1. Active Directory - Work with huge AD trees

   I came across a blog post about this limitation. If you are using ADO/ADO.net, you should be able to set the Page Size property to 999 - which will in fact return ALL users instead of being limited to 1000 (if you set it at 1000 or above, you will get exactly that many and no more, setting it to less really means "I want them all, but only x at a time")

   Obj.Properties.Item['Page Size'].Value := 950
   where Obj is an ADO Command object (not sure what the .NET equivalent is)

2. filetypes.conf has immediate effect and can be per repository

   As a developer, I can specify what is the type (text/binary) of file with a given extension. But, I want PlasticSCM to immediately apply these settings to the current workspace (only new files are affected). Also, it would be convenient that a filetypes.conf placed in the root dir of repository to have the same effect for this specific repo, on the top of global settings (as for ignore.conf).

3. workflow rules

   As each branch should have a defined role and may or may not interact with other branches plastic scm needs a workflow management system (I'm inspired by Jira) which allows definitions of branch roles and let's call it "change/information flow" rules.

   This would provide a way to define which branch can be merged into another branch and which can't!

   Each branch then needs a role assigned at creation time. Even here the workflow rules could define which roles may be given to a branch created from another branch wich a given role.

5. Combine the xlink and fast-import features for fast public SDK imports

   For those relying on external projects or SDKs, an ability to simply point to a public git/svn/etc repository would be great if you simply had to specify a label/release. That way, external dependencies can be handled by the xlink feature.

6. OpenID, FaceBook Connect, Google etc...

   So DVCS is great but given I write code in lots of places. I would like to be able to use a single id and sync across various servers.

   I use my work domain account at 1 place
   customers domain account,
   Work at home discconected from any LDAP or AD server.

   I don't want to manage the users either. So it would be great if people could just login with their facebook, google, or other OpenID and I could sync using those. just like this site allows facebook or Google. Why not plastic also.

8. Remote Repository Creation in Sync View

   Small new request, it would be nice if the Syn Replication view had the option to remotely create workspaces. I now have to use the commandline and retype a fairly long machine name (full AD one) to create a workspace at a remote machine.

   So it would be nice (and easier with less chance on typing erres) if the Dialog for Add replication repository had the option to just select a server and add by typing just the repository name (or maybe even better have it already filled in with the local one, assuming names will probably match in a lot of cases).

9. Save and view Compares

   It would be great if I could save a compairing to a file and view it later again.

   Use case: I compaire to branches with a lot of changes. I will need some time to do this and want to do it later.

   Or: I want to show a compair/diff to somebody.

11. Better issue tracker API

    Here are a few ideas for an improved issue tracker API. These suggestions were first posted in the forum 05 December 2011.

    Create branch from ticket
    I was surprised that I could not create a branch from a list of tickets. Instead I have to use a branch name convension to link my branch to a ticket. It should be trivial to extend the extension API with a "load tickets" method and present the list of tickets when creating a branch. How to select the tickets to be shown could be a matter of extension configuration. This could be made even better if the API could make the extension provide a list of filters to choose from.

    It is not that it is a big issue to use the branch naming convension, but it would allow a more smooth workflow if the list of tickets was integrated with branch creation.

    Two way state synchronization
    I was also surprised that the extension seems to be a one way system with no support for adding states or comments to the ticketing system.
    I had expected to find a "hook" to branch switching or creation. That way it would have been possible to change ticket state from say "new" to "open".
    If the ticket properties, especially state, were synchronized with Plastic attributes, it would provide a very convenient way of filtering branches when integrating completed tasks for a build.
    If there was a "hook" for changeset comments, changeset comments could also be added to the ticket comments. This would provide possibilities for a detailed change log.
    Two way states and events on commits, branch switches, etc. is what I miss the most.

    Caching
    I would benefit performance if every branch explorer refresh didn't caused a complete loading of all issue tracker tasks in view. You might expect the branch explorer to attempt a refresh if you hit the refresh button, but it the refresh fails, for example if you are offline or the ticket server for some reason is not available, then all your ticket titles disappear. This is a problem if you have adopted a ticket id branch naming scheme. It would be better, if Plastic cached tickets and only replaced titles if a new was actually loaded. Also, why is the extension asked to load a ticket both by the branch explorer and when clicking on a branch?
    I do however realize that the extension could do such caching by itself, but it would be easier to develop extensions if such behavior was implemented in the calling system.

    Repository mapping
    I found the repository to ticket system project mapping a little clumpsy in the API. E.g. when refreshing the branch explorer, the extension is asked to load tickets for all visible branches, but with the empty string as repository name. Only when clicking on a branch, the repository name is provided. There is probably an explanation, but it made it hard to map repositories with projects in the ticketing system. This is a problem for ticketing systems like YouTrack, where the project name (in short form) is part of the ticket ID and IDs within projects are sequential (i.e. non-unique globally).

    Auto comments
    In Plastic preferences you can setup auto-comments. You can choose between user name and date. This is almost entirely useless since that information is already baked easily available.
    When using build servers like TeamCity, you get some nice links to your ticketing system if you refer to ticket id's in the comments. A typical workflow is making a solving a bunch of tickets and then integrating the branches in a build branch that the build server will use to generate a new build. In the process of integrating branches, it would be helpful if the comments automatically the ticket ids, since this would make a full circle between the VCS, Build server and ticketing system. Manully entering these comments is tidious and error prone, since it is often only a matter of repeating branch names and ticket titles.
    It would be nice if the "custom" auto-comment formatter was extended more tags. Most obvious are branch name, ticket title, ticket id, ticket description.

12. update the custom extension information in the options pane when a changeset is selected.

    When different branches are selected, the custom extension task information is updated in the options pane. However, when changesets are selected, the pane doesn't update. It just leaves whatever information had been in there. Even if the changeset is on a different pane.

13. Group workspaces (and repositories)

    I would like to see a way to group workspaces (and repositories) in order to make the list more readable.

    As i use the model one workspace for a project or component, i got to many for a readable list.

    Tagging them with a keyword and show them as a tree would make it easier to find workspaces.

14. add a cherry pick without link option / or allow delete of cherry pick links

    It happens from time to time that you think you are working on some branch when actually you are on another.

    What I usually do in such a scenario is:
    1. check in on wrong branch.
    2. switch to correct branch.
    3. cherry pick from wrong to correct branch.
    4. copy the merged file(s)
    5. delete new change set created on correct branch created by cherrypick.
    6. copy the files back to the workspace (or just paste from clipboard if it was a single file).
    7. check in the changes (now properly set in the correct branch).
    8. delete the unwanted changeset that was created on the wrong branch.

    If I could do the chery pick without leaving a link or if I could delete the link after performing the cherry-pick I could then just delete the miss-placed changeset and that's it.
    Currently this is not possible because the existence of this link prevents me from deleting the changeset that was miss-placed in the wrong branch.

15. diff and merge configuration panel help allows selection out of variables

    Right now the preferences for diff and merge for external tools has a help modal dialog that is difficult to work with. Building the command line is repetition of modify and click on the help to make sure things are being typed correctly.

    Suggest that instead it's a drop down dialog that populates the variable into the edit box as selected.

20. Add an option to the server to check database consistency

    I would like to see an option that scans the database for corruption or inconsitencies. Now i have to rely on the gui to crash or bahave strange to see that there is something wrong.

    A periodically scheduled job, a short report and a big green light that everything is OK would be good for my trust in the plasticscm.
