialog box
do I have to click the build within Glade2 ? If so whats
the project settings for this.

The Link button/Menus works fine (patch sent in). The
Resource/Use Resource just has empty routines until
I work out using the dialog box stuff.

Same logic - shift/ctrl click 1 or more tasks and then
click Resource button or select Action -> Use Resource
menu item. Set/Unset or inconsistent use of resource/s
then applies to all selected tasks.

Is this what people wanted as a first step ?. I feel
it'd work for me OK. I see it in use as in the workflow
scenario of ...

"That task, that task, and that task will be
done by you, you and you."

would be effected by end user actions of click task +
ctrl-click task + ctrl-click task -> resource button click ->
check resources you1 , you2 and you3 and then click OK.

Should be quick enough.

Rgds,
Lincoln.
