Sounds intriguing but also I'm afraid somewhat confusing as I now have the
version selection column (keep/skip, Reinstall, Retrieve, 1.4.3, 1.4.4,
uninstall ....) And then I have the source column which dictates if I want the
source for the selected version if I am changing version or I can select source
only for the current version. Now you add a bin column and then I could have
in the version column 1.4.4 (which is not the current installed version) but
have bin and source off which is essentially do nothing (sounds confusing).
How about an alternate approach in terms of get rid of the Source column and
only use the version columns as follows:
keep/skip, uninstall, 1.4.4 bin&src, 1.4.4 bin, 1.4.4 src, reinstall bin&src,
reinstall bin, reinstall src, retrieve bin&src, retrieve bin, retrieve src ...
Just an alternate thought.
