Code Collaborator Features

Welcome to our Code Collaborator feedback site!

Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

    1. Allow author to specify which files a reviewer needs to review.

      This would be very useful for larger reviews where there are certain files (a subset) of the review which a particular reviewer must review, but may not care about others.

      For instance a common change throughout the code base that must be made at once in multiple components. Authors can specify component owner's review their files only. Check boxes or other mechanism would be ideal. This also allows reviewers to "finish" their review without having to review all files and comments.

      • Option to complete review when all files reviewed by at least one person

        Currently a review is not complete until every person has reviewed every file. We would like an option so that the review is complete when every file has been reviewed by at least one person. This would be useful for larger reviews where different people need to review different subsets of the files, where we need to know that every file has been looked at, but we don't want to force people to (pretend to) look at files that they know nothing about. It would also record the information about who actually reviewed which file, instead of the current situation… more

        • Add a counter for changes in current file to help with navigation and evaluation.

          Adding a counter in the file view would be helpful a couple reasons. It would help with navigation for a heavily changed file. The reviewer would know where in the file they are, and how much they have left.

          A feature could also be added which remembers this as long as the user is hitting the "next" navigation button Code Collaborator could bring them back to where they left off next time they open the same file. This would be useful for longer reviews when the current file is not reviewed in one sitting.

          • Ability to hypertext URL's

            Instead of displaying long URL's it would be nice to use hypertext to shorten the link.

            • Support creating reviews in RTC after code is submitted

              Currently using the RTC plugin, you can create a review before you submit the review, or you can make it happen on a specific state change.

              I work in on a large team where people use different ways of doing code reviews, and hence not everybody wants a collaborator review done on a particular state change. Moreover, not every issue needs review. Some defects are hairy and require a review, while others ore a simple css change and so you don't bother.

              I'd like to be able to selectively create a review, even after the code has been submitted.

                • Anchor pending comment text to the original line when clicking on a different line

                  It should still be possible to move the line number before the comment is submitted through some user action, but it would have to be an intentional action (i.e. click the anchor icon to have a line drawn through the anchor icon to indicate you can now relocate the comment) vs. just clicking another line which can happen accidentally. Once the line number has been changed then the comment would automatically be anchored to the new location, unless the user repeats the step to move the line number.

                      • Option to disable subscriptions by template

                        To extend the idea of customizable workflows, a per template setting to enable or disable review/file subscriptions could be useful.

                        The idea is to create an informal review template that does not include all subscribers to a review when only a couple of reviewers are needed.

                        • Upload patches/raw diff files via the Eclipse plug-in

                          No matter how hard the CodeCollaborator plug-in tries, it will always play catch-up with all the source control plug-ins available in terms of diffing. Take for instance Egit: CodeCollaborator did not even start the race yet! http://feedback.codecollab.com/forums/4652-code-collaborator-features/suggestions/259657-integrate-the-eclipse-plugin-with-egit

                          Unlike its plug-in sibling, command-line "ccollab" understood very well that it cannot win this diff race every time on every track. That is it provides the command "ccollab adddiffs". Please provide the same "adddiffs" feature in the plug-in.

                          Note the web interface has the same limitation:

                                    • jump to first action item

                                      When I have action items in a big review, the only way to get to the first action item, and the next one after that, is simply to scroll down the page until I see the yellow balloons. It would be very convenient, especially for big reviews, if there was a simple action that would scroll the page to the next yellow balloon.

                                      • Komodo Edit/IDE Plugin

                                        Currently my team uses Komodo Edit and IDE and our Company would like us all to use Code Collaborator. I would switch to Eclipse, but it scares some of the notepad people.

                                        • Add a "refresh" button in the "Page is too large to auto-refresh. You may refresh your browser for the latest." message

                                          If I'm working on a large review, I get the "Page is too large ..." message. I'm fine with that. What's annoying is that the "Refresh" link is all the way at the top of the screen, and the "Waiting" and "Finish" buttons are all the way at the bottom of the screen. It would be nice if that floating "Page is too large ..." message also had a "Refresh" button so I wouldn't have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page to refresh, and then scroll all the way back down to get back… more

                                          • Add support for addchangelist in mercurial

                                            Some support for mercurial has been added here: http://feedback.codecollab.com/forums/4652-code-collaborator-features/suggestions/37677-add-support-for-mercurial-hg-?ref=title

                                            But post-commit support, which can include information about the revision under review, would be nice. :)
