[Toaster] all tasks

[Reyna, David]

Hi Ravi,

I am having problems with the bread crumbs. Did you get the intermediate back link to "Tasks" in your tasks detail page? I am not seeing my "Recipes" backlink, nor any obvious way to add it. I will have to start my google search.

We could have a specific view for displaying files. I would think that there would be four ways to view the file. At the top of the page we can perhaps display the total number of lines, to help guide the user in selecting the appropriate template.

  (a) This option would display only the end of the log file. As per the command line, the last n (~50) lines are the most valuable if there is an error, and if you are being interactive in the manner with Toaster I think that what you are doing is trying to resolve builds. I would propose that this be the default display, where the other modes would be selectable in the side bar.

  (b) To address your point, the next display could be by pages, where there is a default line count much as there already a record count option in the current views. 

  (c) I would think that we would still want to offer a continuous display choice, for those that want to view, cut, and paste the whole content without it paginated as per option "b".

  (d) Finally, we should offer the file download option.
