See Which Files are Awaiting Upgrade

2012-02-22T03:49:38-08:00

Simon Norris suggested:
This may reflect our somewhat primitive use of SVN but could we please, as well as the 'All', 'Changed', 'Modified' tabs, have a tab/icon to show files with updates waiting in the repository? Currently, in each working copy, you get a count of updated files but now way of checking what you might be brining into a currently functioning (but dated) environment. It would really help with regression testing.

Fix SVN+SSH access in Cornerstone v2.7

2012-02-15T06:48:01-08:00

David suggested:
After I updated to version 2.7, I was no longer able to connect via svn+ssh to my SVN(version1.6) repository. But I can still connect from the terminal using svn v1.6.16

Let me change font size in commit log message window [updated]

2012-02-09T06:29:32-08:00

It's really really small and I spend 50% of my time writing logs. Either add a setting for it somewhere in prefs or just use the setting for diffs. I'd still want them seperate cause i want my logs to be really big whereas diffs are useful small cause you can see more. Either way please do something, its hard to read.

revert commit [updated]

2012-02-09T06:26:32-08:00

Turtoisesvn supports a cool, but simple feature, revert commit. Basically a one liner using svn: svn merge -c -xx .

Add "Update before commit" feature [updated]

2012-02-09T06:25:45-08:00

Everyone knows you should svn up before committing, but I ALWAYS forget to. It would be such an enormous help if you could add a feature to svn up before committing. Once it has updated, if there are changes, it should prompt if you want to review the changes first or continue committing. I think this is one of those features nobody realizes they need until they use it and it would really be a great selling point against that Versions garbage. Thank you!

column view support - down with the flippy triangle [updated]

2012-02-09T06:25:14-08:00

I am sure it's a major undertaking, but flippy triangles are crappy. Column view for the main window would be superior.

PCate said:

I would love to have a column and list view as well. I can navigate so much faster in column view

Built-in file merge tool [updated]

2012-02-07T02:11:11-08:00

Would be very handy if it was possible to resolve file conflicts directly in the application window. Like in NetBeans for example: http://www.netbeans.org/images/v6/5/screenshots/cvs-diff.png

Remove from version control without deleting locally [updated]

2012-02-06T05:44:48-08:00

When I select "Delete", it not only will mark an item as deleted, but will delete it locally when committed. It would be nice to have an option, either as a separate menu item next to 'Delete', or as a dialog when deleting, to "Just remove from version control and don't delete locally, OR Also delete locally".

Steven said:

I second this feature request.

svn 1.7 support [updated]

2012-02-06T05:38:15-08:00

Do you plan in NEAR Future to support svn 1.7.x ?

Mathias Kühn said:

We're working with Windows VMs and these tools get updated to 1.7 and thereby also the working copies, breaking the ability to work on these directories with CornerStone!! An upgrade is highly appreciated!!

Support the keep-local flag for the delete command

2012-01-31T10:57:16-08:00

Chris Blackwell suggested:

Download log automatically

2012-01-27T09:58:17-08:00

Matt suggested:
Add an option to automatically download logs when updating. With large projects like we have (Several hundred - several thousand) commits to various projects in the svn, viewing the log entries of a file can take 15-20 minutes downloading the log files for every commit up to the latest. It would be nice to have an option to just download the logs when updating the working copy.

add "next file" "previous file" shortcut when comparing files [updated]

2012-01-20T14:25:57-08:00

when you edit several files and you want to review each one before committing having a keyboard that allows you to move to the next / previous file would be handy (and much appreciated)

Fixed-width font selection honored for SVN log and commit comment

2012-01-12T07:43:23-08:00

Ron Stewart suggested:
I would like to see my fixed-width font selection from "Preferences > General" honored for use in displaying the SVN log and for use in composing commit comments. As far as I can tell, the only place it seems to be used is in displaying changes between versions.

Preview incoming updates

Searching subversion history (full text)

2011-12-06T13:46:48-08:00

Joris de Beer suggested:
Is there a way to perform a full text search of a subversion repository, including all the history? For example, I've written a feature that I used somewhere, but then it wasn't needed, so I svn rm'd the files, but now I need to find it again to use it for something else. The svn log probably says something like "removed unused stuff", and there's loads of checkins like that.

Does anyone have an Applescript that will send an e-mail with the most recent log posting?

2011-11-29T13:30:55-08:00

madscatt suggested:
I can send the e-mail via applescript, by my attempts to call a shell script that pastes the last log item to the clipboard and use this as the body of the message fails. By itself, the bash script supplied by Cornerstone does send it to the clipboard ... putting it all together isn't working for me. Does anyone have a script that they can post?

Colorized A/D/C/U Icons When Updating

2011-11-28T12:39:58-08:00

Clark Kromenaker suggested:
When updating my working copies, it is sometimes difficult to see in the transcript view whether the files being modified are added, deleted, conflicted, or updated because all the icons are grey. It would be cool to see at a glance whether I have any conflicts as the working copy is being updated. Maybe added is green, deleted is red, conflicted is yellow, update is blue? Something like that?

Enable Compare with other Branches, Tags or Files [updated]

2011-11-18T06:26:54-08:00

Allow the built in compare tool to select any file using the repositories, this would allow the compare of branches, tags, other files or repositories.

Theo Briscoe said:

I should be able to compare and entire directory.

Automatically check out into correct local directory.

2011-11-02T10:37:34-07:00

curiousaaron suggested:
If you have a working copy of a repository's root, checking out a directory (or file) within it should not ask you to choose the location... it should automatically place it in the correct subdirectory (and create it if needed).

