Description medeag 2011-09-09 11:16:57 UTC
Hello,

Currently the only option we have is to directly update from  repository, maybe it is possible to view all incoming files, before update (similar to eclipse's synchronize approach ) maybe new window with all listing incoming files where users will be able to select files they want to update. There are cases when this behavior is very useful.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Medea

I know that's not the same, but you should achieve the same with:
1) Subversion -> Show Changes - select only Remote Changes mode
2) From the view click on the Diff button - the differences between your BASE and HEAD are shown.
3) Now you can choose/select whatever files you want to update and run Update from the contexual menu, right?

I like "Show Changes" from Netbeans but most of times i find myself updating the directly(forgetting to view show changes) unaware that somebody has made change that i don't  want to have on my computer. Reverting update is possible but still this feature will economy of time.
also i think ex-eclipse users will like this approach more.

Thanks,
Medea
Comment 3 Ondrej Vrabec 2011-09-09 13:14:04 UTC
I just wanted to know if the current diff view suffices your requirements. If you always remember to do Subversion -> Diff instead of Subversion -> Update and then review and select the files to update and update them via contextual menu, isn't that what you want? In other words, would be for example running a diff before an update enough??
I am asking because i'd like to know what would be the added value in the Sync view in contrast to our diff view? Because should the views be the same, why introducing another window that does and displays the same?

ovrabec,

yes, running  diff before an update enough will be enough.

I was only thinking about simple and intuitive window - just like during commit action, but I agree with that no need to introduce new view, because behavior is the same.  

Thanks,
Medea

Sure, i didn't want to push this out of the table, just wanted to know if there are more features provided by the Eclipse Sync view because i have never used it, i just have a limited and vague knowledge of how it works or what it does.

I have found short tutorial on the eclipse(old version) + CVS, 
maybe it will be helpful
