Hi @tucny, This is not solely focused on graphics development. We'd love to get your feedback on developer productivity automations!

Thank you for the feedback on the UI @tcz8and @Marc S! This feedback has been shared with the team.

The new Plastic SCM web experience open beta is now live on the Unity Dashboard! Documentation is availablehere. Back in June, we put out a call for beta users for the new Plastic SCM web experience, which embedded powerful Version Control System (VCS) functionality directly within the Unity Dashboard. We’re very happy to report that we are opening this functionality to all Plastic SCM Cloud Edition users in the form of an open beta! You can now bring team members on board, manage user permissions, browse files and repositories, and navigate changes directly in Unity Dashboard. You can also add markdown files and embed images and GIFs! One of our top feature requests for Plastic SCM was for a rich code review experience on the web, for multiple reviewers, with the intent to merge. We are happy to announce this new code review experience is now available as of today!You will be able to see exactly what changes were made, when they were done, and by whom with the annotate and blame feature. You will also have the ability to sort changes by a date range, actions, color coding or labels. A simple click brings more detail and diffs the code.Here is a list of the Plastic SCM functionality you can now conduct out of the Unity Dashboard:OnboardingAdmins can now invite new users to an org, and add or adjust various permissions for that user at both the org and repository level, directly from the Unity dashboard. They can also view current Users and create or modify User Groups.Code ReviewThe Code Review tab in the Unity Dashboard shows all open Code Review tasks, including ones specifically assigned to you as a user. You can also use this tab to create a Code Review request, indicate what has changed, and even add multiple reviewers, who will immediately be notified of the new review. Reviews can be conducted in several different views, including a Full File View, which shows all lines of code and highlights what has changed, where, and when, a paired down view which ONLY displays what has changed, and even Side-by-Side and Tree Views that will be familiar to users of GitHub and GitLab. Monitor UsageAdmins can use the Dashboard to filter on specific timelines to track how repo size or active user count has changed. They can also gauge product engagement among their user base, tracking more granular usage statistics like the number of diffs, branches, merges, and code reviews.How to AccessThe new Plastic SCM web experience is now open to all users of Plastic SCM Cloud Edition. For new users, this functionality will be immediately available to you once you sign up for Plastic SCM Cloud Edition. Once signed into the Unity Dashboard, you will see the new tabs under the Plastic SCM Cloud Edition section of the DevOps tab. Note that if your Plastic SCM org is encrypted, you will not be able to view any of your files in the Unity Dashboard. If you’d like to visualize your files in the new experience, you will need to open a new Cloud org and reupload your data. Our support team can guide you through this process. We will be monitoring this thread closely, so feel free to share your experience and feedback with us here. Happy creating!

Hi everyone, The new Plastic SCM GUI (alpha) is now the default GUI for MacOS and Linux as of our latest release! The new GUI is now discoverable in the bottom left corner of the "Legacy GUI" on all platforms. When using the new GUI, it is possible to switch back to the Legacy GUI at any time as shown in the screenshots below. As always, feel free to share your feedback with us in this forum which we are actively monitoring for issue reports and feature requests. Thanks!

Hi everyone, The new Plastic SCM GUI (alpha) is now available as of our latest release! It will be included along with improvements in each Plastic SCM releases moving forward. It is now the default GUI for MacOS and Linux and is discoverable in the bottom left corner of the Windows GUI. The new Plastic GUI will eventually replace our Legacy GUI. It is cross-platform, includes a dark theme and provides better syntax highlighting. Many more improvements are coming soon, including Gluon support! Try out the new experience and switch back to the Legacy GUI at any time. Feel free to share your feedback with us in our Early Adopter Program forum, which we are actively monitoring for issue reports and feature requests. Thanks!

