Updating number of changes shown following external update
Asked by Chris Fisher:

We have what seems like a lot of repositories (somewhere in the region of 100). I use a bat script to pull and update and switch between multiple versions of our application. However, when I do so, the view in source tree never updates the number of changes it is showing as incoming unless I manually open each one of the 100 projects and pull individually, which then says there are no changes and then it takes ages still for the number to be removed.

This is very irritating as I cannot rely on using source tree to let me know there have been changes and I cannot afford the time to manually update each repo separately.


Answers:
author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry
body: I think if you actually want to have relatively real-time data about a hundred repos, SourceTree is not the right tool for you. Since you already have a batch script, you could add a status reporting function to the end of it.


author: Chris Fisher
body: Hi

I've tried that before and it didn't seem to work. Just switched the setting again now to 1 minute, closed and restarted Sourcetree and waited 5 minuets and I still have loads of incoming changes being flagged when there are actually none. Also we have been discouraged from setting that as we have a lot of developers and a lot of repositories it was causing too much traffic on our Mercurial/Rhodecode servers.

Source Tree: different encodings
Asked by Roman S:

Hello!

Is it possible to add to Source Tree possibility to choose text encodings separately for commit messages and filenames?

On Windows file names always use system encoding and different git/mercurial tools tend to use utf-8 for commit messages. I'm currently in a situation when file names are encoded with windows-1251 encdoing and commit messages are using utf8. So, when I change default text encoding in Source Tree if I choose utf8 then filenames got borked and if I choose windows-1251 the commit messages got borked.

sourcetree, git and line endings on windows (and visual studio)
Asked by mojmir svoboda:

hello,

recently i started using sourcetree, and i must say that this is a first gui for git that i really like. thank you!

but i have a big problem:

do you know how to set it up so that the sourcetree/git does works correctly with line endings?

what is happening:

i work on some files on windows project (i.e. mostly CRLF) with visual studio. some of the operations of sourcetree (stage/discard hunk? stashing? stage/discard line?) does messes with line endings in the way that when reloading the file in visual studio says that there are inconsistent line endings.

if i identify the file by file utility:

original file: C++ source, UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CRLF line terminators

modified file: C source, UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CRLF, LF line terminators

it does not happen often, but by now i "infected" at least 5 files in a project which annoys other users.

i watched it for a while and maybe i personally suspect stage line (s)/ discard selected line(s) functionality of sourcetree. but maybe i am wrong.

body: nah there's something more... it did it again while i watched, now i have 1oo% repro.

i have a file in stash, that has only one hunk in it. i can send it to you in form of patch, probably.

1) clean repository:

$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp

*/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators*

2) apply stash:

$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp

*/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators*

3) select green line

discard green line by clicking at 'discard lines'

*$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp*

*/d/src/lib/onExit.cpp: C++ source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators*

4) discard hunk

*$ file /d/src/lib/onExit.cpp*

comments: author: Bal?zs Szakm?ry

author: mojmir svoboda
body: yes, but i have this setting for a very long time. and still observe new files with 'inconsistent line endings' appearing (after certain operations of git or sourcetree). that's why i am asking... i've been googling on this a lot.okay, i will fix the infected ones with unix2dos.exe and we'll see

Can I filter SourceTree's log view by branch?
Asked by Rob Wright:

I really like SourceTree, and it has comfortably taken the place of TortoiseHG for managing my HG repositories. For the first time I even trust a GUI to perform my commits, pushes and pulls (previously I insisted on doing this via command line).

The one feature I really feel is missing is the ability to filter the log view by branch. I know you can select "Current branch", to only show commits from the current branch, but I often need to see all commits made against other branches, and it's usually not convenient/possible to switch branch in order to do this.

It's the one feature I still go back to TortoiseHG for. Crack this and I'm all yours!


Answers:
author: KieranA
body: Hey Rob,

In the Windows version you can't right now. I did this on the Mac version when I had some spare time a couple of years ago but it was one of those features Windows users no-one requested. There's one request sitting somewhere in JIRA right now that has an assigned version from what I recall. It is super handy to be able to see the log for just that one branch and nothing else, otherwise you can be looking at useless commits on other branches.

Here's the issue which you can vote on: <https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-1231>

Why is convertDate function returning yesterday's date when I give it today's date?
Asked by NA1021:

Hello,

My company is using Confluence Cloud. I created a form using Confiforms with a field named *status* and another field named *completionDate.* Using Confiforms Rules for Definition macro, I created a rule such that when the status is changed to "Completed" -- whose key is 4 in the status dropdown-- the *completionDate*field is automatically set to today's date in the US/Pacific time zone, which is where I am located. I used the convertDate function to force the time zone to Pacific since I will have users whose time zone may be different than mine.

