Is there a way to change the default Workspace view?

Angle Bracket

When switching to a branch I notice that the default view in the Workspace is always History. Is there any way to change the default to be File status?

Minor issue but our writers change branches a lot and have no need to view the history so they're always switching back to status.

Apologies if this is just a basic menu option that I missed - I hunted for it but couldn't find anything.

Thanks

Same issue here. I am a single developer and only need to see the History if I messed something up in a bad way... I am always switching to the File Status. Would love to find a way to set this as the default when opening Source Tree or just a way to open to last state.

I agree: Workspace "History" is only usefull if things go wrong - not for normal workflow.

i wrote in our company-manual:
Always switch to "File Status" ( ...and don't click and change in history for normal work! )

Therfore "workspace default is fix to "History" maybe a minor feature
- for me it is a big issue!

agreed. this is a major waste of time for me. it takes a long time for ST to build a history I don't want to see - during which the ST UI is frozen. when it's finished a click on File Status.

also agreed! Huge waste of time pressing ctrl + 1 every time I change branch! Should be a preference setting for this

Has anyone figured out a solution to this yet? Super annoying to constantly have to enter CTRL + 1 everything I want to commit incrementally.

Is there a solution?

Its already mid 2023. Still no solution? For a simple feature.

Come on Atlassian let's fix this

It is the waiting for the history to load before you can switch that is annoying

The best way is to ask a feature request or to search for a feature request that fixes the issue. I'm also annoyed by this and I found this one:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-14275?filter=98713&jql=project%20%3D%20SRCTREEWIN%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20text%20~%20%22workspace%22

So, everybode comment over there and cast your vote on that issue if you would like that devs do something with this request.
