Request

Please add a "SVN Log" option to the Menu so we can check changes in our code from within the IDE.

Problem

Our current SCC based versioning system offers the option to directly show the SVN log for an object in the IDE.

Native SVN doesn't offer anything similar to this anymore:

If we want to check the SVN log of an object using Native SVN, we have to manually browse to the source item ws_objects folder and then use the SVN client to show the change log, which is a lot less convenient.

 

Alternatively, an option "Browse to Source file" that opens an Explorer Window focused on the source file would be a helpful stopgap measure (which would also be nice for most other SVN features which are only available through the SVN client)

In PB 2017 R3, scheduled for July 31, 2018, we plan on adding more source control commands, followed by native interface to TFS in PB 2018, scheduled for December 31, 2018.

For now, the workaround is to install a Git/SVN client and use that for the source control commands that are not accessible through the PB IDE, for example the log you mentioned.

When we released R2 we knew that more commands were necessary, but we figured that some customers would be open to our workaround and so it would be better to release something earlier and revise it in R3 rather than delay everybody to R3.

Hope this information helps you!

That's good to hear. I knew about the lock command coming in R3, if there's going to be even more additions, that's even better!

Yes is better but while, how i can lock my objects, if you have a manual to use the workaround to lock I would be very thankful.