Here's the macro definition:

![Capture.PNG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/270236i07F1101236C38F2E/image-dimensions/389x326?v=v2 "Capture.PNG")

When I ran it and changed the status to Completed, **the *completionDate* shows with yesterday's date**.

Incidentally, I tried using the formatDate function first which gave me another problem in that if I did this late in my day, **the date returned is tomorrow's date**.


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@NA1021](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5273455)

And welcome to this community

Why would you use the convertDate here? Why not just setting the completionDate to current time and that's it

It will be rendered in the user's timezone automatically (if completionDate is a date/date time field)

Alex

comments: author: NA1021
body: Hi Alex,

That works! Good to learn that the date/time will automatically render in the user's timezone. Excellent.

I have another issue but will open another ticket for it.

Best,

Create a Page of Most Liked Pages

Page that shows recordings from a speaker series (label: "speaker-series") sorted by most likes (like the "Popular" option but with parameters and elsewhere in the space.

author: Aron Gombas _Midori_
body: This sounds like a typical use case to be solved with a CQL search like this:

```
label = "speaker-series" order by likes
```

Unfortunately, "likes" is not available as a [CQL field](https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/cql-fields/). I don't know why, but CQL is very limited in comparison to JQL, its equivalent in Jira. I do hope though that Atlassian will keep adding new fields, functions to CQL. You may want to open a feature request.

If "likes" were available, you could create a page using one of the [macros that display CQL search results](https://www.midori-global.com/products/better-content-archiving-for-confluence/cloud/documentation/content-status/macros#what-is-a-macro).

Import and management of external files
Asked by roux:

Hi,

As part of a project to translate several documents on Confluence, I was going to import a Word file using the tool's native function, but it didn't respect the formatting and special characters.

Reach restricted content from an anonymous space
Asked by Nacho Cortes:

Hello everyone, I would like to present my case to see if anyone has faced something similar.

We have a **Confluence team space** that I think is currently well structured and has some pages that contain important information for other teams and also people outside of our organization.

What I want to accomplish is the following;  
Share these specific pages anonymously so that everybody can read them, but without them being able to access the rest of the pages, I only want them to see the content that interests me.

I've tried creating a new space with anonymous permissions and using the **IncludePage** or **ContentByLabel** to collect the pages that interest me, but it does not render them to me because it is a restricted area.

The only option that occurs to me is to modify my structure and that the "property" or original page is in the shared space and then reference it internally in the team space, but I am not completely convinced because it implies going against our policy of everything inside its container, so if one day you remove this element, all its associated documentation will do so.

Greetings,

Nacho.


Answers:
author: marc -Collabello--Phase Locked-
body: One possibility is to copy all shared pages to the anonymous space, and to restrict editing in the anonymous space. The all edits go through the team space. If a page in the team space gets updated, copy it to the anonymous space.

comments: author: Nacho Cortes
body: The problem is that we also use excerpts and page includes within these pages so... in case we use that approach we must make the whole space public which I don't won't it changes completely how I've structured content.

I've found some plugins that avoid that permissions restrictions i'll try them to see how they fit as a solution.

Confiforms Dereferencing the UUID of Records Limitations
Asked by Chris Iacovelli:

Doing Smart Drop downs allows you to not only reference the field but also allows you to pull in data from the other form to the current form by using field definition rules.

In testing/prototyping, I have discovered that you can dereference/chain into other tables as well to retrieve their underlying data if the UUID from the other table.

![dereferencing.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/270156i0CA3D52C384B0BAF/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "dereferencing.png")

My question is, does Confiforms have a limit to the number of dereferencing/chaining that can be performed, e.g., up to 10, 100, unlimited?


Answers:
author: Alex Medved _ConfiForms_
body: Hi [@Chris Iacovelli](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1199594)

Great question!

There are no limits in ConfiForms

You can navigate through the forms and fields as much as needed. But of course, each extra step adds a cost to the operation

Alex

comments: author: Chris Iacovelli
body: [@Alex Medved _ConfiForms_](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781630)- I doubt I will ever have many steps in the navigation to pull the data together and completely understand the ops cost for chaining.

I don't know how fast that gets rolled out to your Cloud site.

I know there are some other issues they're working on regarding export. The export seems to depend on the size of the page/space. Here's a Jira ticket where a space with a lot of attachments, it has issues exporting. [CONFCLOUD-75912](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-75912)
