Looks like great idea.

Please make it optional because current approach is fine with me.

Alternatively staged files could have different color or background and there could be possibility to sort Files pane by several columns.

For me the main part of main SmartGit window is Changes pane. So it have to be biggest/widest one and in side-by-side-diff mode. Personally I do not like very much SourceTree UI design that is why I pay for SmartGit. :)

I always use auto-hiding panes in Visual Studio so adding them to SmartGit could be more productive than integrating Log window into main one IMHO.

Great. Thanks.

Having it in UI looks much better for me.

Moreover, may be this option could be combined with https://smartgit.userecho.com/topics/157 so if some number set to 0 it means that corresponding commit category have not to be displayed at all?

Thanks for pointing how to change this magic number. And yes, I've just voted for the 256 ticket because system properties is not the best place for UI options IMHO.

I've also added a comment to 256 to combine it with this ticket - if some number set to 0 it means that corresponding commit category have not be displayed at all? Then we all should be happy I hope! :)

BTW, spending some time with available Journal options I made it somewhat more usable (for me personally) - it show commits of current checked out branch only. But why it shows 10 only commits? The branch contains more of them and there have to be a way to show more. Yet another missing option?

The only and simple IMHO thing this ticket asks for is adding an option to show not yet pushed local commits (if there are any) ONLY as it was with Outgoing pane. No one asked to kill Journal pane. Just add the option. :) Please! :)

Agreed. New Journal is significantly less convenient than old plain Outgoing tab. So there MUST be the option. The sooner the better.

I hope that it will be optional.
