We currently have a simple Star Team setup with a couple of branches or views as they seem to be refered to in Star Team:
--Production
--Staging
--Development
--Trunk
We would like to "Share" or create a "Referenced View" of a Change Request (CR) that would be visbile on all of these views, but we would like it to be updated across all the branches when a change is made to it.
I have tried Ctrl + dragging and dropping the CR to the various views but they dont get updated when I make changes to it. Its as if they are being treated as individual copies of the CR. I also tried checking and unchecking the "Branch on Change" checkbox for the behavior of each of the items but that seems to have no effect either.
Have you tried the "Floating" Radio Button under "Advanced | Behavior" on the "Configuraion" Tab?

I have one folder that contains multiple sub folders, and each of them is one git repository. Sometimes I can see this SOURCE CONTROL PROVIDERS view showing up and it's super helpful, but sometimes it doesn't show up. I would like to know if there is a switch on the vscode UI to turn on or off this view. (Maybe it's a plug in that I accidentally installed?)
Thank you!
Version 1.31.1 has a config parameter to always show the source control providers:
Type Ctrl+, to access settings
Search for SCM
Check the "Scm: Always Show Providers" option
You are using 1.17 released today (at least for me). For info about that panel see source control providers. I don't see a toggle for that panel - I assume you always get it if you have multiple SC Providers and open up the source control icon CTRL-Shift-G.
but sometimes it doesn't show up
Starting with 1.47 (June 2020), it does not show up at all, as it used to.
There is a new "single-unified view":
(the old view might come back in 1.49, Sept. 2020, see at the end)
The Source Control view has been consolidated into a single view:
All repositories are rendered in a single view, so you can get a better overview of the entire workspace status.
Additionally, the Source Control view can now be moved to the panel and other views can be moved to the Source Control view container
This... has not been appreciated. See issue 102118:
In the old system, if I had 4-5 repos showing, the one or two with active changes would show up clearly at the bottom.
Now it's very muddled, and sort by status simply puts the repos with changes at the top.
Here is the old view. List of changed files only show up when a repo is clicked. They are clear and distinct, separated from all the list of repos and everything else at the bottom.
The new single source view. One has to hunt for the changes amidst a list of other repos. It is cluttered, hard to parse, and requires hunting to find what you want. The old view was much easier to follow and use.
issue 104151 proposes to bring back the old view
Example:
The Source Control Repositories view is now back.
(It used to be called Source Control Providers).
It lets you control visibility of multiple repos in the Source Control view.
The setting scm.repositories.visible is now back
(It used to be called scm.providers.visible).
I've sprinkled visibility actions both in the context menu of the Source Control view as well as the ... menu, to make it easier to control the visibility without using the Source Control Repositories view.
i am using an eclipse based IDE and have a library with some files that i need to make additions/changes to. what is the best way to quickly see the all the modifications of all files in a list/tab in eclipse IDE?
i know there is the useful "#TODO" tag that shows all tasks in a nice view/tab. as im using this quite heavily, i would like to have a special view/tab that just shows the modifications and separates them from the todos.
EDIT:
thx for the suggestions and the local history tipp.
sorry for not making myself clearer. ive added a screenshot.
when i add "TODO" the tasks show up in the tab marked in red - i dont mind setting manually something (like a bookmark) as im not going to make a lot of changes, but ideally they show up like the tasks or another simple overview.
It's could depend of your version control system.
For each, eclipse purpose an associated plugin with a specific view.
Instead that, you could use the History view (Team/ Show local History after a right clic on a file).
Eclipse keeps a history of your changes for a limited number of days (configured in 'Preferences > General > Workspace > Local History'). You can right click on a file and choose 'Compare With > Local History' to see the changes between revisions.
To track all your changes you need to use one of the source control systems (such as SVN, GIT, ...). Eclipse has plugins to support these systems. Once you have installed one of these you can use the 'Team' menu to commit changes and look at the history.
found it!
by clicking "window" - "Show view" - "other" one needs to select the "bookmarks". the bookmarks then show up as a tab next to tasks.
by clicking the right small arrow the bookmark view menu pops up (similiar to the screenshot above with the task menu). the bookmark view can then be configured/filtered by clicking the "Configure contents..." menu link.
I have two versions of a word document as two different files.
How can I get a track changed version?
Is there a way to compare them and merge as track changed version of these two documents?
PS: MS Word's comparing tool seems a solution it doesn't work for me. I need its "track changes" version.
First, turn on Track Changing
On the Review tab, in the Tracking group, click the Track Changes image.
To add a track changes indicator to the status bar, right-click the status bar and click Track Changes. Click the Track Changes indicator on the status bar to turn Track Changes on or off.
NOTE If the Track Changes command is unavailable, you might have to turn off document protection. On the Review tab, in the Protect group, click Protect Document, and then click Stop Protection at the bottom of the Protect Document task pane. (You might need to know the document password.)
NOW,
On the Tools menu, click Track Changes.
When the Track Changes feature is enabled, TRK appears on the status bar at the bottom of your document. When you turn off change tracking, TRK is dimmed.
Make the changes you want by inserting, deleting, or moving text or graphics. You can also change formatting.
Track changes while you edit
You can easily make and view tracked changes and comments while you work in a document. By default, Microsoft Office Word 2007 uses balloons to display deletions, comments, formatting changes, and content that has moved. If you want to see all of your changes inline, you can change settings so that tracked changes and comments display the way you want.
Balloons show formatting changes, comments, and deletions.
NOTE To prevent you from inadvertently distributing documents that contain tracked changes and comments, Word displays tracked changes and comments by default. Final Showing Markup is the default option in the Display for Review box.
Track changes while you edit
Open the document that you want to revise.
On the Review tab, in the Tracking group, click the Track Changes image.
To add a track changes indicator to the status bar, right-click the status bar and click Track Changes. Click the Track Changes indicator on the status bar to turn track changes on or off.
Make the changes that you want by inserting, deleting, moving, or formatting text or graphics. You can also add comments.
I'm looking for a view that highlights changes to files, similar to the changes you can see viewing the Edits button for an SO item, or the history of a wiki page.
For example https://github.com/clojure/clojure/commit/c89bf2e9bcfc1bca62e36dee2d78a48f8c38c15c
You are looking for 'diffs' aka 'changesets'.
Note: the change set view not only offer a diff (line by line or side-by-side), it now (Sept. 4th 2014) offer a word-by-word diff.
See:
"Better Word Highlighting in Diffs"
Commits, compare views, and pull requests now highlight individual changed words instead of the entire changed section, making it easier for you to see exactly what’s been added or removed.
See also comparing commits across time.
Does anyone know UI tool (Eclipse plugin would be great, but any other, for Linux/Windows is acceptable) that allows to see difference of some part of code, but also allows switch between revisions quickly, e.g. by using slider.
I like the Team -> Show Annotation... functionality. It colors the left side of the editor and groups changed lines by color. When you hover over one section you get the commit details (revision/author/date/comment).
I've used SVN time lapse view with some success.
http://code.google.com/p/svn-time-lapse-view/
It would be nice if Tortoise SVN blame included this history slider feature.
