jmranger Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm not sure whether there's an official channel for feature requests, but since PlasticSCM folks are reading the forum... The title says it all. I'm hitting that 1000 characters limit every few weeks, and doing magic to fit is getting annoying. Programmers are known for not liking to write documentation and I'm no exception - being told that I wrote too much is awkward Cheers, Jean-Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hi Jean-Marc! well you can add the idea in our user voice site: https://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general Then you can invite others to vote your idea and we'll get it implemented. All the documentation is always welcome! awkward is better than nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidico Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 A loooong time ago I had this same feeling about this, but Manu told me it was a limitation from SQLite. How do you intend to resolve this problem? Right now, I'm using the SQLite as my backend database... It would really be great to have "unlimited" chars to write info about checkins...

jmranger Posted June 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 (sorry for the delay - uservoice.com is the first website I encounter that doesn't play well with the Ghostery extension to Firefox). Manu: thanks for the info. I just did it. Cidico: yes, I found your posts [1] before starting this thread, but it wasn't clear for me whether Manu's comment applied to the 100 characters to the label length or the comment length. I linked to it in my entry in UserVoice [2] In any cases, we programmers all know that everything can be done - it's only a matter of time & money [1] http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/1087-maxium-label-length/ [2] http://plasticscm.uservoice.com/forums/15467-general/suggestions/4017991-remove-1000-characters-limit-on-checkin-comment-le Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Done! "5.0.44.598" release. Release notes: New Server: Now, the maximum comment size can be manually configured. To configure this parameter, add a new tag in the server's 'db.conf' file, named 'CommentLimit' in order to set the value for the maximum allowed comment length (in characters). Example: <DbConfig> ... <CommentLimit>2000</CommentLimit> ... </DbConfig> However, this configuration will require the sysadmin to manually alter the database tables to match this new value (see column 'scomment' on table 'object'). The comment length limit is set to 1000 characters by default. Even so, importing data (cm sync or cm fast-import) will only store the first 1000 characters of incoming comments, no matter which value is contained in the 'CommentLimit' tag. Warning: Please note that replication operations may fail if servers have different comment length limits. Please make sure that all involved servers have their 'CommentLimit' tag set to the same value in the 'db.conf' file and their repository databases have been modified accordingly.
