Hi, Have you deleted changesets at some point in the local or cloud repo? Otherwise, the repository history should be the same if both repos are synced. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, I've shared your feedback with the product and dev teams for consideration. Your feedback is very welcome. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, This is very strange. If you manually create the missing file on this path, are you able to workaround the problem? 1. Could you try to uninstall it from the Windows "Program and features" --> Uninstall Plastic SCM?2. If it doesn't help, could you remove the following entry from the Windows registry? Regards, Carlos.

Do you mean somehow to keep the Xlink target updated when you perform changes directly in the Xlink? I'm afraid you will need to manually edit the Xlink to load the new changesets. If you were using a writable Xlink, when you perform changes in the Xlinked repo via the parent repo, the Xlink target is automatically updated. "cm" is the CLI Plastic client and it's distributed with every Plastic client installation. If "cm" is saved in the system PATH, you should be able to directly run it on a terminal. otherwise, you can also use the full "cm" path to run the commands. In Linux: /opt/plasticscm5/client/cm In Windows: C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM\client\cm Regards, Carlos.

Hi, Could you attach some screenshots? I'm using the new Plastic X GUI but I'm not able to follow the process. How are you "Page Up/down"? Sorry for the inconveniences, Carlos.

Hi, I'm afraid that the webUI is only available for on-premises servers (including the mergebots feature). Sorry for the inconveniences, Carlos.

Thanks for the update! We appreaciate your feedback.

Hi, Please cehck how to do it in the following link: https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/security/plastic-scm-version-control-security-guide#Preventusersfrommodifyingspecificitemsoncertainbranches If the issue persists and you reach us at support@plasticscm.com, we can try to arrange a meeting to debug it with you. Regards, Carlos.

The "cm diff" allows you to show the differences between two specific changesets (one changeset can be the same one you have loaded in your workspace). Regards, Carlos.

Thanks for the update. If we can still help, please let us know. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, I was asking to create a new workspac and update the workspce from scratch, is this what you did? If you rename/delete the current client configuration folder and reconfigure Plastic from scratch, does the issue persist? I'm guessing if it could be a local configuration issue. If the issue persists after that, there may be some issue in the repository. We would need some access to the repo to debug it. Regards, Carlos.

Can we get some temporary access to the repo to check if somehow is broken or we can reproduce the issue? My email is: carlos.alba@unity3d.com Regards, Carlos.

Does the issue happen if you crate a clean new workspace? If you rename/delete the current client configuration folder and reconfigure Plastic from scratch, does the issue persist? I'm guessing if it could be a local configuration issue. Regards, Carlos.

Are you aware of the mergebot feature? https://www.plasticscm.com/mergebot-devops

Hi, The "cm find" command is running a query in the repository. It's not related to what you (or any of your teammates have downloaded in a local workspace). If you are trying to show modified files, I'm guessing if the "cm diff" command could be more useful. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, Plastic supports work distributed (using replicas as git does) and also centralized. - If you work distributed, you can use replica with --nodata to partially clone the repo. You can clone the metadata avoiding to clone the data. This avoids to download big amount of data during the replicas. Git needs to hydrate the local repo to use it; Plastic can work without any local repo data, just retrieving the required blobs on demand from the original server (or a designated alternative). - Working centralized also solves the problem, but it is out of scope for Git. What I mean is that it is perfectly fine to work with a working copy directly connected to the central repo. Checkin (commit in Git jargon) and done. No need for the extra push/pull or having a loca repository. And that's solves the problem because you don't need the local or partial clone, and you can tweak the working copy to download only what you need. You can use Gluon to natively configure the files you want to download but you can also use "cloaked.conf" to do the same in the Plastic GUI. Regards, Carlos.

Hi @Plasmosis, if you are using the latest Plastic version, it should be a different issue. In your case, it's also happening when "Merge from this changeset to..."? Can you also workaround the problem via the legacy GUI? Please attach the Plastic client logs (and the estimated time when the error appearead) to debug the error stacktace: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\plastic4\logs Regards, Carlos.

Hi, In the "Pending Changes" view, there is a "Show shelves" button. Please let us know if it helps. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, Not very sure if I'm following you. In Plastic, you can configure hidden changes rules so you can avoid to submit changes in files. You can also keep the not necessary files as private in your workspace and add them to the ignore list to avoid submitting them by mistake. Does it help? Regards, Carlos.

Hi, I'm afraid there is not an easy workaround to configure a Plastic client via Unity ID in a Linux machine with no web browser. You should be able to configure it via CLI, but just user and password. For the Unity ID authentiation, you may need to paste the configuration files from a Windows machine. I'm checking with the team if we can somehow support it soon an an easier way. Regards, Carlos.

Hi @randall.c, the "hiddenchanges.conf" is automatically created when you add some files to the hidden changes list in the right-click menu. You can find the file (or manually create it) in the following paths: C:\Program Files\PlasticSCM5\client\hiddenchanges.conf C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\plastic4\hiddenchanges.conf Please let us know if it helps. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, The most natural way for the artists to work in Plastic if you don't want to use Xlinks is using Gluon GUI. They will be configuring the workspace to download the files they actually need and the rest of the project will be transparent to them. They normally use file locks so they don't need to worry about branching and merging. They can just focus on lock the file and checkin the changes keeping the workflow very simple. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, I'm afraid you cannot run a merge if there is not a common ancestor between the branches you plan to merge. You will need to sync the missing branches/changesets in order to run the merge. Regards, Carlos.

Hi, Only the files that are different with be downloaded when you switch to a different branch. You can use "cloaked.conf" to avoid downloading file revisions for the desired paths: https://www.plasticscm.com/documentation/gui/plastic-scm-version-control-gui-guide#addToCloakedListCommand Regards, Carlos.

Hi, Does it happen if you create a clean new workspace pointing to the same repo? Are there other coworkers affected using the same repo? Can you attach the Plastic client logs? C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\plastic4\logs Regards, Carlos.
