Add a copy Full commit data contextual menu entry
I would be nice to have an option in the contextual menu of a commit to copy the "Full commit data", similar the "copy to clipboard" -> "Full data" feature in Tortoise Git (and Tortoise SVN).
Open multiple repositories in explorer
Sometimes I want to open multiple repos (6-15) in windows explorer from the Repository view in the LogGraph view. Therefore I have to right click each one and say "Open in Explorer". It would be nice if that option would also be shown if you select multiple repos which would then of course open also multiple explorer instances.
Copy repository group name by Ctrl+C
Now, pressing Ctrl+C on repository group in Repositories windows has no effect.
Ability to "star" a branch
Ability to visualy separate branch(es) in the branches tree. Like favorite or star whatever you want to call it. I want to have a short list where its easy to pick from
Missing smart feature: optional automatic background-check: Check all Repositories for changes
Hello
I miss a smart feature:
If you work in several projects, it is very tedious and time-consuming SmartGit to check in whether there have been changes in one of the repositories: you have to select and check each one manually.
It would be great if you could activate a SmartGit background check for Repositoeries that:
- Adjustable e.g. every 60 minutes
- Each repository checks whether:
- Local changes have been made
- There have been changes on the git server
- The authentication is still OK
- (Annoying Editor: this is 4.)
The recorded information is then displayed for each repo
Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas
Feature branch commit amend by default
When I work on a feature branch, I always amend a single commit:
- I don't want to have to deal with commit messages each time I push a small change to my feature branch
- In the end, when I merge my feature branch, all commits are squashed to a single one, so the commit messages are lost
Each time I commit, I need to check the "amend" checkbox in the commit dialog.
I would like to have an option "Always amend commit on a feature branch", so this checkbox would always be checked.
It could be turned off by default.
Thank you, I love your product :)
Support hosting providers based on Gogs

Have line spacing options (e.g. 100% 125%, 150%) for code/text, graph, repository, etc. views
Currently, all the views are tighty packed with text and hard to read. A bit more line spacing might go a long way of making information more readable. Using a slightly smaller font with that still allows for the same amount of information to be on screen.
Standard window: Expand/collapse merge nodes in all branches view
I just discovered the ability to expand & collapse merge nodes in the "Only current branch" log view, and I love it, thanks!
And now I really wish I had that feature in the "all branches" mode also. Unlike the "only current branch" mode, it would default to expanded as today, but allow merges to be collapsed.
SmartSynchronize, File Manager - show tooltip for truncated paths
Dear SyntEvo,
I would like to express my appreciation for SmartSynchronize. While I understand it is foremost a diff tool, for me, it has become an indispensable file manager in my daily workflow on Linux. SmartSynchronize (as a file manager) strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and functionality.
However, I've encountered an issue that I believe could enhance the user experience. The navigation bar struggles to handle long paths effectively. Navigating through extensive directory structures is a routine part a programmer's job. Unfortunately, the current design falls short when dealing with paths like:
/build/workdirs/projname-branch-server-native-gcc11-linux-libgen-customer/src/module/submodule/dir/subdir
When I delve into deeper directories like module/submodule, the navigation bar truncates crucial parts of the path, forcing me to rely on memory to recall my location (twice - there are two panels).

To address this issue, I propose two potential solutions:
- to display the end portion of the path instead of its beginning, offering a clearer indication of the current directory; and
- to mplementing a tooltip feature that provides the complete path when hovering over truncated segments.
Combining both approaches would undoubtedly provide the optimal solution. Nothing beats a good tooltip, though. ;-)
Once again, thank you for your attention to this matter and for the continued development of SmartSynchronize.
Best regards,
Peter
