Update SVN Method History to work for VisualStudio 2013
Or - if possible - for all versions later than VS2010. It is a great product that has received too little attention.
1 voteUnfortunately we have to discard this one. SVN method hist wasn’t very successful, and since there are almost no users on it… we can’t invest more efforts to update it.
Kevin, maybe you can jump to Plastic SCM and enjoy all the new Semantic features! http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2015/08/track-refactored-code-across-files-with.html

Add "Default Workspace Directory" option.
Was marked complete but was only partially completed.
1 voteYou can already edit the default. In Linux and Mac it is doable through the GUI. On Windows, just edit client.conf. I think the default is good for 99% of the people. For the rest 1% probably editing client.conf is reasonable.

Subversion interface?
Our company uses MATLAB/Simulink to generate model based C code. We need to tie this in somehow to Plastic. Matlab/Simulink can use subversion. Can something be developed in Plastic to tie in to this?

Add "View items" to context menu in Repositories view
This would be a shortcut to browsing the selected repo on its /main branch, instead of having to do:
"View branches" - Select /main - right click - "View - Browse repository on this branch".
1 voteThanks for the suggestion, but this time we can’t really accept it.
I mean, if we select “main”, then next user will ask “make it configurable”, or “why main”, so we’ll have to add another option, going into the “feature creep mode” all software books advice you against :’-(
We don’t discard reopening this in the near future once we complete the re-implementation of the Windows GUI based on the simplified Mac and Linux counterparts.

Add "Open in Web UI" commands in Plastic views (if configured in Preferences)
If one has setup a plastic Web UI, it would be nice if there was a way inside the Plastic GUI to open the corresponding webpage for a branch, changeset etc.
The base URL could be configured in Preferences and the associated context commands could be hidden if no URL is entered (or if the functionality is disabled).
1 voteOnly 1 vote after months staying around… so it seems like a good candidate for clean up, I’m afraid :-S

Move all configuration files into user-editable folders
Most of the Plastic Server/Client configuration files reside in the installation folder of PlasticSCM (on both Windows and Macs). To change them you need superuser privileges. If you decide to reinstall/upgrade PlasticSCM these files get overwritten (e.g. when you install the Debian packages). So the settings should really go to a place where a normal user can edit them and where they will not get overwritten by an upgrade.
On Linux/Mac this is partially done for the client side with the .plastic4 folder inside the user's home, but things like the logging configuration or configuration for the CM tool still…
1 voteIt seems the answer clarified the question and there’s no implementation to do.

Add "--acceptcert" flag in CLI commands that contact server
The loads of text + interactive question that is spewed out in the console from the Plastic "cm" CLI command when there is some mismatch in the server certificate can disrupt any attempts at automation using the shell. If a certificate problem is expected, it would be nice if the certificate could be auto-accepted using a command line option.
1 voteBut this would be a security hole, wouldn’t it? I mean, Plastic warns you but you accept everything without checking… I don’t think it is a good idea.

Allow creation of the same "task"/branch name off of the same branch!
When trying to create a child branch from a branch that already has the same task/named child branch Plastic refuses.
Maybe this could be a question, "branch already exists, continue?" so you can still create the branch.
This is useful for bug fixing when it's inappropriate to go back to the original branch and great for keeping the JIRA updated with plastic changes, instead of workarounds like renaming branches.
1 voteWe never heard back from the submitter…

Allow Plastic Client GUI to have a list of different servers connections for different project/clients
Now the Plastic Client GUI allows only one server connection information. In my case I have different projects, for different companies in different servers. I need to setup it all the time.
1 voteYou can already achieve that using profiles :-)

Allow to change the server url of a workspace
Every now and then I need to change the server URL which is associated with a workspace. SVN has the switch and relocate commands for this, git allows to do this by setting the origin of a repository clone. In PlasticSCM I need to delete and re-create the workspace. It would be nice if there was a relocate command for doing this.
1 voteHi Jan,
Yes, it is even possible to make the switch as you proposed, or to use aliases.
In the near future we’ll redo some of the workspace tree storage stuff, cleanly separating the repspecs from the rest of the data, so editing will be much simpler :)
At this point, I’m going to close this request since it has too few votes and it can be solved using aliases, ok?

Do not scan files ignore list.
We have a great directory tree is added to the ignor list.
As a result of updating Pending changes lasts a very long time.
Please, do not scan files/folders ignore list.1 voteUser never replied with more info. Couldn’t reproduce.

Server dropdown
Recently I have to switch between servers very often. In office it's intranet - at home a vpn. But there is just one input box which allows only a single url which is very inconvenient to use.
Much better would be to have a dropdown with all the server addresses being used.
The checkbox for "ssl" should be obsolete. You can determine if it's ssl connection from the address itself: "ssl://".
1 voteWe will review what we can do to make finding “profiles” chapter in the docu easier.
It is actually documented in the following links:

lock files with gui
Locking certain files are that common thing to do for every project that this task should have a simple gui. Not everybody likes it to mess with config files.
1 voteNot a bad one, but nobody else asked for it in a year.
We have a plan to create a web-based admin tool, so this would go in the pack.

cm command names should be case insensitive
cm command names should be case insensitive so that they are
more readable in scripts.E.g. getmergeneededbranches vs getMergeNeededBranches
1 voteWe try to always use lowercase, which seems to be a well-known practice.
So: not sure commands should be insensitive as you say, it wouldn’t be super-hard to implement if you really think this is one of the key things you are missing in Plastic :-)

Analysis Tool Suggestion
Have you thought about adding analysis tools such as temporal coupling diagrams (https://youtu.be/0oDporwhToQ?t=1502) and fractal figures (https://youtu.be/0oDporwhToQ?t=1819) into your product?

We already have before/after maklabel… and, there’s no difference right now (since Plastic 4) between applying a label and creating it. In fact, we must remove the apply label command.

Code reviews should be syncronized between repositories
If one company has 2 repositories syncronized, because it has 2 headquarters and it speeds up the process, then reviews done in one repository is not reflected in the other, turning reviews useless in this sceneario. Ideally, like changesets, branches and so on, code reviews should be in sync too
1 voteCodeReviews are replicated, indeed.
The thing is that they do not show up in the sync view. Is that what you mean? If so, yes, we’ll consider this. -
Plastic SCM lost all its settings and user settings when uninstalling Python
Plastic SCM lost all its settings and user settings when uninstalling Python.
Uninstalled Python 2.7 and Python 3.6 ( Work related ).
Then everything was lost in Plastic SCM, server, filters, colors.. everything.1 voteVincent, please contact support for an issue like this.
We don’t use Python at all in Plastic, so it is hard to understand.
