Hi all.
Is it possible to configure Subversive to display an indicator in the code editor when you have made a change compared to the last (base/local) svn revision of the file?`

Intellij does this elegantly by putting a small icon in the right or left bare in the code editor. This makes it very easy to see what changes you are committing (instead of using the "compare to" feature every time..).

You could use Team -> Show annotations as a workaround. Of course, this will display a lot of other
changes. But you could manually set the revision to start from.

New lines are marked as having no revision.

Possibly, this could be a base for an implementation in Subversive.
Please file a feature request.

Cheers, Jörg

Hi!

It seems the "Quick Diff" option is just what you need. In order to enable it please follow those steps:
1) right click on the left field of the source editor
2) choose "Show Quick Diff" menu item

Ah, thanks Alexander. I know "Quick Diff" because this also displays annotations, but was not aware
of this.

The colours are quite light and not easily visible. Maybe they should be configured.

In addition, I found the "Preferences" entry for "Quick Diff" (which can easily accessed using the
same right-click and selecting "Preferences..." below):

General->Editors->Text Editors->Quick Diff

Here John can configure all its needs:

[x] Show in overview ruler (i.e scroll bar on the right side)

colors for add, delete, change (could be more intensive for me)

And most notably: Reference source:

Default is "Version on Disk", but Johns wants "SVN Working Copy Base".

For "Version on Disk" every Save clears the indicators, while "SVN Working Copy Base" gets cleared
only on commit/revert.

Anyway, thanks for your hint, which let me learn something new :-)

Cheers, Jörg

Subversive provides support for the "Quick Diff" which means that the "SVN Working Copy Base" version should be used instead of the "Version on Disk" one.
