ScreenshotAll platforms - Plastic Cloud Edition: Improve user experience during the onboarding!
In the centralized mode, if the user didn't select any repository, the workspace was created against the default@local server, what it wasn't correct. Now, this field cannot be empty. The user has to select or create a repository.
All platforms - Gluon, Plastic, Unity Plugin: Changed the way we add rules to the ignore.conf file.
Recently, in version 9.0.16.4473 we released a feature that added common ignore patterns to the ignore.conf file, when we detect a Unity project in the workspace.
Some users reported feedback about this. When the ignore rules don't fit the project features, this automatic behavior can be harmful.
So we changed the behavior just to create the ignore rules ONLY when there is no ignore configuration for that workspace.
In other words, we don't change the ignore configuration if:
* We find a ignore.conf file in the workspace.
* That workspace has ignored rules in the plastic-global-config.
Windows - Plastic: The Branch Explorer view was not displayed when Plastic loaded without internet connection.
We fixed the following scenario:
1. Open Plastic SCM and show the Branch Explorer.
2. Close Plastic SCM.
3. Disconnect from the internet.
4. Open Plastic SCM again.
The Branch Explorer view was not displayed. Even connecting again to the internet, and trying to show the view again, it failed.
Now it's fixed.
Windows - Plastic Cloud Edition: Users couldn't create a workspace in the centralized mode.
We broke the workspace creation during the onboarding in the centralized mode in the last release.
Although there was a repository selected in the dialog, an error message appeared preventing the user to continue 'Repository name must not be empty'.
Now it's fixed.
