wvd_vegt Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi I have coupple of request for client improvements: 1) In the list of repositories it would be nice if there was an indicator of workspaces behind in updates (so are not working on the tip). I'm currently working on two places and using sync to synchronize, but besides syncing i also need to set the workspace to the most recent version before starting to work on it. It would be handy if i could see what project need this kind of attention without opening branch explorers for all of them. 2) Activate a workspace when double clicking them (maybe optional) but right-clicking all the time is not that easy to do. and bad for RSI. 3) I would like to see a view with full comments like typed in in the changeset view or in a report vreated from it with multi-line comments (not flattend to a single line). I normally use a (numbered) bullet style. So i would like to see a kind of changelog with changeset numbers, labels and full multi-line comments. Just a exportable report would be fine too. 4) Have an option for some basic formatting in the chec-in comment dialog (bulltets or numbers). 5) Get a warning if you try to close the check-in dialog without checking-in something when there are changes. The current check-in button is far from intuiitive and the current close button is where i would expect the check-in button. The close button should perhaps be named cancel. regards Wim van der Vegt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Wim! I find all your feedback very very interesting! I'll share the list with the team. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Manu, No thanks, If I like a product, I tend to make suggestions (a 'bad' habit of mine;-) if I see room for improvement. With plastiscm it's difficult as I already like it very much and do not want to swtich back to VSS or anything else. In my case most of them originate from the high number of repo's and workspaces. PlasticSCM itself works like charm but the client app usability drops a bit. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 It's not a bad habit! We really appreciate your feedback... It helps us to make a better tool. At the end of the day the most important voice is the customer one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hi Manu Thanks for apprecating! I agree the end product should always be a better product (and you guys are doing fine). Btw in the last 20 years or so i had only one 'hostile' response like 'non of your business'. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvd_vegt Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi Manu Small new request, it would be nice if the Syn Replication view had the option to remotely create workspaces. I now have to use the commandline and retype a fairly long machine name (full AD one) to create a workspace at a remote machine. So it would be nice (and easier with less chance on typing erres) if the Dialog for Add replication repository had the option to just select a server and add by typing just the repository name (or maybe even better have it already filled in with the local one, assuming names will probably match in a lot of cases). Btw besides my problem with the deleted branch, syncing is really an eye opener. As i develop alone, I use it also as a kind of backup too (besides file backups off-course). And it allows me to work at multiple machines.Still got a lot of features to try!! regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidico Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hi Wim, I would like to very much if we could create a repository remotely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi! can you please add the idea into the user voice system? https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi Manu I'll try to add it but I have more ideas than votes ;-); You always need 1 to propose a new feature (so i have to drop my support on another one). regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi Manu Next client improvement: The files in the Items view have an context menu option Open With. It would be nice if i did not have to select my favorite editor (TextPad btw) every time. Luckily the directory is remembered so it's nor as worse as it could get. Suggestions would be to: a) be able to define some editors/viewers that then are shown as submenu items. preload these editors/viewers with the list of applications already defined by the OS (Windows in my case). So basically mimic the open-with feature of explorer a bit more. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvd_vegt Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hi Manu, Some more (small) suggestions for further improvements: 1) The repository table might be extended with a #of workspaces column. 2) The context menu in the repositories table could do with a add workspace menuitem. 3) The workspaces table might be extended with a repository name column. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakubH Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I really like the suggestion to add my editors in a context menu of a file in an items view (I would like to have it in pending changes and diffs too). I would add Open with... PSPad, PSPad Hex, Photoshop, whatever,... that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidico Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi! To not create another thread with the same subject, I'm going to put my suggestions here... Maybe you could allow "large icons" visualization in the Items View, keeping the current as default. Still in the Items View, allow grouping file by type, creation date and some other file details (more like Windows Explorer does with folders view); Allow the user to Highlight some user-defined extensions files in the Items View, Pending Changes, Merge and another windows that display list of files; Grouping branches by branch parenting in the Branches View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakubH Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think the last suggestion has been added already in 4.1.10.355. See: http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2012/10/plastic-scm-4110355-is-out.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
