W00t!!  Thanks for the sneak peek.  Looking forward to it!

Any improvements planned for this one in 18.2 (he asks, hopefully... :-) )?

...or "Restart SmartGit".  I think Relaunch is a good clarity replacement.

Instead of "switching back" can SG devs improve the new one with this feature the prior had? I would like that more because I appreciate the improved diffs; I also miss the "stage lines" that worked better of the prior implementation.

Oh duh, of course.  Thank you.  Wish I had thought of trying that!

My original thought was to remove items that didn't match for clarity, but that's a low priority/luxury item.

Thank you!!  That works great!

This is not a feature I have needed a lot, but could use this feature right now. :-)

Oooooooooooo 18.2 is on deck! :-)

I just encountered this problem again yesterday - I forgot to look at the Output view for errors, so kept trying things incorrectly.  I like having the Output view open for regular reviewing/watching progress, therefore SG won't display a popup on errors.  Is there any feature option can add to strongly/interruptively notify user when problems detected?

WFM but OP should comment.
