Question

Here's my situation. I'm looking at a list of bugs, lets say "bugs to be triaged". I have ~150 bugs in this list, and I'm iterating through the list using the view case page and the arrow keys.

In a separate browser tab, I need to be able run other queries as I look for bugs trying to relate/find duplicates/parent cases/etc.

The word wheel in the dupe/parent case fields helps sometimes but you don't always remember enough to find the bug. For example, you just remember it's assigned to John Doe, so you open another tab, query assignedTo:"John Doe" and then you find the bug.

Here's the specific problem: When you run a query in a second tab, and then you iterate to the next bug in the first tab, it reverts to the query you ran in the second tab. How can I get around this problem, it's SUPER annoying!

Answer 1

I've opened a case to look into this. As you noted, we store the user's current filter in the database, so it follows you around.

Maybe we can do something to remember the old filter for as long as you remain in case view mode so they arrow keys work as expected.

Answer 2

You can have multiple filters open.

In one tab, pick a filter. Then on the far right, click the "More" link, then select Permanent Link.

Repeat for each filter you want open simultaneously.

Obviously not a great solution, Ken, but if you do have a second browser you could use it for your second view. It would be cool to use the tabs like you suggest though.

Answer 4

I needed to look at more than one filter at a time also. Since we are working on multiple projects at the same time.

The solution could be (permanent) browser cookies. It would be nice to select a fogbugz-user option: "allow multiple filters via cookie" or so.

When I reopen my Browser (Opera) I have it reload all Tabs from the day before - which is a VERY handy and productive way of continuing your work.
