P4V Gripes

The graph view is clumbsy.

  • If I drag my workspace to the edge it should scroll.
  • There should be tooltips on the streams so I can see names without making streams larger.
  • The "Graph Navigator" tab is horrid-- I should be able to use my mouse wheel to zoom.

Poor feedback.

  • The little progress bar in the bottom right corner is barely noticeable. A progress bar should popup when doing anything that needs a progress bar. Our artists spam buttons all the time because they don't see this progress bar.
  • Input should be blocked on resolve popup when you click the button to automatically resolve all.
  • When resolving one by one, you just want to click "Accept Source" a billion times, but with different types of resolves, the buttons move around. This means you have to move to to the new position of "Accept Source" and click.
  • You cannot sort a changelist by change type. I want to see the adds together, the removes together, etc.
  • the "History" view is great, but it needs to tell display which folder it is displaying history for. I've been perplexed at why my submits aren't showing up, only to find out I was looking at history for some random subfolder.

Bugs

  • When resolving conflicts via the popup, automatic resolve never shows progress and rarely works correctly. I frequently have to go through and resolve one by one.
  • Choosing advanced reconcile crashes P4V 100% of the time I click it. I'm on Windows 7 Pro, 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601, x64.

The Largest Gripe of All

On P4V for Mac, when you select a character encoding, you can select "UTF-8" or "UTF-8 (BOM)" On Windows, however, you can select "UTF-8" or "UTF-8 (No BOM)", meaning that if you select "UTF-8" on both your windows computer and you mac, you will select different character encodings, one with BOM and one without.

Completely useless error popup that doesn't explain what the error is:
