Maestro: Show dependencies

[jbirch]

It would be nice to be able to see a resource dependency tree (in both directions) for any given resource.

Yes. I would place such a menu in the right click on a resource in the tree to the left. Do you have another suggestion?

Once the list is visible, what actions should be possible?

[jbirch]

Hmm. Good question.

An obvious one would be to navigate to the resources. Or to select multiple resources and click on "Open". Obviously couldn't do this as a treeview though :) I'm surprised there isn't a decent multi-select treeview for .Net.

Would it make sense to have this as a non-modal stay-on-top navigator window, so you could move it off to the side and work your way through the list fixing up references to point to different resources?

There is potential for a "Replace With" function, but with the possibility of replacing with a resource that doesn't match this might not be worth implementing.

At least the "view dependencies" part should be done for 2.0.

Fixed in r3867. I have added the references to the properties dialog. You can double click an item to open it.
