Why Do You Keep Messing With The VCS View?
已回答
I just installed 2021.1 EAP on a new PC and I can no longer see the local changes, which is why I started to create this post.
I had previously asked why you changed the name of the view from VCS to Git and went searching for that post to link in here.
Instead of finding that I found essentially the same question from 4 months ago.
Now that I have it back again, there are Checkboxes next to every file and directory in the Local Changes view.
However, you can't actually tick any of them!
Why do you keep messing with the VCS view and making it worse to use every time??

In 2020.1, we Introduced a new non-modal commit interface. It is enabled only for fresh installations when no traces of the previous install is found. We believe the new UI works better in many cases, but it indeed depends on the workflow. That is why it is optional.
For existing installations, UI is not switched.
Non-working checkboxes in the list after switching the UI is a just a bug - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-260736
I'm glad you made it optional.
That keeps both sides happy :)
I had forgotten about this and just spent 30 mins with a screenshare with someone trying to work out where their local changes where and how to bring it back.
This just demonstrates that having the local changes in a separate place from the rest of the version control is clearly not intuitive.
It would be nice if the Compare With Branch diff view also had this modal option too.

Gaaah!
You just can't help yourself can you???
Now when I tried 2025.1.1 the modal option is gone.
You have to add an extra tool window “Commit” which isn't there by default or even next to the version control window when you do add it!!!
This Commit window is irritating too.
It has the Amend tickbox then the commit message then the commit buttons, all of which obscure your actual local changes! I can see 3 changed files when it is down next to the git log window.
The only way I can see more is to have it on the left.
Now I have the left panel open to see the local changes and also the bottom panel to see the git log making my editor view much smaller.
Are you hiring eclipse developers into your team because each release just makes it worse and worse.
At least you have the Classic UI plugin to get rid of the annoying “New UI”.
Can you add the local changes view back into the version control tool window as part of that?

The modal commit interface was moved to a separate plugin in 2025.1 release. Please check the details and the entire discussion here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-177161.
