Feature request: filtering pending changes

[jsiegmund]

Hi,

I would like to request a feature for the Fortress client. It would be great if one could filter the pending changes window to only show / include items with specific properties. For instance, I updated some projects and solutions and I wanted to check in the related solution and project files. But there were also some pending code changes which I didn't want to check in. So now I had to manually search the list for all sln and proj files, select those and check them in. A simple column based filter option could easily resolve this.

Second, would it be possible to add a column 'Changes' to the pending changes list which would contain the number of changes made in the file. Sometimes the timestamp will change when for instance an external tool is ran which modifies the timestamp, not nescessarily changing the contents of the file. Fortress client will list those files as being modified with an unchanged filesize, but you can't tell wether something actually changed or not. So now I have to open DiffMerge via "Show Differences", see that the changes count is 0 and then undo the pending change (I don't want to overwrite unchanges files in a changeset). I understand this might create a big cpu load to calculate all the changes, so this should perhaps be an option in the toolbar or something (calculate change count).

Thanks!

I can add the feature request. In the meantime, you might try using the search tab to find a group of items that you want to check in. A check-in can be performed from there.

I'll add a feature request for the second item as well. In the meantime, using the Show Differences is a good route to take.
