Search in Branch Explorer should include Branch Comments
The filter box in the Branches view gets hits on words in the branch comments, but the Search box in Branch Explorer does not.

Add "Open" and "Save this revision as" in 2D (File) History as well
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:

conditional format/in-/exclusion rules based on repository
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 repository9 votes -
Enable re-merging
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.

Show current changeset in "selector bar" (below workspace tab)
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…

Add "unrelated merge" indicator in 2D history and filtered branch explorer
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…

Add button "Set as default workspace path" in New Workspace dialog
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-workspaceHowever, 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…

Show Home changeset whenever possible
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…

Add option to filter latest N changesets instead of date filter, to avoid empty views
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…

Make more views openable by command line flags and Plastic:// URLs
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...

Allow an overall comment to be entered against a code review
Sometimes when looking at a code review making comments against individual lines is not appropriate. The implementer might have got the design/architecture or pattern wrong. It would help to be able to record a comment at a top level against the review to allow an audit trail without having to go through all the line by line comments. For example. Design and implementation ok, no security has been considered and there are weaknesses so needs rework. Minor code comments as recorded, but review abandoned due to high level issues.

Make "Add to source control" available for ignored items
When right-clicking a Private Ignored item, the "Add to source control" action is shown but disabled (grayed out). That's frustrating as there is no real reason to disallow this!
Scenario: You have ignored all *.dll files, since you build them. However, there is a specific 3rdparty DLL that you would like to make Controlled (put under source control). To do this, you would now have to edit ignored.conf, "Add the file to source control", then undo your changes in ignored.conf. If the above command was not disabled for ignored items it would have been one click in the context menu,…

Add "Diff selected items" to shell extension as well
In 5.4.16.694 a new option was added to diff two selected items in the 'Items 'view. This option should be available in the Windows shell extension as well.
The following related uservoice should apply here too:

Items view: allow Diff of Private files as well
In 5.4.16.694 a new option was added to diff two selected items in the 'Items 'view. This currently only works for two Controlled files or two Controlled folders.
It would be great to have this work for two Private files (or one Controlled and one Private file) as well. You would have to do some detection of txt/bin filetype on the Private files.

Display more information in the Repositories view
In the Repositories view, very little information is displayed about the repositories listed: Name, namespace/hierarchy, server. That's all.
When I list my repositories I want to see something similar to the Branches view: Owner, Creation date, Comment
(The Comment field was requested in another uservoice: https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/8063376-repository-description)
But most importantly, I'd like to see number of branches, number of labels, number of changesets! This info could be displayed in an "extended information" sidebar, also just like in the Branches view.

Possibility to undo checkout without loosing file content changes
Let the user undo a checkout without loosing the modifications themselves. The result would be a file with status "Changed".
Neither the content nor the file's timestamp should change by this operation.
Currently, undoing a checkout always results in downloading the versioned content.13 votes -
MergeTo operation shall support --mergetype and -c/-commentsfile
It looks that currently MergeTo operation is ignoring --mergetype parameter. If only automatic merge of changes from both source and destination is possible Plastic is doing it.
It would be good to have a chance to explicitly show that changes only on one side are allowed and exit with failure if there are some also at the other.
Additionaly for now it is not possible to give comment which will be used for check-in operation after successful mergeTo.
6 votesOn the release 7.0.16.2077, we added the new server-side merge that extends the existing merge-to functionality.
Using the server-side merge, the file conflicts can be resolved and the merge resolution options (—mergetype, —keepsource & —keepdestination) are supported.
The server-side merge is still on preview so you need to enable it adding the following setting on the client.conf. Check how to do it on the release notes: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/releasenotes/7.0.16.2077
Remarks, the server and client version must be equal or newer than 7.0.16.2077 to use the server-side merge.
We comment option will be documented soon, we already plan a task to do it in the next few weeks. Sorry for the delay.
Best regards

Make Diff listen to file-change-notifications and ask to reload
The Diff view/window in Plastic does not listen to filesystem notifications about file-changes when diffing a file in a workspace.
It should discover external changes to the workspace file and ask to reload/recalculate the diff when needed. Other Diff tools I have tried do this...

Bug: Revision type change is stored on server but not updated on clients
User A changes revision type of an item from binary to text. User B runs update and refresh of items list, but item remains binary. Pressing CTRL+D shows a dialog that quotes "Error: Differences between items of diffente types cannot be calculated". That implies that the change of User A was sent to the server and applied to the item, but the information is not propagated to the other users.
