Description nicolaes 2012-12-06 15:10:16 UTC
I am using Netbeans 7.2.1 with Git versioning for my projects.

However, I recently migrated from Windows to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I can't see the file/folder color differences between modified and unmodified files.
That feature helps a lot, especially when checking merging conflicts and you need to quickly isolate and access them from the Projects tab.

I don't really understand why this feature doesn't work in the Linux version of the IDE and I thought you guys can help.


Thanks,
Nicolae

What differences? Blue icon annotations in the Projects view (these: http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/git.html#viewFileStatus)? Are you sure the files are really modified? Can you run:
1) git status on commandline and report the output
2) Git -> Show Changes and make a screenshot?

Hello ovrabec, thanks for the quick reply!

The reference you gave me - "Blue icon annotations in the Projects view" - is exactly what stopped working on Ubuntu.
However, I noticed a LOT of files are marked as "Modified" and I find this (considering that my last commit was yesterday) a bit peculiar. Could this be the issue?

Thanks in advance
Nicolae

Screenshot for "Show changes" on the current repo

You can notice in the IDE screenshot some features working and others not woring.
Working:
- The files in the "Show changes" dialog are all blue / Modified
- The text editor shows new/modified lines of code (right / left side)
Not working:
- The "Projects" panel on the left shows no icons or modified files (Blue)
- The text editor tabs don't show any colors in the file names, as usual

No idea, it works for me without any problems. Can you make a thread dump (http://wiki.netbeans.org/GenerateThreadDump)? Maybe the request for annotations is blocked by something.