Allow file checkout on double-click in repository. [updated]

2011-11-02T10:23:09-07:00

Double clicking a file that is not checked out should first check it out into the corresponding path within your working copy directory, then open the working copy of that file.

Phil said:

Yes please! This would be most helpful.

Allow checking out of the entire folder structure only, without files. [updated]

2011-11-02T10:22:21-07:00

To save time, it would be nice to browse the entire contents of a checked out repository without having to check out file contents. That way, I can edit files as i need them without having to wait for the entire repository to download.

Phil said:

This is almost essential at our company which deals with a large amount of binary files on a daily basis.

Make diff non-modal (as in Tower)

2011-10-31T09:38:34-07:00

Julian suggested:
I switch between Cornerstone and Git-Tower depending on what my clients use. I generally like the layout of Cornerstone, but diffing feels so tedious- it just doesn't feel natural to go through all the changes before committing them. I would much rather have the "diff" button open a panel below the bottom toolbar that *stays* open while I select different files. So if you wanted to look at what you changed, you could just keep it open and select one file after another. This would be especially useful in the "Changed" view.

commit [updated]

2011-10-23T01:56:53-07:00

When doing a commit, I'd like Cornerstone to propose the name of file(s) which are subject to the commit when typing comment. See how Tortoise acts: when typing the comment and the name of a file being committed, after the first few characters, Tortoise expands these to the name. It works like syntax completion but now for filenames.

Clemens said:

I often use filenames in my comment, especially when multiple files are subject to the commit action. So filename completion would be handy.

Allow externals to be included in a commit, rather than having to commit them separately

2011-10-19T13:28:51-07:00

Chris Blackwell suggested:
Tortoise does this and it's handy. If I've made changes in an external and in the parent code which need to go together, it would be nice to only have to commit from the parent and have it automatically add the commits from the external, rather than doing it in two (or as often in my case, five) steps.

Get to History View for a file from Transcript View [updated]

2011-10-19T11:59:47-07:00

When you update a project you usually go to Transcript View to see the list of files that were changed. If you notice that a file you were working on or you are interested in watching was updated you might want to see who updated. So you should be able to quickly see the history for that file. I think this is a useful feature because I find myself very often in the scenario described above. Plus, I think it would be very easy to implement since all this is implemented. You just need a way to get from one place to another.

Chris Blackwell said:

I just came here to write exactly the same feature request! I really want to be able to do a diff right from the transcript so I can review changes as they come in without having to go to the log.

Provide a way to refresh log/clear cache [updated]

2011-10-03T09:57:52-07:00

When log messages are updated (for example, with svnadmin setlog), the log is cached in Cornerstone and won't show the changes. It would be nice to be able to clear the cache.

Jason Smith said:

This request should probably be merged with "Add 'Refresh' menu option for repositories".

add filtering by value of custom properties

2011-09-27T01:19:33-07:00

elmimmo suggested:
The new interface for custom SVN properties is nice. But, without a way to search & filter items depending on whether a property value is/contains/doesn't, etc. makes them a little bit useless, and hence, pointless, though.

Make "Select all" in filtered view select only filtered items, not parents

2011-09-27T00:28:52-07:00

elmimmo suggested:
The filtered view is not that useful to quickly do select all files that match a filter and do an action to them, such as modified/unversioned files, since a "Select all" will also select parents folders even when they are unmodified/unversioned. Selecting those too will prevent or make inappropriate the intended action. A common time this happens is when, for example, I have added to version control a bunch of folders, but not its contents. In that case, there is no way that does not require selecting each individual file in different folders with dozens of clicks (or else I could not find one), in order to subsequently add all those items. As soon as you select a versioned parent folder Cornerstone dims the "add" menu and button. For that reason, I keep on having to rely to Terminal commands like the one below, and the point of using Cornerstone was precisely of not having to. svn status | grep "^?" | awk '{$1="";$0=substr($0,2)}1' | sed -e "s,[^.],\'&," -e "s,\$,\@'," | xargs svn add "Select all" should only select items that match the filter and not its parents. Either that, or just hide tree structure in filtered view and hence parents that do not match the filter.

Show all changes that happened between two selected revisions in timeline view [updated]

2011-09-23T11:42:40-07:00

I would like for cornerstone to show me all files that has been changed between two revisions. I think this could be done in changes pane of inspector while in timeline view. If i select directory from repository i could show me only files changed in this directory. I would like to know files path and last revision that modified that file.

update multiple working copies simultaneously [updated]

Make "Add to Working Copy with Contents" the default

2011-09-13T16:14:18-07:00

Peter suggested:
When you click the "Add to working copy" button at the bottom, make it add with contents by default. This is the default behaviour of subversion itself as well as almost all other subversion clients. I find it a constant frustration to have to hold the mouse down to choose "add with contents" explicitly. Adding without contents should be the secondary option.

Cornerstone: JIRA as Issue Tracking System [updated]

Leave Cornerstone Subversion-only client. [updated]

2011-09-07T08:18:15-07:00

There many voices regarding adding Git support to Cornerstone. I would strongly advise against it. Git and SVN have different workflows, and trying to merge then inside a unified UI will be a complete mess. It won't be good for users as well, as developer's focus will slip from making Cornerstone the best SVN client available, to making it decent Git & SVN client (which definitely won't work as well, given limited resources Zennaware has). Somebody will eventually create Git workflow oriented client some day. And everybody will defiinitely like it more than a monstrous SVN-Git hybrid, trying to do both and not excelling at any. So! Leave Cornerstone Subversion-only client! But perfect client at that. thanks.

gcombs said:

Why can't I use my votes to subtract from those that have voted here? I understand people wanting to have Cornerstone be SVN only ... that's fine ... but make a Git version so that Git doesn't suck on a Mac.
