Here's the most recent design for the Save panel that could accommodate a Version field:

    * Make a dropmarker button next to the Save button:

            +------+---+
            | Save | v |
            +------+---+

    * When the user presses the dropmarker button, drop down a dialog that gives the user the option to specify a commit message and provides an indication of which revision the user will be creating:

            +------+---+
            | Save | v |
            +------+---+--------------+
            | Comment:  (revision 57) |
            | +---------------------+ |
            | |                     | |
            | |                     | |
            | |                     | |
            | |                     | |
            | +---------------------+ |
            +-------------------------+

After thinking about it a bit more, however, I'm not 100% sure this is where it belongs, since the more common workflow might be to save a revision, test it, and then decide to release it as a specific version, whereupon there is nothing to save except for the new version value.

We should change the drop down form to contain version (moved from the main name)

            +------+---+
            | Save | v |
            +------+---+--------------+
            | Version: (1.5.rev57)    |
            | +---------------------+ |
            | |                     | |
            | +---------------------+ |
            | Comment:                |
            | +---------------------+ |
            | |                     | |
            | |                     | |
            | |                     | |
            | |                     | |
            | +---------------------+ |
            +-------------------------+


I think it might be also better to have the drop down activated by hover on the whole button (at least on the [v]). It will work as a remainder for adding the comments of the revisions. All common VCS are working that way. if no description specified - system will ask for it.

Just as a side note - no need for a required description

Comment 4

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

I'm clearing out dusty old bugs from Bugzilla. Current BAMO release looks like the mockup in comment 2 (though it doesn't display the revision in parentheses).

Feel free to reopen this if that's still wanted/needed. :)
