Versioning files ala NetBeans

[honyk]

Hello Everyone,

it would be nice to have similar functionality for highlighting of revisions according to working Subversion copy like it is available in NetBeans. If any file stored in SVN repository is edited, corresponding lines of code are colored (new/modified/deleted have own color) and they can be easily visually detected in area just beside scroll bar, in the same way how validation errors are displayed now in Oxygen. It could be also somehow implemented into Author mode.

Hello,

We have the possibility to see the differences between the current version of a file from a SVN working copy and the repository version in the SVN Client tool opened from menu Tools -> SVN Client. This tool has a specialized view called Synchronize view and a built-in diff editor that displays the differences with colors. I think adding these colors for SVN differences in the same editor area where the validation errors are displayed will make the editor area too crowded visually and will distract the user that wants to edit the file.


Thank you for your suggestion,
Sorin

Hello,

I dont't share your doubt it will be hard to orient in these warning colors. In documentation shouldn't be too much errors and revisions as suggested would be marked as box at the beginning of line (+ beside-scroll-bar area), not as text underline.
Of course, it could be option with possibility to switch it off.

We will consider your suggestion for a future version. We will have to see how it looks with all the markers on the side bars.


Thank you,
Sorin
