But suppose I recapture every night, and I discover late next week that I need to restore all the way back to 10.4.9 for some reason. I'm probably not going to remember which day I installed the 10.4.10 update. This is why I need layer comments. I'd like some way to tag a layer with a comment, either as I do the capture, or maybe later, in the case of a timed action capture.

I don't know if you're familiar witih Microsoft Windows' System Restore checkpoints, but they have a feature like this, and I've always found it useful.

I'm not sure how the user interface ought to work. For sure, the comments should be optional -- you don't have to have one for every layer. There should probably be an option to add some set comment as part of an action. A comment wouldn't necessarilly have to be long, but at least 40 characters would be nice. Maybe you could show the first part of it in a column in the layers section of an archive window. Move your mouse over the comment and maybe a little tip window shows the full comment. What do you think -- possible?

Or another possibility -- something like the status bar at the bottom of a Safari window. Maybe it should be just about the window split instead. When you hover the mouse over a layer, causing it to highlight, if there's a comment, it shows up in the status bar.

As for an interface, I was thinking of adding an editable "notes" field to the info drawer, akin to the notes of an iCal event.

So, for example, you could make a major change to a file and then attach a capture note. The new version, and the note, would both be added to the archive when the file was captured.]]> https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/39/2833.page https://forums.qrecall.com/posts/preList/39/2833.page GMT
Which is more-or-less to say that what I'm hoping for is something analogous to the commit note provided by subversion.
