Feature Request: Folder View in changes tab

[FabioGaudenzi]

First of all, thank you for your work. GitFiend is very clean and easy to use.

I think a folder hierarchy view within the changes list would speed up the commit process for bigger projects.

Thank you again.

Thanks @FabioGaudenzi :)

Is it because in your project you have lots of nesting or very long paths? Are you finding it difficult to tell files apart?

A screenshot of the problem would be helpful if that's possible.

I'm a game dev working on a Unity game with lots of different folders and long paths, right now my job is to import and check 3d models and textures for each object in the game. Unfortunately when I test the game, Unity modifies lots of meta files that could conflict with the work of others.

A folder view could help me bulk stage all the assets for a specific object without having to cherry pick.

(in this screenshot I have 40 modified files, I need to stage about half and discard the others)

Thanks again

Is there any improvement on this subject? Is it among your plans?

[GitFiend]

I've made some indirect improvements since then that may help with Fabios' problem. You can now resize the sidebar, and you can pin files you don't want to commit (right-click -> Pin file). This means when you click stage all it only includes that files you want.

A next step is to better display deeply nested files/folders, which I plan to do in future.
