Problems with Mercurial->Status in NB 6.0

Mon Jan 14 02:54:33 PST 2008

I think I found the problem. All the trouble is because the hotspot
makefile is not in the base hotspot directory, but in the hotspot/make
subdirectory. For some reason - in my eys this is a bug - NB only
considers files in the "Working Directory" which by default is the
directory which contains the Makefile. I think it sould consider all
the files that are added as sourcefiles (for Mercurail actions as well
as in the Files view).

What di you think?

If I change the Working directory to be "hotspot", the Mercurial
status report for the project works as expected ans also the "Files"
view displays all the source files that belong to the project. Only
the Mercurial action for directories is still missing, but this is
probaly another problem.
