Share changeset colors in .conf file

Right now I have to set up the changeset colors again for each team member on every computer that I work on. Some of my team members don't know about the feature at all and don't dare touch the options.

I'd like to be able to store the colors in a .conf file for each project, so they're set up once and for all.

As these settings are Windows only and they are already stored in a configuration file that can be shared among peers, we’ll decline this suggestion for now. Thank you for your feedback :)

    I do indeed use Windows.

    I'm referring to user colors and replication source.

    Thanks for the instructions, that makes it a little easier. It would still be nice to set it up in a shared conf file, though, so people are set up quicker. While the procedure is doable, it's not something you think of when you set up a new user.

    Hello Rando,

    I'll suppose you use Windows. Which changeset colors do you refer to? Right now we have:

    * Format colors. It is the most recent feature, and you can configure it from "Filters and conditional format".
    * Color by owner. You can configure it from "Changesets colors - Users".
    * Color by replication source. You can configure it from "Changeset colors - Replication sources".

    You can already share format colors using the plastic-global-config repository. You can learn how to do so here:

    https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/administration/plastic-scm-version-control-administrator-guide#Administration-Creating-plastic-global-config-Branch-Explorer

    For the second and third ways to color a changeset, these are the relevant files:
    * Color by owner: branchexploreruserscolors.conf
    * Color by Replication source: replicationsourcesinfo.conf

    You can find these files in %LOCALAPPADATA%\plastic4 (as they are available only for Windows). %LOCALAPPDATA% is usually "C:\Users\{your_user}\AppData\Local".

    You can edit these files to adjust them to fit your needs. The format is easy, you can grasp it reading the files. Then, you can share these files with your peers without further ado.
