Single Instance option
The basic idea is to provide an option to force smartgit to a single instance. The basic use case behind this idea is to open git folders with smartgit via context menu out of a file manager (e.g. with ubuntu nautilus file manager right click on git folder and open with smartgit). Over this way the file manager passes the folder path to smartgit and I don't need to add the repository manually in smartgit.
Currently smartgit opens foreach folder that I open over this way an new instance - that's confusing.
Add command to ignore files in only in local repository
Git allows to ignore files only in local repository
Basically add the ability to accomplish the following command through the GUI:
git update-index --assume-unchanged -- file1 file2The opposite command should be also available:
git update-index --no-assume-unchanged [<file> ...]
Retain column order after hiding a column when showing it again
I'd like to suggest that SmartGit retains the position (and also the size) of a column, after it has been hidden, when it is selected again.
E.g. if I hide the 'relative path column' positioned after the name field and then show it again, it is added at the end of the columns. It would be more useful if it would stay where I put it. That way it would be easy to quickly hide columns that are not useful for the current task and are just taking space, and enable them later when they become useful again.
Possibility to change colors/themes
It would be nice to set colors for pages/items/background etc.
one click "fork submodule" to copy and replace remote submod
I.e. fork a remote repo (i.e. github) into a local empty repo (i.e. gitolite). Ability to synchronize down the road.
Track remote branch check box is cleared when I edit the local branch name
When I check out a remote branch on my `fork` remote and change the local branch name from `master-2` to `master-fork`, the "track remote branch" check box is cleared, which is frustrating if I forget to check it again. I guess that is by design, but why?
Improve view by adding tabs behavior
Each view is an independent UI element, however they look like they have single tab in it (it used to provide name of the view). But from usability point it would be nice if they can behave like real tabs. In this case you put few views into single zone and access them by clocking on their "tab" header.
Log: replace filtering options popup with dialog
Currently every time I want to alter the filter options in the Log window I need to tick each option (Author, Committer, File) but after each click, the filter menu disappears, meaning I need to click the filter menu again to bring it up before I move onto the next option to tick.
The filter menu should remain visible until ALL my selections are made.