Hi everyone and happy new year! We have released last week a significant update to PlasticX. You can view our complete release notes here: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/releasenotes/10.0.16.6419 Plastic Links are now available for all platforms! All platforms - PlasticX: Added support for diff and code review Plastic Links Plastic Links are a great way to share content from your plastic repositories with your colleagues. You can easily share diffs, links to files and links to code reviews using Plastic Links. What is a plastic link? A plastic link is a URL that looks something like: plastic://test.cloud/repos/NikkiTest1/changesets/50/diff How do I open it? Just click on the link in the normal way and Plastic or Gluon will launch (if not already running) automatically and show you the content specified in the link. Note: On Windows and MacOS, while PlasticX is in alpha, you will be asked whether you want to open links in Plastic (official release) or in PlasticX (alpha). You can change this setting at any time in Preferences -> Other options. On Linux, plastic links will always be opened in PlasticX. How do I create a link to share with my colleagues? From within Plastic, you can share diffs from any diff view by clicking on the Plastic Link icon in the top right corner. This copies the link into your clipboard, ready to paste into a message. You can also share code reviews by clicking the Plastic Link icon in the top right of the code review window. Here is a screenshot of the Plastic Link icon: What else is new? All platforms - PlasticX: launch internal image diff by default If you have the default binary diff tool configured (or have no binary diff tool configured), image diffs will launch in a new PlasticX window. All platforms - PlasticX: Save the last used workspace. When switching the workspace from the top-left workspace selector, now the last used workspace is remembered when you close and reopen PlasticX. All platforms - PlasticX: Support lines longer than 10.000 characters in diff and annotate views. Prior to this fix, AvaloniaEdit (the text editor we use to display differences and annotate), didn't support displaying lines longer than 10.000 characters. We created this PR to fix it https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/AvaloniaEdit/pull/172 All platforms - PlasticX: Added scroll bar to the annotate view Before this change, the annotate view was scrollable, but the scroll bar was not visible. We changed this and now you can see a vertical scroll bar when the file is long enough All platforms - PlasticX: Added color picker control Added the color picker control to be able to set custom colors to branches and changesets in the branch explorer using the rules and filters panel. This is how it looks: Bug Fixes All platforms - PlasticX: The "home" icon sometimes was not drawn on a newly created branch. In certain machines under some concurrency scenarios, when creating a new branch and selecting the "Switch workspace to this branch" caused that the new branch is created but the home icon is not in the right place. Now it's fixed. All platforms - PlasticX: Removed separator from the notification bar In the bottom status bar, we sometimes show notification messages. To separate those messages we use a vertical line, which should only be visible when there is more than one message. We were always showing this line, even when there were no notifications to show: Linux - PlasticX: Fixed hang when closing application Sometimes when closing the workspace window in Linux, the application got frozen and it never ended. We fixed this issue All platforms - PlasticX: Fixed an error that appeared after opening and closing the preferences window. When opening and closing the preferences window, PlasticX displayed an exception. Now it's fixed. All platforms - PlasticX: Removed latency when toggling "Only relevant" button When clicking on the "Only relevant" button in the branch explorer, there was a latency that made the GUI freeze for some seconds. This was because of an operation that should be running in the background but instead was blocking the whole application. We fixed this call and now the branch explorer updates immediately Also, now after refreshing the branch explorer view, if there are new branches or changesets that match the text in the search box, they will be highlighted

Hi @AlanMattano, We recently announced our Early Adopter Program for PlasticX, our new cross-platform Plastic GUI which includes a dark theme. Feel free to join our alpha. This is also a wonderful opportunity for you to help us shape the future of the new GUI and influence the direction of Plastic SCM since the UX/UI redesign of Plastic SCM will be done in this new GUI.

Hi everyone! We have just published a new Plastic SCM release: https://www.plasticscm.com/download/releasenotes/10.0.16.6307 You will find the following PlasticX improvements as part of this release: macOS native menus are now available Syntax highlight for the dark theme Thanks! The Plastic SCM Team

Hi @KristofMorva, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide detailed feedback on our dark theme UI! We will fold this feedback as part of our next design audit. It has already been shared with our team.

Thank you so much@Xarbrough,@Todd Aand @byg_jamesfor the great feedback! Our team is actively monitoring the thread and the proposed improvements make a lot of sense. I will chat more with the team about addressing some of the above feedback in our next releases. We are already working on updates to some of the items you have mentioned in your replies. The "Switch Workspace" button will be removed from its current location and we are planning to leverage the top bar as @Xarbrough and @byg_jamesboth suggest. For the Issue tracking system binding, @Todd A we are actively working on porting this feature over to PlasticX and we will make sure to update our release notes thread as soon as it becomes available. Please keep the feedback coming - we will be actively iterating based on the feedback we receive. Thanks
