Open remote repository in Browser
Please add to context menu on Repository new command: "Open origin path in browser".
Now I should every time copy manually this path from origin settings to browser adress filed
GitHub: checkbox to automatically fetch pull requests when syncing GitHub
I hate having to fetch pull requests manually. I don't have a lot and I'd like SmartGit to automatically fetch them when I sync with GitHub. (Which should also happen periodically automatically.
Inactive window tabs should not flip to the right side of the docking area
With a recent update, I see that when a docking area has multiple windows, and the active window tab has an inactive window tab to the right, that tab is now right-aligned. This makes switching among overlapping windows considerably more difficult. Active or inactive, window tabs should stay in roughly the same place.
Stage: should be applicable for untracked directories
I was in communication with Syntevo support regarding the ability to collapse folders. And through the use cases we discussed, one of the reasons I cited why collapsing would be helpful is the ability to stage a folder. The example is you have a folder with sub folders and files. There are a large number of files. You are determining which folders and files you want. But because there is no collapsing, there is a lot of clutter.
More importantly and the basis of the Header is that if you want to Stage a folder and all it's contents, there is no easy means to do this. In the Repository view, right click does not give an option to Stage. The tool bar for Stage is also dimmed. The only way to do this is to select all of the files in the File view.
Support suggested I open a RFE for this.
Files view: allow somehow to open the Log window for a submodule repository
Allow somehow to open the log window for that repository from Files view, instead of having to scroll down up to the repository on the Repositories view, and hit to show the log window:
i..e, if I hit the LSP on the Files window, and hit the Log button, it will open a Log Window for the changes on the submodule head pointer, but most times, I am not interested in seeing that. Instead, I would prefer to open the Log Window for the git history of the selected submodule, as happens when hitting the LSP submodule on the Repositories view and hitting the log button.
Indeed, the current behavior for the log button on the Files view is correct, when hitting one submodule. Then, this request would be for some alternate menu entry/button or low level property to allow seeing the selected submodule history instead of the submodule head pointer changes.
This new option could be added here:
When selecting a git submodule and I hit `Log -> Log Repository`, it did not opened the Log Window with submodule, but the Log Window with the parent repository history.
Log graph: show the commiter email on the tooltip when hovering the committer name
If I would like to know the commiter email, while browsing the git history, I have to select the option `Show Full Author With Email`:
But this option takes too much space as explained for big commiter names on:
https://smartgit.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/930-allow-to-recude-the-name-column-on-log-window
Then, instead of having to use the option `Show Full Author With Email` to know the commiter email, I should be able to see it just by hovering the commit name. Then, the commiter email would show up with his full name on the showed tooltip:
Allow to recude the name column on Log Window
There are some folks with a very big name, and my screen is not wide enough to correctly hold all the panels.
On this image, I would like to recude the size of the "Commiter Name" to the red marked line. When reducing the column, the commiter name would be cut and ellipsis would be added `...`
If someone would like to see the full name, they could just houver the name with the mouse arrow, and a tooltip would show up with the full name, as it currently does:
This is the same issue as: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/smartgit/QHYEVvJrl6Y
There, the problem is with the Select Commit Message dialog. Here it is with the Log Window.
There the fix is easy because I can enlarge enough the Commit Dialog Window, but with the Log Window, there are several other panels on both sides which are going to lose precious space if I enlarge the "Commits" view, just because there are some folks with very large names on the commit history.
