Viewed inidcator for Files List/Tree on PRs
Asked by Daniel Lutz:

Hello community (maybe someone from the bitbucket team),

is it plan to bring a viewed incidcator to the Files list/tree on PRs status page. Currently it is possible to set a change as \`Viewed\` and there is also an indicator for \`n on m files\` files viewed.

But what currently missing is that i can see in the right pane an indicator befor the file. So when i search files which are currently not set as viewed the only way is to navigate with the previouss-next file button untile i found some file.

This should be go easier.

Best regards

Daniel

**FEATURE**

in a PR i can currently use the following steps

1. Set a file as "Viewed"
2. Here i see how many files are currently viewed from myself
3. To navigate i can use the buttons here

![2024-03-24_13-22-11.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/314012i7DEA008CA0342F7D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-03-24_13-22-11.png")

What i miss is in th files list (list or tree mode; right panel)

![2024-03-24_13-25-07.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/314013iB942F30FCC950692/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2024-03-24_13-25-07.png")

An indicator to see which files are viewed. The problem is that we have often not the time to review all files in one round. So when i come back i must remember which files are reviewed. Or navigate with the buttons above (3.) through all files.

**BUG**

In this case i also recognize a bug. When a file is only renamed i can set the checkbox for viewed and the counter for viewed files is increased but when i select another file the counter decrease and the viewed state for an renamed file is resetted.

Best regards

body: Hello Ben,

thanks for opening an feature request. The renaming is happen via commit.

author: Ben
body: Hey Daniel,

I've attempted to do this and have been unable to reproduce. Here are the steps I've followed:

* Commit two files to a feature branch
* Rename one file on the feature branch
* Create a PR
* Tick viewed on the first file, this shows as 1/2 Viewed
* Tick viewed on the second file, this correctly shows 2/2 Viewed

May I know if this process is similar to the steps you performed when noticing this bug? If not, please provide the exact steps so that I may attempt again to reproduce it and log a bug.

Cheers!

Thank you for providing a visual representation, this is helpful.

I've raised a support ticket on your behalf as I'll need to gain access to your workspace and reproduce it from my end - so far I have been unable to do so on my own repository even with the gif you've attached.

Please check your email for further correspondence.

Cheers!
