<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Gabor, finally found some time to
work on this. Should be done in the next day or so and will post a
video here first for review and comments before making it public
(committing).<br>
<br>
I'd like for you to send me some text about yourself that I can
put on the blog when writing about this new feature - just
anything you would want readers to know about you. If you could
send me that this week I'd really appreciate it.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

<div>If you unzip the folder somewhere, the editor.html can be
loaded statically from the file. I have this folder so that I
can test some changes faster, without actually starting the
editor.</div>
<div>To install it in the actual editor, you have to put the
localhistory.js on the web root (next to editor.html), and add
this fragment to the editor.html (right after div
class='processdata' for example, in the body element)</div>

This will put that transparent white box on the top left corner
of the editor frame. This 'solution' will be replaced by
properly registering localhistory as a plugin of course :)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
There are some TODO-s and questions in the localhistory.js .</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Feedback is welcome :) I'll go on cleaning this up so that
this can integrate nicely to the editor.</div>

<div>Thanks for the ping, yes, I'd still like to contribute,
it's just that the company had some other priorities these
weeks, but i'll find some time to clean things up a bit.</div>
<div>There are some questions still:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><i>accessing</i>: I didn't yet scan the source to
check how to put an icon in the toolbar to display the
local history panel. I guess the best approach will be
to make this localhistory thing a plugin, so I can
start by taking the servicerepo plugin as an example.
For the prototype, I modified the editor.html and
added a transparent div, and the panel shows up by
clicking on that.</li>
<li><i>when to create an entry</i>: currently I check
the json source of the model every 10 seconds, and if
it's changed, I create an entry. Maybe this should be
extended by somehow grouping these entries. For
example, if the user keeps editing actively for two
minutes, I keep only one entry, updating that entry
every 10 seconds. But if the editing period is longer
than two minutes for example, I keep one entry for
each two minutes block. If the user edits for 30
seconds, then waits two minutes, then edits again, two
entries will be created again. Something like this
might be useful to keep the history reasonably small,
but still quite useful and real-time.</li>
<li><i>when entries expire</i>: entries don't yet
expire, so the local storage can get full after some
time. You can delete all entries at once. I think we
should add the possibility to delete entries
individually, and to configure that after a specific
time, entries are autmatically deleted. Or maybe, for
entries older than one hour, we keep entries only in 5
minutes granularity, after two hours, every 1 hours,
and one entry for each day older than 24 hours. Or
maybe this is unnecessary for our scope ...</li>
</ul>
<div>What do you think the best way would be to share the
prototype with you? Well, maybe just emailing the files
will be enough for now.</div>
</div>
<div>I'll try to clean up the source tonight and send you an
initial version, so that you can take a look and try.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div>Hi Gabor - that looks impressive
and useful for the community. I'd be
happy to work with you to incorporate
this functionality into the Designer
codebase and promote you as community
contributor for jBPM. Let's chat on
IRC (#jbpm or #jbpmdev on <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://irc.freenode.net"
target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a>).

<blockquote type="cite">Hello,
<div>We've created a prototype for a
local history functionality for the
jbpm-designer, we needed it for
multiple reasons. It stores data in
the browser localStorage, so it also
serves a bit like 'undo after save'.
It checks the json representation of
the process every minute and if it
differs, it creates a new local
history entry, including a
thumbnailed screenshot. It's
available after browser restart too,
so if you accidentally close the
browser, you can still restore your
work.</div>
<div>Here's a small screenshot.</div>
