Shows the switch to dialog and the proposed popup
just to be sure, do you suggest to? 1) add a button Select... 2) expand all nodes in the tree in the second dialog after clicking on "Select"? btw, you can type directly in the combo box and the selection automatically changes. So in the first dialog, if you start typing "origin/ma" it will autoselect origin/master branch. But i agree that adding the ability to select from the picker would be useful (In reply to comment #2) > just to be sure, do you suggest to? > 1) add a button Select... > 2) expand all nodes in the tree in the second dialog after clicking on > "Select"? > btw, you can type directly in the combo box and the selection automatically > changes.

But i agree that adding the ability to select > from the picker would be useful Ondrej, that is exactly what I propose. Thanks for the hint of typing into the dropdown box. It works and I am aware of it, but is unusable IMHO. You have to know the exact branch name. You have to make no error in typing. For switching to a remote branch to have to type at least 8 characters ('origin/x'). I know when using a cmdline version of git I would have to type more characters, but in that case there would be branchname completion, I would see where the cursor is, I could use backspace/del and arrow keys to correct a typo in the branchname. All this is not possible when typing into the dropdown. Totally agree, It would be very helpful if: 1) We could select a branch by right clicking it in the repo browser 2) The tree appeared expanded, or maybe there have to be an option to make this default No need for the "Select" button now. With #227570 fixed there is a list instead of a combobox and it provides quick search capabilities. But the revision picker should expand all branches automatically so the quick search works there too. fix: http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/80293c40c2d8 Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201309120002* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/rev/80293c40c2d8 User: Ondrej Vrabec <ovrabec@netbeans.org> Log: #230491 - Select revision dialog should expand all branches and tags by default |
