  1. Application will close if you press escape while it's out of focus. This is annoying if you do some back and forth between semantic merge and another application while doing you diff.

  2. Just a simple (crazy?) idea. This would be very nice to have when the number of labels in a repo grows large. A hierarchical Labels view would be consistent with the rest of the Plastic UI.

    • Implement "soft" namespacing for labels (i.e "Namespaced Labels/Label 1"), similar to the one for branches.

    • Then add buttons "List view" and "Tree view" to the Labels view, just like the Branches view.

    Technical:
    No change is needed to how label names are stored, but the forward-slash character needs to be allowed in a Label name (it isn't currently, which is great since it means…

  3. When you're working in distributed mode with a local development server and want to join a project, you have a lot of work ahead with PlasticSCM.

    1. Open PlasticSCM, go to repositories view.
    2. Type in the name of your local plastic server.
    3. Create a new empty repository.
    4. Right-Click and create a workspace from that repository.
    5. Open that workspace.
    6. Go to sync replication view.
    7. Add your local repo as source repository.
    8. Add the repository which holds the project you want to join (clone to your local server) as destination repository.
    9. Click refresh.
    10. Pull the changes.
    11. Open your local workspace.
    12. Click update workspace.

  4. When selecting two changesets on two different branches and choosing "Diff selected changesets", the resulting Changeset Diff view can contain identical files (files that do not differ at all between the two changesets). This could happen if the same change has been applied to a file on both branches, without a merge.

    In this case I suggest that the identical files be hidden from the Diff view. The whole point of a Diff is to see the files that differ, not the ones that don't.

    (NOTE: In my case, I had loads of identical files due to an import from…

  6. This suggestion is a simple and minimal solution to a feature that is missing in Plastic and that we used a lot in TortoiseSVN - the ability to filter a Changeset Diff to the subtree-path that we're viewing the History of.

    I have earlier suggested more elaborate changes to support this feature, but the simplest possible fix for this is as follows:

    When opening a Changeset Diff from a (2D) History view of a directory (subtree), automatically populate the "Filter:" box (for the Changeset Diff) with the workspace path of the directory that the History view is working against. (This…

  7. I'm actually not too sure how this works but it seems like there's an opportunity to provide in-context change history info via CodeLens. I see it with Git changes and it works pretty cool - see attached screenshots.

  8. When undoing pending changes on a very large (binary) file or a large number of files, the operation can take a considerable amount of time, especially if connecting directly to the repo server over Internet.

    It seems the original file contents are re-downloaded, but that is not directly obvious so a progress indicator (just as for update/switch) would be helpful here. Otherwise one may think that the process has stopped working...

  9. I want it to be possible to color branches that have change sets that have not been pushed to some other server via sync replication.

    To be specific and explain the background:
    I use jenkins to do some builds of my project when the main branch has been pushed to a central repository.
    it has happened to me several times that I checked in code (locally) and executed the jenkins project just to discover that it ran old code because my main was not replicated to the main server.

    I would be happy if my main branch would show with…

  12. In the Items view, for a single file we have the (customizable) submenu "Open".

    In the History list for a single file, we have the "Save this revision as..." command along with "Open" and "Open with...".

    For consistency and ease-of-use, the "Open" submenu should be available in the 2D History view for a single file as well. Also, the "Save this revision as..." command should be added to this "Open" submenu.

    This is much related to another uservoice that requests adding the "Save this revision as..." command to the "Open" submenu in the Items view as well:

  13. Right now I have no way to define custom rules for only one repository.
    Also it is not possible to identify the repository within the rules condition.

    Workaround: add a attribute to each branch containing the repository name. (Very very nasty)

    It would be nice to:
    1) have a repostoryName variable within conditions
    2) have custom rules for only one repository

  14. A feature to enable the user to edit/re-merge a pending merge is something that would improve flexibility and greatly assist new users to the system.

    If you accidentally do something wrong in the merge, or change your mind and want to do something differently, it would be great to "redo" either file or the entire merge, and let you change e.g. from workspace to source contributor, or go over a merge of some code without having to undo. Now, after you've done a merge you reach a point of no return.

  15. When starting the Plastic GUI (on Windows), the tab for the active workspace tab is selected. Below that is a "selector bar" indicating what's currently loaded (switched to) in this workspace.

    If the workspace is switched to a Branch/Label, there is no immediate way to find out which changeset number is actually loaded right now.

    Example: When switched to a branch, if the workspace has not been Updated recently we may not be at the latest changeset on that branch.

    I propose displaying the actually loaded changeset number in this "selector bar", to have this crucial information readily available regardless…

  16. When viewing changeset history I tend to think about changesets in terms like "that is the checkin where I merged/rebased from /other_branch". That kind of context is sometimes lost in the Plastic views:

    • In 2D History if a merge is unrelated to the selected item then the merge arrow is not displayed.

    • In Branch Explorer if the /other_branch is hidden by filter, the merge arrow is not displayed.

    Not displaying the merge arrow in these cases is logical since the /other_branch is unrelated or hidden. However, I'd find it helpful to have some kind of (optional) visual indicator that an…

  17. This is a new idea inspired by another uservoice that was declined:
    https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/10300338-remember-last-entered-path-for-workspace

    However, the solution suggested here supports all three of the conflicting scenarios given by Codice staff when declining the earlier uservoice: a proposed initial default path (set on first install), a configurable root path (now set from GUI) and a way to remember the last entered path (but only on demand).

    There is a setting DefaultWorkspaceRoot in file guiclient.conf, but there is no way to set that from the GUI. I propose adding a link/button "Set as default path for new workspaces" or similar in the New…

  18. I would like the "Home" changeset to always be shown (when at all possible) in all the branch-explorer/2D-revtree views. This would make it easier to relate the view to the current workspace contents.

    In all those views, I'd like the Home changeset to be displayed regardless of date filter (possibly with a dotted parent-changeset arrow to connect it with the nearest date-filter-included changeset).

    In the 2D revtree I simply want an extra U = Unchanged changeset (on the relevant branch) with the Home icon above it, in the cases where the home changeset/branch would not otherwise be included.

    NOTE: Exclusion…

  19. I'd like an alternative to date filters, so that views will not be empty by default if I look at a branch or a repo that has been is inactive for more than 3 months. I'd rather have a setting "Show 100(+/-) changesets". Sometimes you want to look at a certain time period, but I think more commonly you just want to limit the sheer amount of data being displayed?

    This might need an addition to the "cm find" query language, to specify "the N latest changesets" etc, similar to SQL "SELECT TOP(N) ... ORDER BY ..."?

    Also, an empty…

  20. As mentioned in the following links, the changeset / branch Diff view from the Plastic GUI can be automatically opened to show a specified changeset or branch. This can be done either via command line / script or (on Windows) by a URL containing a special "Plastic://" protocol:

    http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/3061-updated-plastic-urls-to-launch-diff-windows/

    http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2012/11/plastic-scm-4110372-release-is-out.html

    This is very handy for automation etc. However, I'd like to see more views available via command line and URL args - Branch Explorer, 2D History, Items, Annotate etc...
