1. Better handling of dark theme in Linux

   Using a dark theme with the linux build ends up with some pretty glaring white backdrops to things and lots of unreadable text.

   It seems Plastic isn't using the supplied gtk theme colours, but instead has hardcoded colours for certain things.

2. Implement cloud-based backups for Plastic Cloud

   I propose that Plastic Cloud offers an incremental backup method. It should export backup data to customer-provided cloud storage (AWS S3 / Google Cloud Storage / Azure Storage), perform backups with high frequency (possibly with a combination of full / incremental backups), and only leave the responsibility of validating these backups with the customer.

   Our use case:

   We use Plastic Cloud instead of Plastic Server, because it reduces our operational overhead. Plastic Cloud is great in many ways, but using it means that we also entrust the responsibility of availability, security, as well as backups/disaster recovery with Codice Software.

   As our organization grows larger and older, we need to have shared responsibility for backups/disaster recovery. If we ask ourselves, "do we have backups?" then we must be able to answer "yes, and we have verified that they are not corrupt", not "yes, we trust that another organization does it for us".

   It is possible to handle backups today: run a local Plastic Server, scan the Plastic Cloud organization, replicate what's in there to local repositories, then archive the local repositories. However, that requires a fair bit of operational work.

   I would like to see that Plastic Cloud offered an 'automated backups' feature: I provide details on a customer-controlled cloud storage bucket in a cloud provider like AWS/GCE/Azure, and credentials that allow Plastic Cloud write-only rights to the bucket (without the rights to modify what's already in the bucket). Plastic Cloud would then regularly export changes to the bucket. For example, a full export once per month + an incremental export once per day. I would like notifications to be sent to me (for example via emails) whenever there is a problem with export process, as well as summaries of this somewhere (for example within the weekly digest emails that are sent out).

   I would like validation to be left with the customer (although someone will probably ask for some degree of automation here as well). As such, I expect that I can restore a backup - or perhaps part of a backup, like, only a single repo - into a local Plastic Server and then be able to access the contents directly.

   The automated "export to cloud storage bucket" process will allow us to easily implement any process we would like for further backups (for example, manually copy backups from cloud bucket to offline storage).

   It would be helpful to be able to be able to get some idea of the contents of a backup without needing to perform a full restore. (Example: which repos are inside the backup? what is the range of changesets contained within the backup?) This could either be a tool that inspects the backup files itself, or additional text file(s) that are written at the time when the backups are created.

   One nice side effect of a backup mechanism like this is that it provides us with the ability to recover from some of our mistakes, that would otherwise require contacting Codice support.

   The feature requires additional backend-side processing and network transfer. We are happy to pay extra for this.

   (Slightly related, there is a cloud-to-cloud backup service for GitHub: https://backhub.co/ - this has a much broader featureset than suggested above, but it demonstrates the core need.)

   I propose that Plastic Cloud offers an incremental backup method. It should export backup data to customer-provided cloud storage (AWS S3 / Google Cloud Storage / Azure Storage), perform backups with high frequency (possibly with a combination of full / incremental backups), and only leave the responsibility of validating these backups with the customer.

4. Branch Explorer - Adjust text size of "branch bubble" in settings

   In branch explorer I zoomed a bit of, to have a greater overview. Unfortunately, the text bubbles above each branch getting smaller. So it's quite hard to read it then.

   Could it be possible to adjust the size in the side panel > Display options?

5. Don't create empty commits in xlink upon merge-to

   If I complete these steps:
   1. Create repos B and A
   2. Commit file foo to repo B (this becomes cs1)
   3. Create xlink /b in repo A as -> cs1@/main@B (writable)
   4. Create branch /main/task001@A
   5. Checkin several files without touching /b

   I can then complete my task branch like this:
   6. Switch workspace to /main@A
   7. Merge from /main/task001

   After this, B will still have only one branch and one changeset, because no changes were made inside of /b. Wonderful!

   Alternately, I can complete my task branch like this:
   6. Merge-To from /main/task001 into /main@A

   This is a better process. It has fewer steps. In fact, it is recommended by the Plastic Book. Unfortunately, while it should behave exactly the same, there's a small difference: This process has just created a new changeset #2 on repo B that is a merge from cs1 and contains nothing.

   This empty commit is dangerous, because Plastic doesn't support making empty changesets and therefore doesn't account for them in many of its behaviors. Just today, I had done the following:

   1. merge-to from /main/task123 to /main (xlink gets cs:N+1)
   2. merge from /main to /internal (this didn't change the xlink, it still points to cs:N, which is probably a bug)
   3. Modify contents of xlink
   4. Attempt to commit

   The result is that Plastic sees we are on cs:N but cs:N+1 exists, so it stops the commit and demands that N+1 is merged into N first. However, because N+1 contains no changes, the merge cannot take place. The checkin is impossible until I shelve the changes, change the xlink to point to N+1, reapply the changes, and try to commit again.

   It is also a problem that if you merge-to /main into /task003, for example, you will also get an empty changeset on a newly created /task003@B, which clutters the B repo. That's particularly bad if B is sync'd to a public Git repo.

