rosmaitaa new contributor just pointed out that when you leave a top-level gerrit comment (i.e., the comment when you hit the "reply" button and can vote), the comment defaults to "Resolved" ... whereas the inline comments default to not having Resolved checked14:56
rosmaitaas a result, he has been ignoring the top level comments because they're already resolved, whereas they often say things like "good start on the code, but you need to include unit tests"14:56
rosmaitais there a way to change this so that the top level comment does not default to Resolved?14:56
rosmaitaor is there a good reason why we would not want to do this?14:56
fungii'm not sure. i mostly use gertty which even sets inline comments to resolved since that's more how prior versions of gerrit worked before they introduced the "turns" concept15:05
clarkbI don't think we acn change it without patching gerrit15:48
clarkbI think the idea is inline comments are almost always something you need to change whereas its more ambigious for top level stuff so people should be explicit there?15:48
clarkbif it were configurable I would expect that to be in your user preferences but I don't see it there15:49
clarkbthough I did just discover there is a preference for automatically adding your signed off by to commits that get edited in the online editor15:49
clarkbgouthamr: ^ fyi since there were questions about that in the past15:50
gouthamroh that’d be neat15:54
clarkbthat is a per user opt in but could be useful if individuals are regularly using the web ui to edit changes16:00
rosmaitafungi: clarkb: thanks for the info (i was in meetings and then got into other stuff and only just now remembered to look here)23:35
JayFoooh I would <3 the auto DCO when using the web editor23:39
fungiJayF: good news! it's just a checkbox away in your user prefs23:40
tonyboh really!    I didn't know that either. 23:41
