Dynamic Branch Explorer Layout

[mig]

Hi @gweronimo,

Would you like to discuss your ideas with @S_Luis and me next week? There are some questions we'd like to ask you. We're thinking about next Monday 18 November. What's your timezone? We're UTC+1.

Thanks!

 

Regards,

Miguel

Hi Göran,

Could you please send me an email to mgonzalez@codicesoftware.com so we can arrange the meeting?

Thanks!

Thanks for the meeting! To summarize, the following 3 suggestions are top on my wishlist regarding branch explorer:

* Give an option to arrange the "Branch Explorer" layout vertically to mimic the "Branches - Tree view" hierarchy, with every children below its parent.

* Make the "branch base" links (or "cross-branch changeset links") clickable with tooltip and context menu, just like the merge arrows.

* Make the whole "Branch Explorer >" branch-context-submenu (Go to branch base, Show selected branches in a new diagram, etc) available in the Branches view as well.

Thank you Göran!

We'll discuss those enhancements to see how they fit best in our client.