   If I complete these steps:
   1. Create repos B and A
   2. Commit file foo to repo B (this becomes cs1)
   3. Create xlink /b in repo A as -> cs1@/main@B (writable)
   4. Create branch /main/task001@A
   5. Checkin several files without touching /b

   I can then complete my task branch like this:
   6. Switch workspace to /main@A
   7. Merge from /main/task001

   After this, B will still have only one branch and one changeset, because no changes were made inside of /b. Wonderful!

   Alternately, I can complete my task branch like this:
   6. Merge-To from /main/task001 into /main@A

6. Add "Merge Query Rule" to conditional format

   In the Plastic GUI, "Add format" provides the following options:

   • Branches with pending merges
   • Active branch in this workspace
   • Custom branch query rule
   • Custom changeset query rule
   • Custom label query rule

   cm find, however, supports additional objects beyond "branch", "changeset", and "query". I would like to highlight changesets that contain merge-links from a specific branch, but currently the only way for me to do that is to run the query in the command-line, use the query results to apply attributes, and then use the attributes for a rule that colors the changeset. It would be more straightforward if I could just use in the GUI all of the same queries that can be used from cm (or, at least, merge queries).

7. Support Multiple Search Terms in Workspace Explorer

   Searching in Visual Studio allows me to set multiple search terms separated by a space in order to better narrow my results. This is helpful if you aren't sure if the name of the file is "ProjectXMLData" or "ProjectDataXML", but you know for sure it has Project and XML in the name.

   Attached Images
   - VSSearch01 - Shows searching for all 'project'
   - VSSearch02 - Shows adding 'xml', but not as an exact match. The results are still displayed as expected
   - WSSearch01 - Shows searching for 'project' and results show as expected
   - WSSearch02 - Shows adding 'xml', but no results are returned

8. Go ahead and implement traveling locks

   This would save us a TON of pain working in game dev. Not only make the locks across all branches where the locked files exist, but also setup plastic so you can do multiple commits while keeping the lock.

9. Integrate git sync into sync view

   I would like to be able to mirror a client's Git repository, create a new branch, and then pull changes from the Git repository without pushing my unfinished/proprietary/scratch/experimental branch.

   I have also, from time to time, found myself wanting to clone just a single branch from Git, exclude some branches from Git, or pull everything without pushing anything. All of this is possible in Plastic sync view with Plastic repos, so I thought it would be better to suggest integrating the two instead of suggesting to add these features independently to git-sync.

11. Embedded Custom Diff

    When it comes to text files, the embedded diff viewer is extremely helpful, allowing me to quickly click between files and see what changed. While it is possible to specify external tools for diffing non-text files, it is currently not possible to do so with the same ease of use or convenience. Embedded Diff and Custom Diff are currently mutually exclusive.

    This request is to add an extensibility mechanism for the embedded diff viewer. I am thinking of this similarly to Windows' IFilter mechanism that allows custom preview renderers to be specified for any file type.

    For example, if I wanted to diff a custom binary serialization that my company uses, I could write a program that converts it to text. Perhaps the program outputs the text to std-out, perhaps to a temp file - either way, Plastic would take that output and feed it into the standard text diffing feature. Similarly, it would make sense to provide the same functionality for images. In order to see diffs for 3MF files, I would specify a program that converts 3MF to BMP.

12. Allow "Move Changeset" to move to regular branches

    Currently, with "Move Changeset" I can only move to a new branch or an empty one.

    But often I find myself quickly fixing a small bug or tweak a value, and switching to a different branch is something I don't think about at that moment. But the changeset does not belong on the branch that I committed it to.

    It would save an incredible amount of time if "Move Changeset" would do the following, when selecting a non empty branch:
    - Cherry Pick the full changeset from the target branch, including the comment
    - Delete the changeset in question

    Now I understand that deleting a changeset anywhere on a branch creates a sort of "Tower of Hanoi" challenge, of having to shelve all the commits on top of it, delete the changeset in question, and stack them back on. For now it would already be useful if I could do this with the latest changeset (no further dependencies).
    But being able to delete changesets with dependencies (instead of messy reverse commits) would be very useful in it's own right.

13. One button switch to changeset

    I often find myself needing to restore workspaces to the exact state of some changeset. I don't care about the branch or changeset I'm currently on. I don't care about pending changes, added files, deleted files, private files. All I want is for my workspace to be 100% identical to the changeset I'm switching to. Right now, both in the GUI and CLI, doing so involves multiple potentially long running steps which may or may not require user interaction.
    Please give me the nuclear option to get my workspace into pristine state again!

15. FIle in use error

    It would be nice if Plastic threw an error/message saying "File already in use" when trying to merge a binary file with changes only in source contributor(for my specific case), when the file being merged is opened by another application. Right now it fails to merge the file, keeping it in the Pending Changes view, and never merging it or alerting the user that there is an issue.

20. Differentiate between Checked-out (Unchanged) and Checked-out (Changed) in Pending Changes 'Status' Column

    Currently it's difficult to tell if a file has been checked-out and modified or is just checked-out as a mark for modification in the pending changes view.

    It would be nice if I could, at a glance see the Checked-out (Unchanged) or Checked-out (Changed) instead of having to run 'Undo Changes -> Undo unchanged' before almost every checkin.

    Perhaps changing the file icon from an orange exclamation to green if it's Checked-out (Unchanged)
