Activate feature "Edit in Index Editor" in Working Tree for Untracked files
This feature is already exists and now it is disabled for untracked files but what if I need to do a small change right here in the window without switching to editor.
Add hotkeys for existing features
Add hotkey for feature "Edit in Index Editor" in Changes-window in main window of an application
Now there is no hotkey for this feature
Ideally, all the features (or most of them) should be assignable for hotkeys (even withoud default hotkey but with ability to assign it in preferences). It simplifies working with any application.
Another frequently used hotkey is hotkey to "Open in Explorer" for "Repositories" panel.
Add option to start powershell as second option to the "Open in Terminal" on Windows
Would be nice to have that on Windows (Linux should be supported as well, but not really needed, I guess).
Cmd is old and not convenient anymore for the commands to run.
I have tried several approaches to add it the same way as cmd, but the window with terminal simply won't show up.
Add option to hide old commits in graph
For example, you have a repo with huge amount of commits made during ~5-10 year but every working day you only need commits made for the last 1-3 months.
Each time you open SmartGit it has to load all commits for 10 years, keep it in memory constantly, show a graph...
It increases RAM consumption and overwhelms the user with excessive information that will never or very rarely be used.
I suggest to add an option "show commits for the last N-days (months, years)" so that all old commits that are out of range will be hidden (will not be loaded during application startup).
If a user occasionally wants to see these commits he can click "show more" at the place of the oldest commit to load more commits or all of them.
dashboard
Please add a dashboard containing all the Git repositories, with the repositories containing pending changes marked in a different color.
Rebase Interactive: parallelize using multi-threading.
I am working on a rather large PR (refactoring entire code base for code style) – I started out with upwards of 800 commits. In order to properly squash them down to ~50 thematically sorted commits, I had to rebase interactively numerous times. I had to change my workflow substantially once I noticed that each of these operations required upwards of five minutes. The reason became apparent when I checked the load on the CPU: the git process was using only one process. Now I don't know if this is even within Syntevo's hand to change, but I love your client (it also didn't let me down with this very complex pull-request) and trust that you would do what you can to make it better :)
Keep up the good work!

Standard window: display and work with remotes
In the file-oriented view I can clearly see which remotes I have, modify them and configure them. Sometimes I need to checkout branches from more than one remote and have the ability to do something like "set remote".
With the new "standard workflow", these features have completely disappeared, and even though I like the new workflow, especially the tabs for each repository, I'm now forced to use the old file-based view.
Please fix this.
cherry-pick from multi-commit/squashed view
With "multi-commit/squashed view", I mean the entries in the Files tab when two commits of a branch are selected. The files are given with their cumulative changes. Please edit the header with the correct term.
RFE: Allow to cherry-pick from this cumulative view. In detail, that would be
- create a new temporary local branch for the later of the two selected commits
- squash the commits between the two
- cherry-pick the selected files as it is implemented currently for single commits
- delete the temporary branch
Support full management of groups in the Standard Working view new tab window
Please add support for full management of groups (folders) in the Standard Working view new tab window. Looks like I only have the option to remove a group or move to another group.
I need to be able to create, delete, rename, and move groups in the Standard Working view.
SmartGit 23.1 Preview 9 - Add option to restore repo directory path in title bar
Please add option to restore repo directory path in title bar. The repo directory path is included in the title bar in SmartGit 22.1.6.
I work with multiple workspaces and some of those workspaces include the same repos. It helps to see the repo path in the title bar to quickly identify which workspace I'm working in.
