Does the (+) button open a file-open prompt, or is it a list of all previously opened projects?
If it's the former, then it's absolutely useless for my use-case, and a great example of removed functionality.
If it's the latter, then they have gone backwards in UX design (for my personal use case) - that is, it is now an additional layer of barrier for me to see and access all my projects, for what benefit? What problem is this solving?
If the only answer to the previous question is something to the effect of "cleaner UI" or "less clutter" then there is a fundamental problem with how they approach updates.
It really sucks that this is even a thing, because I feel bad for shitting on Atlassian so much, when I use Sourcetree almost exclusively, and have for quite a long time.
- Sujan 9y agoI agree that they mangled your use case, but think this is a pretty great improvement for probably >95% of their users. Most users do have not that many repos and work on only very few a day. The former UI had two ways to switch repos, and to be honest it happened quite often to me that I had selected a repo on the left, but not the tab, and so was looking at the wrong stuff for a few seconds. So I see your pain, but have to agree with the thinking behind this change. (Although I think the new repo selection screen is not very pretty, misses functionality [I can see all my folder opened at the same time] and wastes so much space - it should have just been like the old repo list but in a different location)
- socialist_coder 9y agoThe (+) button shows you the same list as the repo sidebar did before. That is what you want, and yes, it's 1 additional click now. Not so bad.
