Improve "Squash" dialog consistency when executed in different places
When I do a Squash from the Journal Window, I get to choose the Authorship. But when I squash from the Interactive Rebase dialog, I only get to edit the commit message.
It would be nice to be consistent. For now, I always end the Interactive Rebase first, then go back to Journal to squash them.
Log: "Working Tree" Toolbar button in Log Windows for more obvious/easier navigation
I very often find myself searching through all the opened SmartGit windows. Although I understand why it is done this way, to me, this is a major weakness of the whole SmartGit workflow (always hunting for windows).
I only very recently discovered the "Open Working Tree" option in the "Repository" menu which is a nice helper, but it is not obvious to discover and being buried in a menu makes it less optimal for navigating "back". I tried to customize the toolbar on Log windows to add this button, but there does not seem to be a way to do that.
Better Key-Mapping for Conflict Solver window
The keys that are used in the merge window are not ergonomic. The key mapping that is using by win-merge are very cool.
ALT + down: next
ALT + right: take left
ALT + left: take right

Add stash push for stashing a subset of changed files
Hello,
In the commad line you can stash a subset of changed files with:
git stash push <path-to-file>
This is useful, e.g.
- to see if changes in them are necessary for a commit
- to exclude them from a commit (sometimes quicker than staging)
- to quickly compare behaviour with and without changes in the files
- to determine if these changes caused a bug
etc.
Automaticly add commit message from latest in log
Istead of disabling commit buttons, would be much convinient to have commit message that you previsly typed.
(Select button is good but its also too complicated)
Support for hg evolve extension
Support for hg evolve extension. Experimental support exists on bitbucket cloud. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/hg-evolve
Implement custom (external) commands which can be accessible from menu or tool bar
some times we have to execute some special command (call some scripts and etc.). It will be not bad to call it by pressing one button instead of opening terminal and writing there the full command.
Support floating windows/tabs.
I'd like to be able to float, e.g., the diff tab so I can easily toss that on another monitor.
I don't want to open a full diff window because that is not tied to my active selection in the main SmartGit window.
Set different encoding for each file.
We have files in one repository, which are encoded in several different encodings. It would be great if we had possibility to switch their encoding setting for each file like in Eclipse.
Perhaps, encoding could also be detected automatically.
More distinct (colored) file statuses
In the past, I got used to the CLI git command line interface. What I like about it is that all staged files are shown in green (no matter if they were added with 'git add', 'git mv' or some other way) and all modified and untracked (non-staged) files are shown in red. This is very convenient, as one can easily see what content is stored in the Git index (stage) and what changes are made in the file system only. Switching to SmartGit, I miss these colors. I need to focus my attention of the text next to file names and actually "read" it ("Staged", "Modified", etc.)
My suggestion is that Syntevo could add an option to show the files in the "Files" view more colorful. Or, even better, to have colorful backgrounds? Or, probably, to make the icons left to the file names to use better colors? Or make the icons more distinct one from another, in general.
