option to cancel workspace update
A workspace update can be quite slow, particularly if you made a mistake in cloaked.conf. Rather than killing the process, it would be nice to be able to cancel the update.

Add branch support to explorer plug-in
The explorer plug-in works very well for managing a workspace, however, there is no branch support.
1) No way to tell what branch the workspace currently has
2) No way to switch the workspace to a particular branch
3) No way to merge the current branch into another
4) No way to merge another branch into the current one
--there are other branch features available, but these are the ones my team uses the most.All of these thing currently require the GUI to perform, but could be done using the Explorer plug-in

Keep typed comment when closing checkin dialog without commit.
Sometimes i type comment for a checkin but then discover some issues in the list of files that force me to close the dialog (loosing the already typed comments).
The current woraround is to open notepad and copy the comment into it for later use. But that is rather clumsy.
So request is that when you close the commit dialog without commit the typed comment is added to the dropdown list of previous comments (or is just restored when the dialog is re-opened for the same workspace).

option to select diff tool on the command line
If you use a console based diff tool such as vimdiff it can cause the GUI problems. It would be nice to be able to set different difftool preferences for the GUI and 'cm diff', possibly with a command line option:
cm diff --tool=vimdiff
It might be necessary to give tools names or id's in the GUI preferences to reference from the command line so you can easily configure the arguments.

Improve integration with JIRA
Develop a JIRA plugin for Jira, to improve visibility.
Add options to create branches from JIRA and issues from PlasticSCM.
Embed links to open each other Web Portal.In general, a text box in the Jira issue is not enough. The interaction should be smooth.

Pull Requests
Provide a mechanism to approve merges into specific branches.
One option is to use pull requests with an approval mechanism (of one or more required approvals).This will allow trace-ability and enforcement of organization rules.
Linking it to code review will make it even greater.(Check out Stash for examples)

Integrate the Repository configuration (plastic configuration wizard) with the Plastic UI.
Currently, to use a different repository server, you have to run the configuration wizard multiple times.
It would be much more convenient to be able to open the Plastic SCM tool and click "add new server..." or "select repositories from server..." so that the user can choose where to get a list of repositories (projects) to work with - and start creating workspaces to pull the project down to.
The following is a scenario I ran into:
1) I created a local plastic server to replace my personal CVS server for projects that I work on at home. Using the…10 votes -
Ability to copy new and changed files from a Diff... comparison
When running a Diff... between changesets using Plastic GUI (say, when comparing the most recent changeset to the last published build), it would be very useful to be able to copy all new and changed files from the workspace to a specified target directory.

Issue tracking extension for github issues system
It'd be a cool idea to create a github service hook and an accompanying issue tracking extension for Plastic to read issues from there. I don't know Ruby but I could help out with the Issue Tracking extension in plastic!

Active Directory - Work with huge AD trees
I came across a blog post about this limitation. If you are using ADO/ADO.net, you should be able to set the Page Size property to 999 - which will in fact return ALL users instead of being limited to 1000 (if you set it at 1000 or above, you will get exactly that many and no more, setting it to less really means "I want them all, but only x at a time")
Obj.Properties.Item['Page Size'].Value := 950
where Obj is an ADO Command object (not sure what the .NET equivalent is)0 votes -
export item revision
When browsing a branch or changeset for items it sometimes would be nice to save a file/folder to some place on the disk.
Some files belong together and if I want to view or even execute these files I need all of them with correct filenames in the same place.
Clicking on a item in plastic opens this file with the system standard viewer in a temporary directory. Depending on the file this may not be a good idea! Therefore I need a way to select some items (files/folders) and export them.

workflow rules
As each branch should have a defined role and may or may not interact with other branches plastic scm needs a workflow management system (I'm inspired by Jira) which allows definitions of branch roles and let's call it "change/information flow" rules.
This would provide a way to define which branch can be merged into another branch and which can't!
Each branch then needs a role assigned at creation time. Even here the workflow rules could define which roles may be given to a branch created from another branch wich a given role.

Include a preference to override all unchecked pending changes in workspace on check-in.
I know this was the default behavior a couple of versions ago, and it was extremely advantageous for our team because we tend to have a lot of files (XML data and such) that get changed but we don't intend to preserve those changes.
We had been in the habit of checking in only our relevant changes, and it's been a big change to our workflow to have to either undo all pending changes first, or deal with the merges that ensue. If there was an option to prefer the old behavior it would be a big help!

Allow setting a color for each label, changeset and branch
It would be a nice feature to allow setting a color for elements.
Examples:
- set the label color red to mark it as "important".
- set the branch color to green to indicate that the branch is the "test branch"46 votes -
If a changeset is deleted, switch to the parent changeset and KEEP the changes in the "pending changes"
When a changeset is removed the workspace is switching to the parent changeset and all changes get lost.
I think it is better to keep all changes in the "pending changes", so you do not lose any changes and you can add some more changes.It often happens to me that I forget some small changes, so I have to check in again producing a lot of unnecessary changesets.

Lock a Branch
LOCK a branch so no one can perform a merge or checkin except the one who took the lock.
Current scenario: Two or more developers are are working on child branches and want to merge back to the parent branch, if both initiate the merge, the first will succeed but the second will have to re-merge again. To avoid this, the developers can send an email, asking all to wait until he finishes the merge...
Proposed solution: Allow the one to take a lock on the target branch, do the work, and release it. During the lock, others should be…102 votes
