Feature Request - Show me what I'm undoing!

[saint168]

This has happened more than once for me. When I undo checkout on the project level, I accidentally undid changes several levels deep inside my project tree. Is it possible to show a list of file changes I'n undoing like the tree dialog I get when I check in changes recursively? Currently, all I get is a small dialog with OK and Cancel buttons.

Also, there are time that I want to undo changes to my project file WITHOUT undoing changes to the rest of the project. Currently I don't have that choice since the Recursive checkbox in the dialog is selected and disabled.

BTW, I am using Visual Studio integration, NOT the Fortress client.

Have you considered not having the undo checkout perform a revert? That option is in the Fortress Tools - Options - Local File. The option is called On Undo Check Out. By default, it's set to Revert, but you can change that to Leave.

There currently isn't a way to have it only revert parts of a project and not revert others though if that's more of what you are looking for.

I can still put in a feature request for a list of what is going through the Undo Check Out if you would like.

Saint168, if you just want to undo changes to the Project file, but not other files in the project, have you tried doing this in the Fotress Pending Changes window in Visual Studio, rather than in the Solution Explorer? I have done this several times successfully, myself. Just right-click on the Project file in the Pending Changes window and click Undo Check Out... in the popup menu.

Thank you and your suggestion was helpful. However, I still think being able to see what I'm undoing is an important feature to have in Fortress.

I've put in the feature request to show a list of items being reverted. I'm assuming you only need to see the things being reverted, right?
