Implement keyboard shortcut helper

vkushni 2 days ago updated yesterday at 9:07 a.m. 4

Hello,

Features which help user to learn hot keys becoming more and more popular. This can be seen by increasing popularity of IDE plugins which implement this feature.

So my suggestion is to implement same logic here. When user perform actions not by using keyboard shortcuts new popup should be shown with information about hot key combination which can be used instead.

Cheers,
Volodymyr

Journal/Graph: show newly pulled/fetched commits differently

vkushni 2 weeks ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 weeks ago 1

Hello!

Please consider adding extra coloring to new commits which appear in the Journal after rebase (successful or unsuccessful). Maybe for pull as well.
After rebase its hard to visually track which commits were added to history to review/investigate.
Adding extra coloring will be very helpful. It can be added for some short period or until some operation or permanently.

Thanks,
Volodymyr

Repository > Add folder

vkushni 3 weeks ago updated 3 weeks ago 1

Improve user experience when working with complex multi repository projects.

Terminology:
- git repository container - folder which may be git repository folder or may contain other git repository containers

Use case:
- there is main folder which is git repository container
- structure may contain repeated names

Why existing features does not work:
- Search for repositories - allow you to find for nested git repositories and import them. Not sure it can handle duplicate names (when path is different). Also (what is more important) it flattens the structure cause it does not open folder itself it open separate git repositories within a folder.

Suggested approach:
- When 'Repository > Add directory' is opened - show dialog to open a directory

- Dialog should allow you to select existing folder

- When you click 'OK' selected folder will be added to the list of open repositories
- If selected folder is a git repository it should be treated as regular git repository
- If selected folder is a git repository container - it should be marked as such (with different color or whatever). Same applies to nested folders if they are git repository containers

Enhancement:
- Add 'import as groups' check:
- - When not checked - will open folder as git repository or git repository container (see previous section)
- - When checked - if directory is:
- - - regular git repository - create new group, add git repository to this group
- - - git repository container - add new group, add all nested git repository containers as nested groups, add all nested git repositories to corresponding groups

Alternative:
- Enhance existing "search for repositories" feature allow adding them as a tree as well

Thanks for your attention

s. sorry for not using lists unfortunately your formatter is not good enough and just couldn't format text properly

Remember Branch Coloring, Mergeable Coloring, Varying Coloring

paul moors 1 month ago updated by Daniel Siegl 1 month ago 1

Although it is obviously intended behavior: when selecting one of the options mentioned above it should be remembered or at least be configurable. It is frustrating to change this option each time when you launch smartgit. The fact that it is now intended behavior is a decision that i.m.o. does not focus on the customer.
Having this configurable would make smartgit a more user-friendly.

Re-order Favorite Repos in Main Window

Peter Kellner 2 months ago updated by Thomas Singer 2 months ago 1

I would love to be able to drag and drop my favorite repos so the ones I'm working on at the moment are at the top. It seems drag and drop allows drag, but no drop

Open Index Editor at Selection vs. Top Of File

hostilefork 2 months ago 0

As far as I can tell the Index Editor always opens at the top of the files... regardless of what you're looking at.

But if I'm viewing changes, and see something highlighted red or green... it would be nice if I right clicked there and said "Open in Index Editor" if it opened scrolled to that point.  Otherwise I have to go find it again.

Option to preview pixel art sprite diff (file compare) with crisp (nearest neighbor) scaling on Ctrl + mouse wheel up

Hyper Sonic 3 months ago updated 1 month ago 3

I'm working on a 2D pixel art game and while the diff image panes are useful, the images are very small and require me too zoom with ctrl + mouse wheel up. However this leads to blurry pixel art.

Image 926

Image 927

I'd like an option, either a button or right-click menu, if possible saved per repository (useful for a whole project in pixel art while others are in HD), to scale the image with nearest-neighbour algorithm to show crisp pixel art.
