Hey,
I am new to PTC and needed to work with PTC since 2 month.
I have 2 years of experience with TortoiseSVN and now i have to get in the new PTC Environment.
I wonder where the very simple basic functions which TortoiseSVN comes up with are in PTC.
In TortoiseSVN i can simply see in the WindowsExplorer in which Folder is a Change in a file.
I can right click the Folder in the Explorer and will get instantly the Option to see all differences in the Folder lokally compared to the repository .
I will only see the effected Folder and below them the files. Everything else is hidden, because its not interesting.
Then i can also right click in the Explorer on a Folder and see the Log.
I will then see all changes since the Sourcecode got introduced as a new Project in SVN.
I can see each check-In, or in PTC-Language: Change-packages.
I can see a comment to the check-In and i also can see which files changed.
I also can simply see, what Revision i got and what the current Revision is.
Ok in PTC, first of all, i can not see it in the Windows Explorer, which is not very neatly, but ok
i gotta deal with it. Next i want to see my lokal changes. but PTC does not give me the Option or i am just to stupid.
I can filter for lokal modifactions in the sandbox-view, but it will still Show up every Folder, no matter if there is a Change in it or not.
Ok i can expand all, then the whole sandbox-Folder-structure get expanded and i can see the modified files, ¿but i have the whole folderstructure opend ?
I only wanted a tiny overview about my lokal changes, i dont care about the folderstructure at this Point.
Pretty similar case if i have a older file-Version and want to see which files are actually newer.
Ok, i can deal with the pretty complicated Views which PTC is providing. I mean i have no choice
But what i really really missing is a overview about the whole Project-Source-Code-History.
In Tortoise you just right-click the Folder and then press the Button "Log" and will see the whole SourceCodeHistory.
In PTC i can only see a Single-File-History or a Project-History.
- The FileHistory is not very interessting usually. Because why would you check each file for a History.
You rather looking for a overview about all files at a specific Point.
- In the Project-History i only see the specific Time-Stamps where Lables where created. Which is useless for me.
UseCase: There is a Team working on a Project.
I use the Project-Result for my own work.
Sometimes the Team get a Bug in the current Project so that the resulting Tool doesn´t work.
But i was in Holidays, bevor Holidays, it worked, after it doesn´t.
But i need the Tool for my work, so i go and want to get a older Project-Version.
Now i could just get the Version bevor my Holidays. But there was maybe a necessary Change after that Moment i dont want to miss.
So i want the last working Version.
But PTC does not Show me every changes in the whole Project over the last couple weeks, so i would be able to pick it myself. Tortoise does that.
Or am i wrong? Is there a way to get a similar function?
I might just Need some Training, which i possibly won´t get, so please excuse my less knowledge about PTC
Any Help?
