outlooktfsconnector's Issues

Add Proper Logging and nested exceptions handling

add an option to provide from and date like in email forwards

when you forward an email it adds a heading, would be nice to add it to the tfs item

add an option to provide parent element

provide parent element in tfs and read the iteration path from there

improve image handling

it would be nice if embedded images would be uploaded into the body exactly where they belong in the original

Requested Clipboard operation did not succeed

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5707990/requested-clipboard-operation-did-not-succeed

add an option to override last email attachement with the same name

when you attach a message maybe the previous message could be deleted from tfs? needs to be thought through really, maybethe message with same comment or some kind of ui to select....

check on production tfs - not working

item urls in the output message box are incorrect

add the VSTO runtime description to the readme.

the vsto runtime has to be downloaded in order for this addin to work.

add regex to auto detect the issue number from the email subject.

i figured out one more requirement. the plugin shoud use regular expressions to detect the bug number from the subject if possible
​[11:50 AM] Bakirov, Marat
i.e. if subject says #1111 something it should figure out to update issue number 1111

Sort out the certificate once and for all - the current one does not work on insight computers.

move installer to wix toolset

add the unblock information

the files might be blocked so the additonal powershell command might be required

get-childitem "C:\Users\winaero\Downloads" | unblock-file

add an option to store TFS creds and URL more securely

maybe registry or outlook storage?, maybe user tokens should be crypted?

Colour coding if the item is found or not

if an item can't be found by looking up the number (e.g. because the wrong TFS project is selected or the item number is invalid/mistyped), can the error message be shown in a colour or with a colour background, e.g. red, so that it stands out abit more? Minor cosmetic improvemen

use system temp environment variable as opposed of hardcoded for attachement folder

make the original solution work

when doing updates, allow user to choose between comment and updating the main body or updating the last comment

the button does not show up in ribbon in the meeting responses

sometimes meeting response "accepted/rejected" contains some valuable info. for some reason the button does not show up in the ribbon for meeting responses.

add the adding to the "do not disable" list

as per this article for another addin.

To block Outlook from disabling the add-in again, you have to add a new registry key:

Open Registry editor
Go to Registry Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Resiliency\DoNotDisableAddinList
Create a new DWORD (32-bit) value:
Name: TeamsAddin.FastConnect

Value: 1

add the button to all relevant message tabs (read/edit)

add an option to update existing item

add an option to update existing item

when assigned to is not correct error should be processed

it does not come as exception. should be processed and displayed to the user

find and add richtext/html control for the body text

unblock the severity/priority

cannot add user story when creating a new item.

when creating new item report back the id in a nice way so it can be copied, copy to clipboard

attachements comment anchor incorrect

attachements comment anchor incorrect
looks weird when resizing the window

in the simplified ribbon mode only show icon without text

in the simplified ribbon mode only show icon without text

add an option to provide attachements comment

improve the outlook startup speed

For now the connector loads all the setting synchroniously during startup.
this causes extra 1.7-2 second delay and outlook complains about it.

it would be nice if the settings were loaded asyncrhoniously then we would save some time.

dynamically read work item types when project is selected

should be able to read all possible item types from the tfs.
the last one used should be somehow easily accessible...

add a mini installer - for non admin situations

when the user has no rights , how can they register the addin?

adding to tfs not working in groups discussions

Process body plus all previous replies

would be nice to get not just the email body but all previous replies, i think that can be a checkbox to set it or maybe an optional settting. probably should be done after rich text as then the text would be easier to edit.

open the dialog fails on certain emails

open dialog silently fails sometimes.

add an end user doco

bug: attachment comment does not respond correct when the tool is resized

issues connecting to the cloud devops from outlook

from about 09/2022 some weird security errors are coming up . same code works outside outlook that is weird

Add option to attach the whole message

add an option to provide areas and iterations instead of copying from parent

urgent - check tls version

check if the tls 1.2 is supported...

assigned to should be removed or user editable

Move settings dialog to backstage

remove the dialog on operation completion..

definetely remove on save and close, find some way to do it on "save" so less clicks need to be done.

Proper installer

enhance attachements display - at least sizes but better to have preview

Would be nice is to have a perview of the attachements, especially if they are images, to figure out which are really matter...

maybe the ones used in the main body text should go first.

process multiple tasks in the subject line

Once we figure out how to do updates, we need to have an option to process more than one number in the subject line, maybe to have checkboxes that would allow us to select which one to attach to?

add settings dialog

would be cool if we could store more than one tfs cres, plus additional options if we need to, i.e. the regex for the task ids in the subject line

priority/severity/tfs chosen etc remember last values
