how to edit the history columns on Mac?

[Todd Gillissie]

Right-clicking the column headers does nothing. I can't find any settings to choose columns. The author column is missing in my views so it's very difficult to see who committed what.

Hi @Todd Gillissie 

Welcome to the community!

Column customization in Sourcetree on macOS is unfortunately much more limited than the Windows version - this is a long-standing platform disparity.

Right-clicking column headers does nothing on Mac; it's not broken on your end, it's just not implemented.

ok, I can accept that customizable headers aren't a thing on Mac, but it's not acceptable that the given columns don't include the author. Pretty much makes SourceTree unusable in a team project on Mac.

Hey @Todd Gillissie ,

Which app version are you using? I know sometimes UI can be glitched (at least on Windows), so you could try to use View > Refresh, if there's that option in macOS. But yeah, there are app differences between Windows and Mac, as Ajay said.

I tried checking if there's anything reported in JAC (either bug or feature request), but couldn't find anything.
I'm not sure if it's still possible, but you could try creating a new suggestion directly there (just log in with the same account as here in the forums).

It used to be possible, but they changed some policies for submitting these recently. 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

Thanks, I was able to add a suggestion there.

@Todd Gillissie cool. Thanks for that!
