Hello,

Features which help user to learn hot keys becoming more and more popular. This can be seen by increasing popularity of IDE plugins which implement this feature.

So my suggestion is to implement same logic here. When user perform actions not by using keyboard shortcuts new popup should be shown with information about hot key combination which can be used instead.

Cheers,
Volodymyr

Hello!

Please consider adding extra coloring to new commits which appear in the Journal after rebase (successful or unsuccessful). Maybe for pull as well.
After rebase its hard to visually track which commits were added to history to review/investigate.
Adding extra coloring will be very helpful. It can be added for some short period or until some operation or permanently.

Thanks,
Volodymyr

Improve user experience when working with complex multi repository projects.

Terminology:
- git repository container - folder which may be git repository folder or may contain other git repository containers

Use case:
- there is main folder which is git repository container
- structure may contain repeated names

Why existing features does not work:
- Search for repositories - allow you to find for nested git repositories and import them. Not sure it can handle duplicate names (when path is different). Also (what is more important) it flattens the structure cause it does not open folder itself it open separate git repositories within a folder.

Suggested approach:
- When 'Repository > Add directory' is opened - show dialog to open a directory

- Dialog should allow you to select existing folder

- When you click 'OK' selected folder will be added to the list of open repositories
- If selected folder is a git repository it should be treated as regular git repository
- If selected folder is a git repository container - it should be marked as such (with different color or whatever). Same applies to nested folders if they are git repository containers

Enhancement:
- Add 'import as groups' check:
- - When not checked - will open folder as git repository or git repository container (see previous section)
- - When checked - if directory is:
- - - regular git repository - create new group, add git repository to this group
- - - git repository container - add new group, add all nested git repository containers as nested groups, add all nested git repositories to corresponding groups

Alternative:
- Enhance existing "search for repositories" feature allow adding them as a tree as well

Thanks for your attention

s. sorry for not using lists unfortunately your formatter is not good enough and just couldn't format text properly

Although it is obviously intended behavior: when selecting one of the options mentioned above it should be remembered or at least be configurable. It is frustrating to change this option each time when you launch smartgit. The fact that it is now intended behavior is a decision that i.m.o. does not focus on the customer.
Having this configurable would make smartgit a more user-friendly.

I would love to be able to drag and drop my favorite repos so the ones I'm working on at the moment are at the top. It seems drag and drop allows drag, but no drop

As far as I can tell the Index Editor always opens at the top of the files... regardless of what you're looking at.

But if I'm viewing changes, and see something highlighted red or green... it would be nice if I right clicked there and said "Open in Index Editor" if it opened scrolled to that point.  Otherwise I have to go find it again.

I'm working on a 2D pixel art game and while the diff image panes are useful, the images are very small and require me too zoom with ctrl + mouse wheel up. However this leads to blurry pixel art.

I'd like an option, either a button or right-click menu, if possible saved per repository (useful for a whole project in pixel art while others are in HD), to scale the image with nearest-neighbour algorithm to show crisp pixel art.

When comparing changes or doing merge between two branches, it's important to see the name of the branch on left / right panels. For external diff tools there are existing  lefTitle / rightTitle parameters that can be passed to an external diff tool,

but they show HEAD and Index when comparing local changes. Instead of that I would like to see current git branch name.

I had an issue with a new customer's project where there were pre-commit hooks that needed the login shell to run.

As such I was unable to commit the change via smartgit and had to commit via the command line git.

What was the hook?  An eslint operation that needed the nvm default nodejs for the project (18) as that's how we manage node versions.

Since the login shell was not invoked, nvm didn't setup its default version, and thus the pre-commit hook failed.

I often have multiple SmartGit windows open for various projects. Being able to find which window I am looking for is currently a bit difficult since they are all called "SmartGit <version>". Previously the number of open repos was listed in the Title Bar but this has been removed for a while now. 

I would like the ability to change the name shown in the title bar (even if I need to customise it manually). Ideally I would like SmartGit to do some of this automatically (though I understand this can be a difficult problem, especially when multiple repos are open). 

Given the following structure

<root>
  + Folder1
    + SubFolder1
      + SubSubFolder1
        - Repo1
        - Repo2
    + SubFolder2
      + SubSubFolder2
        - Repo3
        - Repo4
  + Folder2
    + SubFolder1
      + SubSubFolder1
        - Repo5
        - Repo6
    + SubFolder2
      + SubSubFolder1
        - Repo7
        - Repo8
      - Repo9
    - Repo10
  - Repo 11

Some possibilities I have thought of (using the above):

1. Only one repo open - Name of the repo with the folder containing it after:
   1. Repo1: "Repo1 in Folder1\SubFolder1\SubSubFolder1"
   2. Repo9: "Repo9 in Folder2\SubFolder2"
   3. Repo11: "Repo11"    (since it is in root, i.e. not in folder)
2. Multiple Repos - Find the highest level folder that contains all the repos and use that folder in the title with the number of open repos:
   1. If Repo1-2 are open: "SubSubFolder1 in Folder1\SubFolder1 (2 Repos)"
   2. If Repo1-4 are open: "SubFolder1 in Folder1 (4 Repos)"
   3. If Repo1, Repo2 are open: "SubFolder1 in Folder1 (2 Repos)"
   4. If Repo1-11 are open: "11 Repos"
   5. If Repo1, Repo3, Repo10 are open: "3 Repos"
   6. If Repo5, Repo9, Repo10 are open: "Folder2 (3 Repos)"

Ideally I would like this to be first in the title bar to make navigating from the taskbar (or alt tab) easier, "<Custom Name> - SmartGit <version>", e.g. "Repo9 in Folder2\SubFolder2 - SmartGit 24.1"

Hopefully I have gotten the idea of what I want across. Note that I use the "Working tree (file oriented)" view primarily and the above proposal is with that in mind so I am not sure of the ramifications for the Standard or Log graph views (though I presume something similar could be done there, maybe with the focused tab/log added as well).
