Another commit dialog post…

4 März 2009

As I’m currently trying to enhance the MercurialEclipse dialogs that are used most regularly, the dialog has seen another change.

The newly introduced dialog tray is now not only showing the diff textually, but in a compare dialog. This means, that on selection of a changed file you get the “Show diff” button enabled. Clicking on it opens the tray and embeds the Eclipse compare dialog in order to be check changes in a structural compare viewer. When the file selection changes, the diff of the new file will automatically shown.

I plan to embed this dialog into the revert dialog as well. If you got any ideas, what could further be improved in the dialog to enhance the usuability, please comment – I’ll try to incorporate those suggestions if possible. Here’s a screenshot of the latest version:

New commit dialog in MercurialEclipse

28 Februar 2009

Finally, I’ve refactored our good old commit dialog. It was overdue a long time ago, but after reading new complaints about it, I thought I would give it a shot. At least, it is now maintainable for me, as I changed it to GridLayout. As adding stuff is now quite easy, I added a few small features:

Ctrl+Enter now triggers the Ok-button.
Added a text field for recording the committers name – if not filled the configured user name is used, else the entered text. This makes the correct attribution of patches a lot easier.
A tray showing the current working directory diff, which can be opened by clicking “Show diff”. This is definitely inspired by Merclipse. @Whitney: If you have some ideas what could be better, please tell me :). Next step: Only show the diff for the files being visible…
Errors are now displayed via Error message as the dialog is now capable of showing error messages.

Here are some screenshots:

MercurialEclipse 1.3.1019 released

14 Februar 2009

MercurialEclipse 1.3.1019 on MacOs X Leopard

As of today, the first of the 1.3 versions of MercurialEclipse is released: 1.3.1019. Since we heard you like bugs fixed, we did some bug fixing, but also added some new features. The changelog looks like this:

Enable remote compare for outgoing changesets (r1000-r1004).
Outgoing changes can now be shown in the Eclipse compare editor.
Fix multi-threading issues (e.g. r997).
Use hgattic extension for shelving/unshelving if it is available (r1012).
If the HgAttic extension is installed, shelve and unshelve will use it.
Support aliases for repositories
Beginnings of a project property page (r1016).
A property page shows associated repositories.
Bumped default timeout (r1017).
Saved commit messages are now configurable (r955).
Added option to choose color and font for decoration of changed, unknown, removed, added, ignored and conflicting files (r957).
Colors and fonts of decorations can now freely be chosen.
Fixed massive performance bug in status decoration. Big projects will see major speed-ups when an incremental build is triggered, as builds don’t trigger status updates anymore (r981).
Fix for username caching in repository location.
Allow ignoring resources that are not in the status unknown.
Chinese translation, fix log parsing, add Options page for Import/Export of patches.
Added commit message dropdown in commit dialog #83 (r952).
The commit dialog now allows to select a previously used commit message.

After selection of a previous commit message, it is automatically pasted into the message area.
