Commit Dialog in 2018.2 is missing essential buttons

If you mean some toolbar icons that have been removed, it was done to cleanup interface. According to statistics, a very low percentage of users use the icons that have been removed.

All the actions are still available, e.g. via the context menu.

> like adding and removing files to be a part of the commit are missing 

Please clarify what exact buttons you mean. Adding removing files from commit is done via checkboxes in front of files - and they are still there.

I am sorry for the vague description. The "plus" and "minus" buttons that could be used to add untracked files to staging and remove files from staging were something that were a part of mu every day work flow. I would add a file from somewhere to the folder or generate one via a script, and while committing I could easily select the file and click the + icon to make it a part of the commit.

Thanks for letting me know about the content menu options. It is still a break of habit for me and doesn't come naturally.

You guys do what you need to do. I expressed my concern, if many feel the same way about it being cluttered, then removing them makes sense. Or if is just to achieve the clean look with no obvious negative effect, I think it is better to give us the option to use it.

Thanks.

If you have an unversioned file in a list, just select it with checkbox, and IDE will automatically git add and include it into the commit. So manually adding it is not needed.

Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know it would auto add them. I have always missed the file and manually added them later.
