8650 - Allow easy access to queries through initial screen.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement, P3)

Description

It would be nice if you could see your stored queries and execute one on the
initial screen.  Currently you have to go in to the query screen link, select a
radio button, choice box and press a button.  If stored queries could be
converted into links on the initial page, it would make life easier.

Hmm...  Two ideas to simply this process without major changes to Bugzilla:

1) Why not bookmark the queries page yourself?

2) I think the queries page could perhaps be simplifies a little, so there
wouldn't be so much clicking/radio button changing needed.  Ideas for this?

I do have bookmarks right now.  But bookmarks are more difficult to handle
than stored queries as I want them.  When you're at Bugzilla, you see the
Bugzilla queries, and don't have to wade down several levels of bookmark
folders.

But the fact that there are stored queries implies you aren't meant to use
bookmarks.  There should be one or the other.  Hence I think this should be
done, or the stored queries should be removed altogether.

Most of my suggestions about Bugzilla are tending to make the query page (among
others) a little bigger, although I do have one coming that will make it a bit
smaller.

There is now a way to put your named queries as links in the footer box on every
page.  (Go see your user preferences.)  I consider that good enough to fix this
bug.

per Terry, auto-verifying any resolved bug that hasn't been touched since before 
2.10 was released.
