3.1  The Advanced Find Dialog Window

When you left click on a Monotone Browser window's Advanced Find button you will be presented with a dialog window like the one shown below.

Like the Monotone Browser window, this one is also split into five distinctive areas:

  • Mode - This panel simply allows you to select the type of query that you wish to perform, either a simple query or an advanced one.

  • Simple Query - This panel operates in a very similar fashion to the View panel found on a Monotone Browser window (see Section 2.4.1), apart from all the revision buttons are missing and it operates in a slightly less restrictive manor.

  • Advanced Query - This panel allows one to directly enter Monotone database queries, it also provides some tools to help those that are not familiar with Monotone's query syntax.

  • Revisions - This panel displays a list of revisions that match the query, along with details about the branches that they are on, their dates and their authors.

  • Details - This panel simply displays the full change log for the revision currently selected in the Revisions panel.
