Migration tool shouldn't need old files to be present about groupscatalog2 HOT 4 CLOSED

Good point, thanks for the input.
My objective was to make the migration as fool proof as possible. The only way to check for each of the different states was to also use files.
Maybe there could be an "Enable advanced mode" checkbox which allows the admin to freely select the step to execute?

That could work, something like this perhaps?

That's a quick mockup only - completely non-functional!
The idea being that each row independently checks all of it's preconditions, so you no longer have to sequentially track through it. Rows would never disappear, they would just enable/disable the button and change the status colour/message.
When all steps are complete no buttons will be enabled and everything will be green.

I can't help but feel it could all be done with one UI though, or even just as part of the module setup script - it's so close already ;-)

Hi again. I just came to the conclusion that since my time is so limited, I'll won't be able to implement this. If you feel like stepping up and completing it I'd be happy to pull a patch.
The reason is the migration tool will be used less and less anyway, the longer the extension exists. I'd rather use the time to fix other issues or improve general features.

Fair enough! I'll send a patch if it's something I use again as well.
