Edit history marks in Visual Studio
-
I just want to say that I really appreciate the green and yellow edit tracking marks on the left side of the editing windows in Visual Studio.

Out of curiosity, why? I must say, I've not even noticed them since I turn off the left margin/gutter/whatever it's called. Marc

Because I am am getting senile and forgetful. If I have 10 files open and am making changes all over the place and then go to check in the changes I can quickly scan what I've done, do a quick sanity check to make sure the changes look OK, and then have an easy way to summarise the changes I've made in the check-in comments It also helps me because when I'm casually browsing through a file I edited 2 hrs ago I can get a reminder of what it was I was doing. I call it "Goldfish programming", as in "memory like a...".

so do things only look ok as long as you are not sane?

Whenever I do java programming, I do it in Netbeans, and they have something similar. Whenever you work on a file that is in your CVS sandbox, it shows your changes and lines modified compared to the version in the repository. I don't know if VS has something like that (never used version control in VS) , but it should.

Is that what those things are? I started looking at them and you seem to be right.
