Allow show/hide of diff view section in "pending changes"

[Mikael Kalms]

Hi,

The bottom half of the Pending Changes / Checkin Changes view in Plastic, Gluon and PlasticX is dedicated to the diff view.

When our artists use these tools, they are sometimes not interested in seeing the diffs at all. However, it seems there is no way to disable the diff view. All they can do is drag down the horizontal divider almost all the way to the bottom - but this is not ideal either, and also, if they close/open Plastic/Gluon/PlasticX then the divider position will be reset.

Please consider adding a show/hide button that controls visibility of the diff view for PlasticX/GluonX.

Hi,

also for developers it would be a good feature to turn the diff of or exclude file types from diff. Our team is not using the diff most of the time. When PlasticX is used for operations (checkin, undo), most of the time the diff view is it's just time consuming. E.g. when selecting multiple files you have to make sure the last one is a file that can be checked very fast to have a good workflow. Otherwise, if you select e.g. a scene or a bigger prefab (when working with a Unity project) you have to wait until the diff is finished, even when the diff itself is not relevant. This makes the PlasticX client slower in comparison to the "old" Plastic client and because of this, most of our team members do not try the PlasticX client.
