Log: custom tools should work on Files (as in the main window)
Tools configured in the Preferences should work on the Log's File view in a similar way as in the main window
Changes view: show changed file permissions
Current Behavior:
SmartGit’s Changes pane currently displays the unchanged file content twice when only a file’s permissions have changed. However, it does not show the actual mode difference (e.g., 100644 → 100755), making it difficult to audit permission changes without switching to external tools like the Git CLI.
Proposed Enhancement:
Display the exact file mode change inline in the Changes pane, such as:
File mode changed: 100644 → 100755
This should appear clearly above or alongside the diff view when no content changes are present.
Benefits:
- Improves visibility of non-content changes
- Helps developers catch unintended permission toggles
- Reduces reliance on Git CLI for metadata inspection
- Enhances trust and transparency in cross-platform workflows
Update the color contrast for search text
Currently the color contrast between the searched text and the background for added content is really bad and thus it took me 2 minutes just to find where the `next find` is pointing at. Please update this to take into account the background color so it "pops" at me and tell me where to look at.
Conflict Resolver: another view on conflicts
The only thing that i find often inconvenient in SmartGit - the way conflicts are displayed and handled in Conflict Resolver.
SmartGit view:
JetBrains GitClient view:
The later has much more clear (and less scaring :) LOL) picture of the conflicts.
Would be perfect if we are able to switch to yet another view on the conflicts that would be similar to the one on the second screenshot!
Thank you!
Create GitHub pull request also from Worktree Window
At the moment it is only possible to create a GitHub pull request from the log window. Please also implement this option in the working tree window
Branches view: show local branches first
In the branches section, add the option to sort all local branches to the top of the list.
Changes view: remember "Ignore Whitespace" option also for local files
When traversing changes either in working tree or stage, SmartGit resets "Ignore Whitespace" toggle after switch to next file back to default state which is untoggled.
This is to emphasise not missing unexpected or other kind of important w/s changes.
However from time to time one would need to traverse files quickly, to skim through changes at glance which is often not possible when w/s are highlighted.
I'm unsure how to approach the solution. E.g.: low lever setting for reset behavior, put it to hamburger menu of diff window, diff setting, double click on toggle would make it permanent, …
