Description

« Hide

I work in the same CC view for a long time and have different activities used all the time. When I done dealing with activity and submit the files I mark it as "Obsolete" (1.png) so that it doesn't appear in "Check In" window of ClearCase (2.png).

But IDEA still displays all of them in the "Local Changes" panel (3.png) and "Commit Changes" (4.png) window.

I think it is not a good idea for an IDEA to delete changelists by itself. Will it be enough if I decorate obsolete changelists (activities) somehow and you will be able to see them and react correspondingly (that is delete manually)?

I was thinking that "Obsolete" activities are not deleted, they could be simply not displayed in 3.png and 4.png.

Btw, you've just released version 7 and already working on issues ? Aren't you celebrating or something ?

To remove obsolete activities (change lists) I have to know several things - their status (now I can do that) and understand that there are no files checked out with them (this is possible) and probably smth else ClearCase-related. From the IDEA side there may be files in that changelist, e.g. move to it manually. All this makes unclear what to do with them. Computing whether there are checked out files in that activity means running additional cleartool commands which is simply BAD. So right now I'm in doubts how to do that perfectly

Ok, I was thinking that it's more trivial than it's really is, as it follows from your description.
May be a checkbox "Hide Obsolete" (which isn't checked by default) may appear in 3.png/4.png ? If one checks it - the progress dialog will appear saying something like "Verifying no check outs" and after it's done - the obsolete activities will not be displayed. If it's unchecked - they'll appear back right away.

Just an idea ..
