Repository grouping and "Open Local Repository" · sourcegit-scm/sourcegit · Discussion #2258 (original) (raw)

Instead of PR2256, new "Open Local Repository" implementation is introduced on develop branch.

• 3db91ed - feature: supports to choose group and bookmark when cloning remote repository
• c1a5e98 - refactor: rewrite Open Local Repository feature
• 6f58f47 - feature: add hotkey Ctrl+Shift+O/⌘+⇧+O to open local repository (feature: add Ctrl+O global hotkey to open/init repository #2256)

New "Open Local Repository" action requires "repository must belong to a group, you must specify from existing group".
It is bad for me who want to simply open repository on arbitary location.
In other word, previous version of "Open Local Repository" action in Welcome page is better for me.

Grouping of repository path is made on scanning in "default clone directory".
So grouping is almost the hierarchical structure of paths, not explicit naming by user.
When I try to open a repository in out of default clone directory,
I have to worry that "What group should I select?"
I want to open repository simply.

Anyway, could you make group selection an optional feature?
Or, "Uncategorized" group as default.
