Roadmap view doesn't cache "Show completed milestones"

[anonymous]

When enabling "Show completed milestones" it isn't cached, so when calling Roadmap page again it isn't enabled. Same for "Hide milestones with no due date".

I think this is intentional, as you are more likely to want to see the non-completed milestones, and only rarely the completed milestones. Especially considering that the milestones are sorted by ascending date. If we memorize the milestone display settings, we should at least have a setting allowing to sort by descending date.

Well it is a bit confusing, since in timeline-view trac memorizes the configurations in table session_attribute (that's why I filed this ticket as a defect rather than an enhencement).

For ordering in descending order, I wrote a little plugin, see ​th:RoadmapPlugin

Perhaps it should be configurable for the user in that case?

There's also such a thing as too much choice. No, either we save the settings, in which case an additional setting for descending sort should probably be added, or we don't, and the current behavior is fine. But adding a setting that specifies if settings should be saved sounds too "meta" to me.

Agree with remy, but since trac saves data of some of the filtering boxes and some not, it is not consistent for users.

Maybe this could be done in the context of ticket #7342.
