GUI feature request

Post by davidt » Thu Sep 08, 2005 1:22 pm

When I ask for diffs in the GUI client, the default selection in the resulting dialog box is to compare the working folder version with the version most recently retrieved from the repository.

However, if the working folder version is "Old", I think a better default would be to compare against the version in the repository. When I see "Old", I think, "Oh, what's changed lately?"

Thanks for considering it!

The default can be changed in the Options dialog, under the Diff/Merge pane.

Hope this helps

Thanks for mentioning that. What I wanted to request, however, was that items with an "Old" status default to current repository version, while other items default to last retrieved version.

Ah - I see. I'll add it as a feature request.
