Overall, I like the new UI. However, the repository list on the left works worse for me now. Specifically, when I open a repository, the subitems “Issues” and “Patches” opens up. I had a bad time finding these, because I opened a repository that was far enough down on the list that I had to scroll the list upward. When I clicked on the repository, the list reset itself so that the top of the list is shown and the repository I had just opened, and its now-shown subitems, was not visible anymore.
In order to browse the list of issues I now need to scroll down to find the repository, click on it to open, then scroll down again to find the repository again to be able to click on “Issues”. This is frustrating.
I currently have 111 repositories on my laptop. The desktop app now much less convenient to use than before the latest release.
I don’t know what the solution for this should be. Is it possible to not reset the list of repositories to the top? Can the “issues” and “patches” subitems be moved to the repository view?
Thanks for feedback Lars! And sorry it’s more frustrating to use the app at the moment because of the update. The solution I had im mind is first of all try to keep the sidebar static, so that it doesn’t shift around on navigation. But also to add a Favourites section, where you can pin your most used repos at the top, so you don’t have to search for them.
One workaround that could help for now is you could try ctrl+f and type the repo’s name in the fuzzy finder, which should put the repo you’re looking for in focus in the sidebar.
