  1. The new "multi-screen diff" in Plastic 6.0 is excellent. It was introduced in 6.0.16.884; if you have the Plastic SCM main window open on part of your screen, and open one diff window on another part of your screen, then the diff window's contents will change when you move around in the Branch Explorer.

    (Slightly related uservoice: https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/15615156-show-diffs-in-branch-explorer-and-changesets-views )

    However, this has a few flaws related to cases where you don't want the "Diff changeset" window to change. To stop the Diff from updating when you click a changeset, you need more than one Diff window open. This is OK…

  2. You can currently drag and drop files from your pending changes into a folder which is really handy when you've really stuffed up and can't shelve your changes (like deleting a changeset that you have currently selected).

    But it also be nice to drag and drop files into the workspace so I can utilise the awesome search feature and replace the files I just stuffed up in the above example.

  3. It would be nice to improve the image diff tool so that small differences in pixels can be ignored with a threshold values. For example for JPEG images that just have a small difference in compression artifacts.

    Maybe something like this could be implemented?https://github.com/mapbox/pixelmatch

  4. We need to be able to do a diff on a repository on a server (without workspaces) and then get the OLD version of a file through any xlink.

    cm diff OLD NEW

    You don’t get the path on the remote repository from a diff on current repository.

    If I do a cm diff in the first repository, There is NO path information through the xlink. And ALL the information is related to the NEW changeset.

    So you can not do a simple diff using the FIRST repository’s information:

    $ cm ls '/one/two/My link with spaces/bird/file1.txt' --tree='24@0000000099TESTREPO

  5. When the expansion rule has already been created and the dialog has already been shown, or when the Xlink is read-only, this dialog becomes an unnecessary nuisance.

  6. It would be nice if plastic had a web-service which provides graphical HTML5 reports / views for interagtion in thrid-party applications (primarily issue trackers)

    I think of the following:
    - Some branch-explorer like view focusing on one branch (task-branch) which displays the check-ins and merges to and from this branch
    - A list of check-ins to a specific branch (like the history view?)
    - A view showing all changed files in a branch in total
    - you name it. there could be way more!

    This service should have a REST-full URL API where the view and branch path are defined…

  7. Pending changes view DELETE menu, add option to "remove files from version control"

    IN Workspace explorer/files, Delete has two options, "delete files on disk" and "remove file(s) from version control".
    In Pending changes view, Delete will only delete on disk. However this is IMHO the more likely place you would discover files that are controlled but should be excluded!

    This thread should explain: http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/1991-how-do-i-ignoreexclude-directories-that-have-already-been-checked-in/

    Windows GUI and gtkplastic 5.4.16.918

    [ I can't fully test exact behaviour right now because my server is offline at this moment installing updates. Lots of updates... ]

  8. When server maintenance is due, it would be great to know if any client is still connected to the server.
    You may add a new cm-command for that or you implement a shiny info screen on the server.

  9. Hi,

    there is this user voice item:
    https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/4230341-add-ignored-files
    which is about adding ignored files. We have the exact same situation from time to time.
    The way to unignore the files leads to a crowded ignore list with lots of !xyz.dll entries. Although one could remove that entry once the item is versioned this is often forgotten and the ignore list is updated with the unignored item.
    Another drawback is that people simply don't understand why they cannot add certain items. Especially when using the explorer context menu for adding items or folder structures there is no action at all. It…

  10. The Atomic nature of Plastic is really frustrating for Artists and general users who just want to share files.

    To work around this restriction can you add an option that will "touch" selected files and then they can be submitted to a single changelist in your branch and then pushed, pulled easily to/from other branches.

  11. The "Cherry pick from changeset interval" is a bit confusing to me.

    For example:
    I want to cherry pick from changesets cs10 to cs15.
    So, I intuitively select cs10 and cs15 and do a cherry pick interval merge. But then, I notice, that there is no cs10 involved. The merge begins at cs11 and not cs10.
    So, when I want cs10 included, I have to select cs9. But that is very unintuitive to me.

    It get's even worse, when I click on the merge arrow afterwards and it shows me "Changeset interval (9 - 15)".
    That's wrong, because there is…

  12. In Branch Explorer, the alternating date-background color can be changed via a variable in a .conf file, but none of the other color schemes.

    There is also the Themes feature in Preferences, but those seem to leave the Branch Explorer unaltered (even leaving it light for the dark themes)!

    What we do have is the ability to color branches by attribute (conditional format) and to color changesets by user/replication-source. (But sadly, the color by replication source feature is currently broken.)

    My request is to expose all the border, fill, background, selection and font colors to the user, either via .conf…

  13. With v1.11.0 they've just publicly released the SCM API (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/api-scm), so it'd be greate to have Plastic integrated in this wonderful editor.

  14. This is a very useful feature for diffs with long lines.

    Now that we have matching inside a line, this would be a natural follow up. With this, there would no longer be any need for horizontal scrollbars in diff view.

  15. The tree view in Pending Changes gives a much better overview/visual structure to the things that were modified. However, per default everything is always collapsed. So for each new change one needs to click-open every single hierarchy level by hand, to reach the assets that were actually changed...

    All other tree views (Items, Branches, ...) are affected similarly, and would greatly benefit from such a hotkey.

    I suggest to use Alt-click, as for example, Unity uses that same method to selectively and recursively collapse/open subtrees.

  17. Only files that are checked out can be moved to a changelist. The Checkout-Edit-Checkin workflow isn't required, so this shouldn't be the case.

  18. I like to have my branches ordered bottom-up as they are closest to release. So my issue branches are below the trunk which is below release candidates and hotfix branches.

    I do this manually right now. So I have two lines für release/hotfix branches then the trunk and then everything else.
    This is fine as long as there are only 2 branches in the upper two lines. But sometimes there are more (especially when 'older' branches are updated with new data. Then they overlap.

    My suggestion:
    Add a weight property to branches (maybe via conditional rules) and order the branches…

  19. We are a large corporation with an LDAP (Active Directory) with 10's of 1000's of entries in the LDAP/AD server.
    Today, I think one of the biggest performance issues with Plastic SCM is the VERY large number of requests to LDAP to lookup SID to be able to display uid. Finding a way to speed up this operation would, I believe, be a boost to performance in many operations in Plastic SCM (especially the GUI?). Item view, changeset properties, and annotate history would improve just to name a few.
    I first thought of this problem when asking myself why the…

  20. This would enable all the popular interoperability that other development operation tooling makes available... also opens up the possibility for the community to contribute Zapier Zaps and IFTTT recipes.
