I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Search matches: too high minimum similarity level

    Sometimes when you modify a file and then rename it, Plastic SCM is unable to match the original file with the renamed one. In that case you can use the ‘Search matches’ tool to select the file that matches the original one. However, It is not always possible, because the minimum similarity level that you can set when searching is 50%.

    Imagine you add a comment to a small file that contains only a definition of an enumerable and then rename the file. Because it is small, the comment becomes a major part of the file and the similarity to…

    Hello,

    we have changed the Search Matches form to remove the minimum similarity level. Moreover, we have changed the matching algorithm so that changes in indentation are not taken into account.

    These new features can be found since version 5.0.44.566 of PlasticSCM.

  2. update the demo server since the current shipping client is at a new version (5.0.43.0 vs 5.0.44.0)

    Keep demo server version current with shipping client version so newbies can actually work through the demo.

    The demo server has been successfully updated to version 5.0.44.x, so now you will be able to complete the evaluation guide using the latest PlasticSCM version available. We encourage you to try again and give us feedback of your PlasticSCM experience! :-)

    Thanks!

  4. enable text selection buffer on Linux

    You can only copy text using ctrl-c rather than highlight/select and paste with middle mouse button as in other Linux applications. This is very awkward.

  5. Release 5.0 officially (and forget about still developing 4.1)

    It's been too long in beta, it needs to be released. Some release notes describing how it differs from 4.1 would be nice as well.

  6. Code review: marking individual files as viewed

    While you are doing a code review, you may be interrupted by a call or whatever. It is difficult to keep track of which files you have already verified in that case, especially if the code review is one of many tasks you are performing at the same time :-).

    What do you think about adding a feature of ticking individual files in a code review as verified? Just to know which files you have already seen.

  7. Open client GUI with dead server

    Currently, (in "centralized mode") if a server cannot be contacted, the plastic client GUI won't open, even if there are multiple profiles, and another server IS contactable. This appears to depend on the last active workspace - if the last active workspace belongs to the server that is down, the tool can't be opened.

    It would be extremely beneficial to be able to open the tool, and select a different workspace weather the current server is available or not - perhaps show those workspace(s) as greyed out or non-available, disable or close the tabs

  8. "Support" tab on blog obscures blog content

    http://i.imgur.com/4OF36ba.png

    this makes the post hard to read - people will TL;DR sooner because you can effectively not scan the article at a glance. One needs to scroll in order to unobscure even the headings

  9. Fix "Stop bug spreading" diagram.

    In the second diagram in "Stop bug spreading" at http://www.plasticscm.com/infocenter/quick-start/intro-task-driven-development.aspx, it says "This check-in introduces a bug, but only "john" will get affected by it until he merges". It was "pat" that made the change, so presumably "john" should read "pat". Either that, or I'm completely misunderstanding the concept.

  10. checkin progress bar

    The checkin progress dialog just says 'In progess...' with a spinner before 'confirming checkin' starts (eg. when checking dependencies). It would nice if the progress covered all parts of the process since for ~7000 files nothing changes for ~15mins. The subsequent stages where there is a progress bar seem to be much faster (<1min).

  11. scan only needed files in pending changes

    In the pending changes options there are a lot of checkboxes which hide some specific files from the list of changes.
    It would be nice if those files weren't even scanned through while calculating this view.

    The problem is: we have some data folders inside the workspace with a lot of small files (very slow hard drive access). We need the general option "compair file content not only timestamps". When I click refresh view, with those data folders in my workspace, it takes up to one minute to calculate the view (I have very view data folders, some of my…

  12. Simple diffs in a merge tool

    When I try to solve a more complex merge I often want to see a diff between an ancestor and a source or between a source and a destination. I know that the merge tool theoretically shows all those diffs at once, but it is not so legible. It would be nice to hide one of the file temporarily and see clean diff between the remaining two only. Or at least open those simple diffs from a context menu in a merge tool, as I can from an "items to merge" list.

  13. Highlighting of a new line in diffs

    I think it will be more consistent to highlight (with a darker color) all added characters, even on lines which are all new. See the picture:
    http://s15.postimg.org/uln6ryq17/diff.png
    Otherwise it is more difficult to distinguish what was really changed. Especially for longer lines.

  14. Arrows for navigating through changes/conflicts

    It is good that now we can navigate through changed/conflicting blocks using arrows even though there is only one changed/conflicting block. However when there is no changed/conflicting block those arrow are just confusing. I suggest to disable them when there is nothing they can navigate to.

  15. Checkin comment and Code review text boxes

    A commit message text box and a code review text box does not have any scroll bar, does not allow scrolling with a mouse and does not allow Ctrl+A (select all text). All these things would be useful.

  16. Invalid input in a new workspace dialog

    If the entered data are invalid in a new workspace dialog, then a message box appears (which is good) and the dialog is closed (which is bad). Users want to return to the dialog and fix the item, not to fill it again.

  17. Wider checkin comments history

    A checkin comments history drop down list is quite narrow and a lot of our comments don't fit there and end with ellipsis. When somebody use two or more comments with a same beginning, he or she cannot differ between them.
    It shouldn't be a problem to make it wider and/or add a popup with the whole text on a mouseover.

  18. search by guid in branch explorer

    It is sometimes desirable to to refer to changesets by guid to avoid confusion with replicated repos but if you search for guid (or part of one) nothing is found.

  20. Add ignored files

    This sounds odd, I know. But I don't want to have *.dll files in my repository so I ignored them. From time to time though I have some libs that are .dll files which I do want to have in the repository. I could help myself with not ignoring .dll files but the folders they are in, but this doesn't work out very good.

    So what I suggest is a force add or something to add a generally ignored file.
