Re-order Favorite Repos in Main Window
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
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
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.
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.

add new parameter "current git branch name" to be used with external diff tool to see branch name when making merge
When comparing changes or doing merge between two branches, it's important to see the name of the branch on left / right panels. For external diff tools there are existing lefTitle / rightTitle parameters that can be passed to an external diff tool,
but they show HEAD and Index when comparing local changes. Instead of that I would like to see current git branch name.

MacOS - use login shell (with profile) to run all Git commands
I had an issue with a new customer's project where there were pre-commit hooks that needed the login shell to run.
As such I was unable to commit the change via smartgit and had to commit via the command line git.
What was the hook? An eslint operation that needed the nvm default nodejs for the project (18) as that's how we manage node versions.
Since the login shell was not invoked, nvm didn't setup its default version, and thus the pre-commit hook failed.

I tried what Thomas sugested - I hope this helps.
From zsh you can open SmartGit via:
open -n /Applications/SmartGit.app

Options for main window title bar
I often have multiple SmartGit windows open for various projects. Being able to find which window I am looking for is currently a bit difficult since they are all called "SmartGit <version>". Previously the number of open repos was listed in the Title Bar but this has been removed for a while now.
I would like the ability to change the name shown in the title bar (even if I need to customise it manually). Ideally I would like SmartGit to do some of this automatically (though I understand this can be a difficult problem, especially when multiple repos are open).
Given the following structure
<root> + Folder1 + SubFolder1 + SubSubFolder1 - Repo1 - Repo2 + SubFolder2 + SubSubFolder2 - Repo3 - Repo4 + Folder2 + SubFolder1 + SubSubFolder1 - Repo5 - Repo6 + SubFolder2 + SubSubFolder1 - Repo7 - Repo8 - Repo9 - Repo10 - Repo 11
Some possibilities I have thought of (using the above):
- Only one repo open - Name of the repo with the folder containing it after:
- Repo1: "Repo1 in Folder1\SubFolder1\SubSubFolder1"
- Repo9: "Repo9 in Folder2\SubFolder2"
- Repo11: "Repo11" (since it is in root, i.e. not in folder)
- Multiple Repos - Find the highest level folder that contains all the repos and use that folder in the title with the number of open repos:
- If Repo1-2 are open: "SubSubFolder1 in Folder1\SubFolder1 (2 Repos)"
- If Repo1-4 are open: "SubFolder1 in Folder1 (4 Repos)"
- If Repo1, Repo2 are open: "SubFolder1 in Folder1 (2 Repos)"
- If Repo1-11 are open: "11 Repos"
- If Repo1, Repo3, Repo10 are open: "3 Repos"
- If Repo5, Repo9, Repo10 are open: "Folder2 (3 Repos)"
Ideally I would like this to be first in the title bar to make navigating from the taskbar (or alt tab) easier, "<Custom Name> - SmartGit <version>", e.g. "Repo9 in Folder2\SubFolder2 - SmartGit 24.1"
Hopefully I have gotten the idea of what I want across. Note that I use the "Working tree (file oriented)" view primarily and the above proposal is with that in mind so I am not sure of the ramifications for the Standard or Log graph views (though I presume something similar could be done there, maybe with the focused tab/log added as well).

Request for improving Git Depth setting explanation in Clone dialog
In the current clone dialog, the Git clone depth option setting is not intuitive to find.
Specifically:
1. The depth setting is hidden when "Fetch all Heads and Tags" is checked
2. To set the depth, users need to uncheck "Fetch all Heads and Tags" and select a specific branch
Improvement suggestions:
Always display the depth setting field with the following UI elements:
* Gray out the depth setting field when "Fetch all Heads and Tags" is selected
* Add an information icon (ℹ) next to the grayed-out depth setting field
* Show the following tooltip when hovering over the information icon: "To set clone depth, please uncheck 'Fetch all Heads and Tags' "
Benefits:
* Makes the existence of depth setting visually clear
* Provides intuitive understanding of why the setting is disabled and how to enable it
* Improves user experience and potentially reduces support inquiries about the setting
