Hi @blue I need it when I want my team to modify the repository or server set for an existing workspace. Example: we renamed the repository, or create a new one where we replicated some branches from the old repo, or when we change the server or just the server URL. Before the way to do was "set workspace selector" and entering the new selector text. But of course I would prefer a nice GUI where you can select the new repository and the server for the current workspace. Regards

Hello, In the legacy version of Plastic GUI it was possible to create a top level branch by right-clicking on the branch explorer and clicking "create top level branch". I did not find this feature in PlasticX Regards,

Hello, Out of curiosity, why is the Plastic USN Journal Tracker an independent services? I would expect cm.exe or Plastic GUI to be able to read the USN at the moment it tries to look for pending change. (This is just a technical curiosity question) Regards,

In the previous GUI, doing a right-click on the workspace selector (see below) it let you edit it. But this feature is not available in PlasticX

In the "classic" version of PlasticSCM GUI mouse scroll were scrolling the branch explorer horizontally. In Plastic X the mouse scroll vertically. This is a good improvement. I wish to still be able to scroll horizontally, but I did not find how to do so. I am expecting Ctrl+Mouse-Wheel or Shift+Mouse-Wheel but those does not make it scroll horizontally

I think there was a "Show in Branch Explorer" context menu feature when right click on branch and changeset of branch view and changeset view, but this option does not exist anymore on PlasticX

Hello, I wish to have an option from the contextual menu to see the expected contribution of a child branch to its parent (if merged), which is the diff between the tip of the branch and the common ancestor of the main branch (F0/A0 and H1/C1 in the diagram below) Today if I used the "diff branch" feature, it shows me the diff from the origin of the branch. If I take the /main1 example below, "diff branch" shows H1/A1 instead of H1/C1, as a result the "diff branch" contains a lot of changes which actually are not part of /feature1 (here it will be C1 and B1 changes). I can manually visualize what I want by manually selecting the diff between H1 and C1, but it big repository it is a tedious operation and a which for automated button to show that diff.

Today, when you open a diff view window, exploring the repository (e.g clicking on other object of the branch explorer) will modify the context of the opened diff view. On Plastic GUI "classic", there was this "shift" key feature, which does not does not work on PlasticX, I have open an issue report. But more than the "shift" key solution to open static diff view. I wish for: - static diff view to be the default (at least having an option to do so) - clearly differentiating between window which are static, from the one which is dynamic.

The option explained is that blog post does not work anymore on PlasticX. https://plasticscmsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360022898534?input_string=clicking

Hi @Sravz, It is a regression compare to the previous GUI. In the previous GUI the permission window is already inconvenient when you want to add the same permission set to a lot of different group (hard to check quickly checkboxes, hard to compare permission between group) but if we cannot even resize the window to visualize all the permission of a group at once, it is becoming hell. Best Regards, -Marc

The options "Enter relayout mode" does not exist anymore:

The option "Branch Levels" in Display Options does not exist anymore

The "View Branch Explorer" function does not exist anymore in the context menu of repository. Nor view labels, view changesets, etc.

The previous version let you resize and see all the permission at once. Now you have to scroll up and down...

great, I am looking forward it! 😀

@Daniel Peñalba in your example we can see the font are different but also Chrome - Segoe UI is using subpixel rendering (we can see different color) which is not the case of PlasticX. Also I am curious, why not to use the default system font? It looks to me the default design choice for mainstream crossplatform application (like Internet Browser)

As the administrator of the Plastic SCM server of the company I switch between my user credential and the administrator credential all the time. I also user other user credentials when I am debugging permission settings. Some of us also use local Plastic Server which have a different credential system (company one use LDAP mode, local one use User+Password).

When opening "browse repository in this changesets" or "view changesets in this branch" in the right of the branch explorer there are no "close" button to close those views.

It is possible to remove from server disk the content of old changeset? Reason: I would like to use PlasticSCM as Artifact Repository to store our build artifact. Each build of our game have at least 1Gb of .pdb, in contrary of game data, .pdb change at every build. We have around 20 build per day, which 20Gb of new data per day. At that pace our PlasticSCM harddrive would be full after 1 year. Fortunately we don't care about old build artifact, we only care the last month artifact and maybe few specific one. If I could delete old changeset, or at least old changeset data I could cleanup useless data from time to time.

Today you cannot browse the Branch Explorer and identify changesets because nor the changeset number nor the comment is displayed on the graph. The graph show relationship between changeset without being able to identify them. To identify a changeset you need to click on it, and you can only see the identity one at a time.

For instance, today if I want to look for all the *.txt files in a folder containing the word "Server", I do not know if it is possible and if it is I do not know which wildcard/request syntax to use. Most modern text editor, IDE, or GUI related to file have a much simpler and powerful search bar where you can type keyword separated with space and it will look for those keywords in subpart of folder name and filename. It makes it possible to find a file you do not know the name exactly. Here is some example with Visual Studio Code:

User can be the owner of a repository, and can belong to several groups. Groups can be nested. Today it is impossible to know which permission a specific user have, because he can belong to several group, and because it is not known in which order group permission are applied. I wish for a repository related GUI where I can enter a username and see its what permission it has for this repository.

When I browse changesets or search a particular one I often need to see which file has been added, modified or deleted by this changeset. Today I need to do a "right click" > "Diff Changesets" on a changeset and open a separated window in order to see what it does. When browsing, it would be way more convenient to see this list of file changed by the changeset directly on the "Branch Explorer" or "Changesets" view. (This feature you can find in Perforce or common Git GUI)

As a PlasticSCM server administrator I often need to switch between my personal account, the administrator root account, and some particular user account (to debug their situation). This switch is not convenient today because I need to re-enter username and password in the setting menu manually. I wish I could save several combination of user/password and be able to switch it as easily as I can switch workspace.
