Suggestion: Subversion Properties Dialog Revision

[Paul Coddington <pa...@pinkaxolotl.com>]

Tortoise 1.4.1.7992 (I realise there is a new build, but this issue is not in the list of fixes so I think this is still applicable).
 
I think it would be good to have an option to have the original Subversion Properties tab back in Windows Explorer, as the new version is exceptionally difficult to use.

Example:
 
If I want to cut and paste some properties (eg: tsvn:logtemplate, etc) from one working copy to another, I used to be able to open two dialogs only (one each, clearly labelled) and cut and paste directly between them, scroll and compare, etc.  Now I have to open 3 layers of dialogs per working copy and can only access one property at a time.  If I am comparing 3 working copies, thats 9 dialogs open at once, etc.  Three of these dialogs have to be reopened repeatedly, once for each property, and they all start to look the same very quickly (which one belongs to which working copy?).  The end result is that I have to work with one repository, cut and paste properties to Notepad and then work with another.

In short it is a nightmare to use.  I wonder why it has suddenly become so much more complex when it used to be so straightforward and useful?  OK, it is not technically broken, but it seems practically useless for real-world practice from my perspective and makes anything involving properties more prone to error, much harder, more time consuming and more tedious to accomplish.  Surely, it is more work for the development team to build and maintain these extra dialogs that support exactly the same functionality that was originally accomplished within a single dialog?
 
If the new Load and Save buttons worked, there would be a workaround (select and dump all properties and import to the other working copy, then delete the ones not relevant), but as these buttons don't work, this is proving to be a big problem, one almost worthy of rolling back a version.

Paul, TortoiseSVN is a separate project with its own mailinglist, so this is 
the wrong audience here. Follow the links on TSVN's page.

cheers
