There's no way to put folder ignores in without editing the file directly, which seems unnecessarily effortful.  I seem to remember having this behavior once, maybe it was in SourceTree, but currently interaction with .gitignore is not ideal.

It would be extremely useful to be able to adjust the scaling on the fly, preferably with ctrl + and ctrl -.

I use SmartGit on a set up with multiple different resolution monitors and scaling, and it seems to be by chance which scaling SmartGit will launch in at any given time. I want to be able to adjust it manually.

Failing this, the software should scale based on which monitor I drag it onto. At the moment it is sometimes far too small for my 4k monitor, or far too large for my 1080p monitor, meaning I am restricted to using it on the monitor it is 'launched for' at any given time.

Currently double clicking a modified file opens File Compare.
I'd like an option (which I couldn't find) to set what happens when I double click, for example, open in the editor of my choice.

I'm not a GIT 'power user'. I always forget how to do things and I get cofused about what gets merged into what. Some short 'how to' videos would be good for a quick refresher. I really don't have time for lengthy documentation. 

show number (and probably ling to list) how many commits will be pushed to branch (intellij allways shows list of commits that will be pushed to branch)

It would be great to have a view where you could see merges between branches in a git repo.

The use case is the following:

- You have several branches in your project: master, dev, stable, feat-xx, rel-xx, etc...

- You want to see the merge commits between those branches. When they are done, by whom, the commit id, and the option to see what was done since the last merge between two given branches.

- Individual commits do not matter a lot, as they add a lot of noise.

For instance this branching model has an image that would show what the view would look like:

Traditionnally, you rather see an horizontal display in powerpoint slides, but it would be really nice that the tool generates this kind of view

Currently the Windows' client uses a triangle that looks too much like a collapsed tree node.  It would be nicer and easier to see if the entire line was highlighted; maybe a different background color.

I use Ctrl/P several times a day.  It was hard to find when I first started using SmartGit.

I recently switched from Perforce to SmartGit.  I miss not being able to drag a submission over over a different one and display diffs between these two versions.  To be useful, the diff needs to use the external tool that I've selected (e.g. Araxis diff).

The file manager is now just Files. Maybe you should rename the option "Reveal in Nautilus" to a "Reveal in a File Explorer".
