Hi all,
I am using cola to manage work research project and it has been
absolutely great.
I especially appreciate two features: that I could easily revert
changes in a file by right clicking on it, and that I could commit
only selected lines from the diff view.
I intentionally write "could" because after some distro updates
(ubuntu karmic) it is no longer possible.

Can you give me a hint where to look? I presume those features were
not removed, so could it be related to some missing python modules or
something?

Thanks,
Vasek

Isn't Karmic still a few days away from release?

Is Karmic using qt 4.5? do you know the versions of qt and pyqt?

This is odd.

Can you try the latest checkout from git?
http://github.com/davvid/git-cola

here=$(pwd)
git clone git://github.com/davvid/git-cola.git
cd $your_repo
$here/git-cola/bin/git-cola

I'm currently prepping the v1.4.0 Halloween release.
I use these features everyday so it'd be odd if
they dissappeared.

Let me know if that works for you.

1.4.0 is coming soon and Ubuntu's really good about rolling with
the latest and greatest, so hopefully your pain is short-lived.

The new version looks really nice :-), however, it behaves the same
way as 1.3.8 which comes with karmic.

The trouble is that right-click on a file in repository status has no
effect. No context menu shows up.
Right-click on some selected lines in diff viewer works, but the menu
contains only 'Copy' and 'Select All'.

I am not blaming git-cola at all. I really suspect that it has
something to do with incompatibilities in bleeding-edge packages of
the distro.
I just wanted to check if you are not aware of some typical
conflicting pieces.

I will swith to git checkout for now and keep you informed how it
works.

Best,

Yes it is, but I migrated early since my graphic card does not like
jaunty.

qt 4.5.2
python-qt 4.6

Should pyqt and qt version number correspond? If yes, then I should
probably wait for another update.

Thanks,

I think that combination should be okay.
It could be that the signal used for 'selection change'
is different in PyQt 4.6 so I'll read up on that.

Hi David,
after another set of updates of python, both versions of cola now work
as expected. (only diffs are not colored but I can live with that)
Sorry about the noise.

Thanks for a great tool and prompt replies,
Vasek
