Missing context menu in the 'Checking pending changes' window

[marioo]

There is no context menu available for changed files in the 'Checking pending changes' window. However, when you go to the 'Pending changes' tab in PlasticSCM's main window, its content is very similar, but here the context menu is available.

 

The thing is that the menu there enables you to view changes using the diff tool you prefer (the one set in application preferences). Unfortunately, in the window mentioned in the topic there is no such menu at all and you can view changes only using the diff tool embedded inside that window.

 

Most of us in our company are used to WinMerge and we would like to continue using it with PlasticSCM. I know the 'Pending changes' view enables you to do that, but you rarely use it when managing source code changes directly from Visual Studio (which displays the discussed window).

Hi,

 

That´s right, in the "Checking pending changes" window is not possible to diff using an external tool.  I think it´s an interesting feature we could develop. 

 

Could you add the suggestion to our user voice web page??: http://plasticscm.uservoice.com

 

Thanks for your feedback,

 

Regards,

Carlos
