[Cuis-dev] Addition of buttons to the Code File Browser class list menu

[Victor Gabriel Fierro]

Hello again!

I'm sorry to bother you one more time, but I realized some mistakes in the
changes I sent in the previous email. The problem is in the functionality
of opening the Change List Window from the Code File Browser. I realized
three problems in the earlier version:

   1. Responsibilities were assigned incorrectly. I made the Code File have
   the responsibility of opening the Change List Window, which makes no sense.
   2. It didn't take into account that the original file could be moved or
   removed.
   3. It didn't take into account that the original file could be modified.

When I realized these mistakes I started making a new version of the
functionality to replace the previous one, but I could only solve the first
and second problems (At least to some degree, more on that later). Firstly,
in the new version the Code File Browser Window has the responsibility to
open the Change List Window, which I think is better. Secondly, now the
function checks whether the file still exists before doing anything, and if
it doesn't then just throws a Pop Up that lets the user acknowledge the
situation.
The thing I couldn't do is solve the third problem, the new code ignores
completely whether the file has been modified or not. Also, although
technically the second problem is "solved", I don't find it satisfactory
that if you remove the file then you can't browse the changes anymore, even
though they are all there in the Code File browser! I just couldn't figure
out a way to convert the information held by the Code File into a Change
List (Actually I played around with the idea of storing the Change List
that is created in the initialization of Code File to scan the file. This
would solve the problems better but I don't really like the idea of storing
a whole Change List 'just in case' and also that solution comes with a
bunch of other problems, but I have an implementation of it if you are
interested).
Please let me know what you think of this new version, and share with me
any comments or suggestions.
Thank you very much!
