Yeah, maybe, but I don't think that holds up for last week sometime.
Today, yesterday maybe, but beyond that I'm not so sure.
Besides, if the bottom pane displayed modified times, and had columns to sort by, you can still get those "breadcrumbs".
I remember when I first started using BHB: I found it really confusing. Now, I've learned what it does, but in my extensive usability studies (with 1 user
), it was found to be hard figure out what it was doing.
Another bit of functionality that is missing from the UI (my UI idea doesn't cover it either) is multiple files point in time: Pick a timestamp, now every file that you View or Diff you will default to using the version of that file as it existed at that timestamp. Select a folder, hit "diff" and you get a multi-file diff against the current version of each of the files under that folder, and the version at the selected point in time.
Make "Restore" also handle folders.
Add a "Copy" button to let you restore the selected files / folders to a different location.
