Hi,

Wanted to know if a new version of Power tools is under development? I find this version a little buggy.

Also found this suggestion. Would be great if we can have this feature.

Lastly, is there some documentation on creating workitems in VSTS 2010? as i am looking at converting my 2008 work items to 2010 as a POC (i am really thrilled with the new LinksControl :))

Thanks,

Rohit

Hi,

I am not sure if this is a common issue, but the Process Template Editor tends to slow down after few uses. Some times it takes a good 1 minute to load the properties for a workflow state. I have to restart VS 2008 in order to get this working.

This never happened in the July 08 edition. I went back to July 08 edition for a few weeks and it worked like a charm. Once i came back to the new version, i am facing the same issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Rohit

Hi,

It does not work for me.

When I re-start VS, error shows again. Personal settings now can be opened, but instead of showing <None>, again appears Windows Live Messanger. It seems that the configuration file , even that is changed , is re-generated again.

Also, I have Xp and if I set "Run as" administrator for the messenger application, it does not work for me.

It seems that this collaboration feature has not been tested enought and can not even be uninstalled or deactivated !

I hope this gets solved soon. If not, I will uninstalled the whole Power tool.

Best,

Hope anyone solves this ,

Best,

Carlos.

I should add I came across this article as I was looking to see if an IM code review utility had been created. I am presently working within a dev team that is currently distributed across the world, quite often we're needing to discuss code, having such a tool would be great.

I've thought a lot about code reviews and it's high on my list of possible Power Tools candidates. There's two forms of code review and both are interesting - interactive and non-interactive. I've been thinking we'd start with non-interactive because it's the more general case and then add interactive capabilities later. I'm thinking it may be that we will do this as a Power Tool on top of VS/TFS 2010 because there are some new editor capabilities in that version that will make it tremendously easier/better.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Brian
