This is my largest usability problem with SmartGit - the inability to additively open repos and the inability to change repo double-click behavior.

1. I often have two dozen repos open - large systems organized into multiple repos.  Opening the needed repos isn't hard, but the current limitations make it an irritating time waster having to select them in same and different groups to open.

2. I sometimes accidentally double clicked a repo name and it magically closes all of them except the clicked one.  Then I have to re-do the opening...

I want a setting to choose whether double-click opens exclusively or additively.

If Syntevo is that worried about SG performance with many repos open (I'm not, I have nearly 30 open with no problem), then pop up a dialog for some large open repo amount stating "Note: many open repos may cause performance problems".

Another useful menu option on a selected branch is "Copy with Repo Name" to have both in one copy.

Agreed - a menu option with keyboard shortcut is ideal way to reformat.  This is also similar to Emac's reflow feature.

Awesome!!  On and working, thank you very much as usual!  :)

> Assumption here is that filtering for the file name (and especially content) is a rare event.

lol, file name is the one I search with the most, followed by content!  I would appreciate the option to have them always on, thank you.

FWIW, I note no slowness searching with file name.  Perhaps it is machine dependent (mine is a good one).

The new filtering UI (moved from pull down list to the banner header) is fantastic change; clearer, easier.

Relating to this request, the setting choices do not persist across restarts.  Is that deliberate or can they persist?

The Repositories repo context menu has:

• Open Repository
• Open Repository in New Window

Both open the selected repository only.  My simple request is a new context menu item to open the selected repo and keep the others open, having 3 open options:

• Open Repository Only
• Open Repository Additively (or "Open Repository with Others" or other wording)
• Open Repository Only in New Window

The only time I've seen SG not reopen last repos on startup is after an install upgrade - usually it reopens them but occasionally it starts with no open repos.

Many times per day I do an action on all repos in a group, especially pull. Push sometimes. Rebase the current branch to master. While some of my groups have only a few repos, most of my groups have 15-25 repos.

I regularly use the "Open Repository in New Window" on a group feature. Having SG features that work on repo groups just as they do on a single group would greatly lessen the hassle of manually selecting many repos in a group. This particularly includes push/pull.
