Big Thanks to Testers
Thanks to everyone that tested Ground Control yesterday and today. Your bug reports and ideas have been a boost to refining for a new version. We also got some wonderful merge requests from people who fixes things as a simple as spelling to as interestng as making project directories have bzr control configurations. Wonderfully it’s all been top notch and everything’s been merged.
So what do we have for the next version:
- A way to restart nautilus or request restart when you install.
- A way to make the projects directory if it doesn’t exist, or select a different directory.
- Dealing with pulling the parent directory back in (updating), but will only be available _before_ a merge request.
- Allow the merge request information to change the status so successfully merged branches should do a different thing.
- We do need someone who can add in translation support, it’s still beyond my ability to get that working, volunteers neded
- Bazaar gtk has a wonderful diff view I may take advantage of, save a lot of coding inside the project.
- Already I’ve improved some of the displays etc to add in an icon for the project and remove the description as it’s unwieldy
The next version will hopefully be 1.1.0, I’ll post here on my blog when it’s released and get you to test it again!
Post below or into the Launchpad Bugs your ideas and problems.

I am really liking groundcontrol. I think points one and two are important as not everyone knows to go to Read Me files (Which provides a nice explanation of what and how, you need to accomplish these things). I think this will not only lower the bar for non developers wishing to contribute to documentation projects, but also provides an alternative to the command line. I love the command line but, but certain GUI programs win me over. I am already liking the feel of this and can see my self defaulting to this GUI option.
I also joked that this will help me keep all my projects in one directory
What was that New Years Resolution, if only i could find it….oh yeah be more organized.
Keep up the good work!
> A way to make the projects directory if it doesn’t exist, or select a different directory.
The program created the Projects folder right away.
How to I put it in /usr/local/src?
Why did it not aks me where to put on installation?
BTW, it does not download any code when I click OK in fetch project.
Wher shall I report bugs?
