Settings and activity

Not really sure how we can do this.

I mean: repo can be on a central server, workspace on a distant machine. There is no way for the server to trigger the renames, the machine can be down...

We could store an ID and try to figure out if the same ID still exists...

Anyway, how often do you rename repos? Is this really something happening frequently. I just ask because, well, I think we kept the same repo names for like 13+ years :-)

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I don't think it is the first time we receive something like this.

Would a REST API that we invoke from Plastic to any external "auth provider" good enough?

Hi Jani,

This is very "git-like", isn't it?

I understand you mean: if you pull the branch you are working on, then immediately do update just after. Do not update if that's not the active branch.

Well, it makes sense to me. I'll check with the team.

Can you please tell me more about this?

I'm sorry but I don't know what you exactly mean by side-scrolling. I guess being able to move the diagram with the wheel or something, but I'm not sure.

Hi David,

Really interesting idea.

But it must be the proxy the one actively downloading once being notified somehow by the server, right?? I mean, normally the central server won't reach the proxy because of network topology in my experience.

Hi Andrew,

yes, it makes a lot of sense.

We didn't do it so far because we'll need some javascript thing to restart the thing and the server is the one hosting the webadmin console ... but nothing that tons of other servers do... we'll think on it.

pablo

Uhm... ok...

Hi David,

Sure, it is a must, otherwise you are blind with big merges... argh, just feel bad not having this.

Note taken.

Hi Blake,

I need more clarification on this.

I'll contact you by email to ask you to add more info.

Hey Jan,

Question: how are you doing these refactors?? From an IDE?? From the CLI??

I just want to get more background.

Thanks,

pablo

Hi ELIZA,

We tend to directly close requests made as Anonymous, so we'd really appreciate if you can change your user name.

That being said. Can you clarify what you exactly need?

Thanks,

pablo

Hey Wolfram,

Yes, I see what you mean, and yes, it makes sense.

Since we have improved change detection and autorefresh a lot in the latest versions, probably we can implement this without extra cost...

I'll check with the team.

Keep pinging if we don't give you a solution.

To be honest, I missed this feature myself on a demo recently :P

pablo

Hey, thanks for sharing this.

I've been aware of these symbol servers for... like more than a decade (almost two now). I mean, I think they had a different name before.

They are awesome anyway.

I'd really (really) like to implement this.

Do you know of anyone, any contractor, we could hire to implement this?? I mean, I'm not sure we'll have the time to do it ourselves here, but we can certainly pay someone to do it.

Thanks!

pablo

Hey Walter,

Thanks for pushing on this... we have a ton of requests, we try to prioritize, so pushing always help :-)

The request makes a lot of sense, so I'll share it with the team in next scrum.

If you see we don't answer.. keep pushing :P

Hi Lauri,

We need to understand this better.

Why do you need to download a folder to disk instead of switching to the branch and working on it???

pablo

Hi Göran!

Yes, I understand your request, but we need more interest to go ahead.

These sort of features, while interesting, seem to be not very appreciated by many, and end up cluttering the UI, which is unfortunate.

Thanks!

pablo

Hi Nick,

No reason why not...

I'm adding this to my list of usability requests. Please PING ME if we don't answer in a reasonable time... we need you guys to push :-)

pablo

Hey Ondrej,

So, opening our own editor to show files instead launching an external one, for speed purposes, right?

pablo

Hi Eamon,

Super interesting indeed! This is one of the features we'd love to implement :)

The annotate tells where the change was made (on which changeset and branch). You can check when this branch is integrated in main using the branch explorer.

It also can be done by CLI using the cm find merge. Example:

We know by the annotate that the line was changed on br:/main/task. In order to know where/when the br:/main/task was integrated on main we use: "cm find merge where srcbranch='br:/main/task'"

I don't know if this could be enough.
