Unified views in Git commits

This update provides another set of improvements for version control using Git. We have unified file views and improved the daily commit, push, and pull workflow.

Unified Views in Git Commits

  • List and Grid Views
  • Image Sequence Stacking
  • Supports Multi-Selection to choose which files should be committed and which ones should not

Git Improvements

  • Shelved Files
    Also known as Git Auto Stash. File changes can be pulled even when uncommitted file changes exist. You don’t need to commit your files when doing a pull anymore. Branches can also be switched, even with uncommitted file changes.
  • Join Git Repositories, even when you have already checked out the repository with another Git client
  • The commit process is now cancelable
  • The pull process is now cancelable
  • Pulled commits are merged instead of being rebased. This solves issues when you have a lot of local commits and want to pull a change from a team member.
  • Improved Git terminal on macOS
  • Timeline shows new remote commits in a batch icon
  • Anchorpoint detects if files are locked and informs the user

Other Improvements

  • Search results can now be grouped via folder, modification date, or best match
  • Show a count on the workspace indicator when there are new projects available
  • New task blocks are incrementing their name

Fixes

  • Fixed wrong deletion status in Git of files that are still there
  • Fixed crash in MPV video player on hover on thumbnails
  • Fixed the issue that filters are disabled once sorting is triggered
  • Fixed missing search results for tags
  • Added a button in troubleshooting to reset window positions when the window is no longer available
  • Scrolling issues on larger folders have been resolved
  • Project menu is closed automatically when you open a project in a new tab

  • Updated Git to version 2.39.2
  • Installation dialog is not a popup but embedded in the project creation dialog
  • The console does not show automatically when errors appear
  • Member popups are not shown when the user is not available in Anchorpoint
  • Improved the copy of certain validation and error messages
  • When creating a Git repository with an Unreal project, Anchorpoint automatically sets the correct .gitignore configuration

Project creation and user management improvements

This release represents a major overhaul of the user experience for creating and managing projects. A three-step wizard guides the process of creating a Git repository or project on Dropbox, including adjusting the name and inviting members.

Member roles and access control are now much clearer. Hovering over any member displays their rights, and you can give them permissions to edit projects or make them admins.

Creating Git repositories is even easier now, with just one way to create a Git repo and use a Gitignore template during the creation process.

Highlights

  • Create projects using a three-step wizard
  • Simplified workspace member roles
  • Creating Git repositories is easier

UX Improvements

  • Project roles are eliminated
  • Hovering over a member displays all member information in a popup
  • Favorites can be created using a star icon in the top right corner
  • App links can be created using a star icon in the top right corner
  • Tab handling is improved
  • Better placeholders are displayed when no project files are attached to Anchorpoint

Bug Fixes

  • App icon is displayed in push notifications
  • New tasks are created without a popup
  • The scale of grid elements is not modified when a filter is set
