Customizable icons for repository groups

Олександр Шкурат 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 1

It would be great to make it possible for repository group icons to be either with customizable colors or with customizable icon images (from a predefined set of icons for instance)

So, it would make the tree of repositories easier readable and navigable.

Edit Message dialog: add option 'Signed-off-by' signature

andrewleech 2 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 years ago 0

Hi, I contribute to a few projects that require the "Signed-off-by:" footer in the commit message. 

I'm forever forgetting to add it manually though, so have to ammend commit messages to add it, force push, etc.

While I know there's an option to add this in the Local->Commit dialog box, I always use the Commit pane in the main window which doesn't expose this option.

Also, the "Edit commit message" dialog box also does not have an option for this, and it's tedious to type it manually (without typos).

It would be great if there was a per-project setting to always add this (similar / next to to the options to add GPG signing to commits)

Separately, it'd be handy if the checkbox to add this was also added to the "Edit commit message" dialog.

Cheers,

Andrew

Visually distinguish commits with submodule changes in parent project

Andrew Gilchrist 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 1

In the log, if a commit includes a submodule pointer commit, tag with the submodule name and use a different symbol or other graphical representation on the graph.

Use the Changes pane to compare separate files

Iulian Onofrei 2 years ago 0

In the Log window, when you select 2 separate files from the same commit, the Changes pane could show the diff between them, instead of showing nothing.


This means that:
• the Changes pane won't be useless in this case, and that
• this would be like a quicker version of the Show Changes context menu item.

Word navigation (ctrl+left/right): do not stop before and after every space

L Nguyen Huu 2 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 1 year ago 11

It seems that in recent version of SmartGit, word navigation stops before and after every space.

This means that if you have a commit message "Added level 2" with the caret after 2, you need to press Ctrl+Left 3 times to go before "level".

I would rather have the caret skip any space before the next word in the pressed direction, as in other editors, so you press Ctrl+Left/Right as many times as there are words to skip.

In general, such editors also skip multiple spaces before a word. Although YMMV and you may want not to skip if there are 2+ spaces or more. Personally I'd just skip them and let the user go back with Ctrl+Left then Ctrl+Right, or reversely.

Generally speaking, if the user still wants to stop at the other boundary of the word, they can always play with Left/Right and Ctrl+Left/Right for an extra adjustment, it shouldn't take more than one extra input.

Change View: Show AVIF and WEBP image previews, like PNG, JPG, and GIF

Michael Ryan 2 years ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 years ago 1

AVIF and WEBP are modern image formats that are gaining in popularity. It would be nice to be able to preview the selected images in the SmartGit Changes view prior to committing. Actual image diffs would be great, but just being able to view the image would help a lot.

Log/WT: improve combination of branch renaming w.r.t. branch on origin and tracked branch

uscholz 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 2

When renaming a local branch, it often needs to be pushed to origin under that name and the tracked branch of the local one needs to be set to the new one on origin with that name.

That all needs a lot of clicks and typing in the new branch name by hand. I would propose to extend the Push To window by

- a third bullet point (besides Tracked or matching branch and Custom Ref): "To branch with same name as the one to be pushed"

- another option (besides Force pushing): "Set tracked branch to selected branch on origin (Push To target)"

I hope you'll find a better wording for these points.

Log: show full string of "Relative Directory" using tooltip

MATSUDA Takashi 2 years ago 0

I would like to be able to quickly view the contents of columns with long strings such as "Relative Directory" by using tooltips. It is difficult to see the contents without widening the column.
