  1. I'm not sure how macplastic made it out with a majorly missing feature: code reviews. I'd love if this got some priority.

  2. 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…

  3. 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.

  4. 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...

  5. 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…

  8. 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:

  9. 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

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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…

  15. 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…

  16. 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...

  17. 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.

  18. 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,…

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
