New question #82843 on Bazaar Explorer:
https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr-explorer/+question/82843

I have started using Bazaar Explorer seriously under MS Windows for a 
project and have these comments:

System:
MS Windows 7 64
Intel Q6600
4gb RAM
Bazaar Explorer 0.8
BZR v1.18.1

At present Bazaar Explorer (appears to me as) mostly a launch dialog for 
QBZR with file status listing.

Things I'd like to do:
1) See file status icons in the Working Tree view, similar to what 
TortoiseBZR shows in Windows Explorer.
2) Drag and drop files from Windows Explorer into Bazaar Explorer to 
Add, as this is the most common file operation.
3) Have context menus on the Working Tree view for Add, Delete, Ignore, 
Rename, History etc.
4) Multi select (or tag) files (and folders?) in Working Tree view to 
perform common file operations.
5) Toggle style filter the Working Tree view for Versioned, UnVersioned, 
All.
6) Show 'Recent' in the 'Open' view without having to Bookmark folders 
or locations.
7) Show some kind of 'busy' icon or animation when BZR or Bazaar 
Explorer refresh is occurring.  While adding a few hundred files, 
Bazaar Explorer appeared frozen for several minutes but eventually 
completed the operation successfully.
9) Get rid of, or hide the command window that appears on startup.
10) Optionally minimize to task bar notification area.
11) Have Working Tree view remember its expand / collapse state per tree.
12) Have various settings remembered between usage including the main 
window size and position. (I think much of this will relate to QBZR) 
Constantly resizing windows, moving table columns, checking boxes is not 
fun.
13) Have 'What's next' show a 'Ignore' icon.  It already has a Add and 
Delete, in fact it has lots of Add icons.

For...
Settings -> Ignores -> Working Tree Ignores
Settings -> Locations
Settings -> Credentials
...If the configuration file is not present, inform the user and ask 
them if they want the file created.
Any kind of help or documentation on these files syntax would be useful too.

The UI features I'm suggesting (if not obvious and already planned) are 
common to clients like Perforce P4Win and SmartSVN.

I am getting used to the interface but it does not seem 'standard' 
compared to common MS Windows interfaces or other Version Control 
clients.  This is probably due to the 'Welcome' wizard style view and 
the 'Working Tree' not being the dominant interface for all file operations.

If the Working Tree view was fully functional, it would eliminate the 
need for many QBZR dialogs.

I hope this feedback is of some use.
Thank you, and keep up the fine work.
