I am very disappointed in the upgrade from CodeCollaborator 6 to 7. I haven't found anything that I like better in the new version.
Here are a number of dislikes that I have.
1) CodeCollaborator seems to be much slower in refreshing webpages due to all the new GUI changes. This is noticeable when opening review (where you see the new dancing panda) and when you have a big review with a number of comments.
2) I can't see if the other reviewers are making progress on the review anymore. There used to be a column for each person in the review to show if each person on the review was finished (hit Accept) with each file. This is a big dissatisfier.
3) The new "chat-style" window on the side of each file diff screen is too complex now. It uses too much screen real estate. The fonts are too large.
4) The yellow chat icons on the a review's main screen are not as obvious as they previously were. They do not do as good of a job stand out to someone that there is an unread comment.
5) The Defect Log at the top of a review uses the "Label" from a created defect but shows this under the "Text" column. This is not very intuitive now that you aren't supposed to use the same chat text box when describing the issue for a defect. Now you use the 1-line "Label" box.
6) I don't want to group the Participants in a review. Please allow me to save the 'Group By None' as a preference.
