Feature List

List of all the features of the Plastic SCM Source Control Provider for Unreal Engine 4

I intend to use this list for validation of each new Engine release and each new Pull Request I submit.

Connect to Source Control

• initialize a new Plastic SCM workspace ('cm makeworkspace') to manage your UE4 Game Project, and a new local or cloud repository ('cm makerepository') if not existing
• add .uproject file, Config/, Content/, Sources/ and ignore.conf to source control
• can create an appropriate ignore.conf file as part of initialization
• also permit late creation of the ignore.conf file
• can make the initial checkin asynchronously, with a custom multi-line message

Daily workflow

• show current branch name in status text
• display status icons to show checked-out/modified/added/rename/moved/deleted/private files
• show history of a file
• visual diff of a blueprint against depot or between a previous version of a file
• add, delete, rename a file
• checkout and checkin a file
• revert modifications of a file (works best with Editor's Content Hot-Reload enabled)
• Sync to Pull the current branch if there is no local modified files

Advance operations

• migrate an asset between two projects if both are using Plastic SCM
• solve a merge conflict on a blueprint

Limitations

• Visual Diff is not working for a renamed Blueprint
• Windows only
