When I look at the local history of an individual file, my current file is labeled "Current" and I can click an arrow to apply old changes.
If I look at the history of the project, and click on a file from there, the current version is labeled "Your Version" (Read Only) and I cannot edit it directly.
Any idea whats going on?
History directly from the file
History from the "Show History for Folder Dialog"
This is a bug. Editable panes were not implemented for the Local history of a directory.

I normally do git diff for this but want to leverage the intellij gui.
The Version Control tab just shows me all the files that changed:
To view the actual changes I have to select a file and choose "Show Diff".
This opens another window. Now from this other window if I want to see changes for another file I have to click this button then open the other file:
I don't like that. Is there a way to have this in the same pane? Where on the left I see a list of the changed files and I just have to select the file to see its changes? Otherwise its very clunky and unusable for being able to see a tree of changed files and selecting the one's changes I want to see
Just found it, I wanted "preview diff"
When i create a new stream in RTC source control I take a snapshot of the current stream and create a new stream from this snapshot.
If I right click on a file in RTC source control and click "View History" then just the changes made in the current stream are displayed. If changes were made a previous stream(s1) and this new stream(s2) is created based on that stream(s1) then I do not see the changes made to the file in s1 . I can search for change sets on the stream and try to find the file that changed but this is a difficult process.
How can the entire history of file changes be viewed on RTC source control regardless of what stream the changes were made ?
You can display the repository files of a component (directly in the component section of your project area).
See the component folder in the picture above: a show history from a component in that folder, as opposed to a component in a stream, would display the full history of that file, instead of the filtered one from a stream.
This is similar to the "Show all in history" mentioned by Scott.
See "RTC file/element revision history":
In the Eclipse client, you can right click over a file loaded into a workspace and select "Team -> Show History".
This shows you the history of that file in that workspace.
You can then click on the "Show all in repository" tool icon, to see the history of all versions of that file. (You can do the same thing to a file in a stream/workspace repository files view, with the "Show History" operation).
In the History View there is a button in the toolbar to "Show All in History".

In SVN we have one option to download code on a particular revision. This provides the flexibility to download code on old revision also for build.
Is there a option in RTC to download a code on particular revision?
Yes: once you have done a repo workspace on a stream (where that old version was baselined), you can select a component (in the components section of your workspace), and click on "Replace with".
You can then chose the baseline you want to see, and it will be downloaded if you have a local workspace or sandbox in place.
Simply don't "deliver" to the stream, or you would replace the most recent baseline by an old one.
For setting a file to an older version, it is a bit manual (as in this thread):
Right click on the file in the change set, and select "show history" (or if the file is in an editor, right click on the editor and select "Team -> Show_History). That will open the History view on the file, form which you can select the version you want.
SOLVED! 🚀
The only thing that worked for me was:
.
On your workspace's tab [Pending Changes] -> RightClick on the component that you want to get file(s) back -> [Show] -> [History]
RightClick on the "PackOfChanges" that has your wanted file(s) -> [Revert]
.
PS: It won't actually revert your actual project state to that day, and won't undo that "commit". The only thing that it does is showing on your workspace's tab [Pending Changes] all the diferences between that day and you actual code, and in every file(s) that you want back you:
"DoubleClick" the file that you want back that was showed by revert, and an Editor will appear with the diferences between you file's actual code and it self on that day, and you pass all the code from the right to the left.
After it's done, on your workspace's tab [Pending Changes], RightClick on the RevertPackage -> Remove
.
Have a nice day! 😄
I'm new to the IntelliJ IDE. In the past I was working with Visual Studio or Eclipse.
In those IDEs there was an asterisk * above the name of the file which has been modified.
But in IntelliJ with the default configuration I can't see if the file is modified. What's more the file is saved automatically when I change focus to another window.
I've found some options under Settings -> IDE Settings -> General -> Synchronization:
Synchronize files on frame activation
Save files on frame deactivation
Save files automatically if application is idle for...
After unchecking all that options the file is not saved automatically every time I change focus to another window, which is good. But still I can't:
see if the file is modified (no asterisk)
decide if the file should be saved when I'm closing it (IDE doesn't ask for that)
And when I'm closing IntelliJ file which has been modified is saved without even noticing.
Do you know what can I do to change how IntelliJ behaves?
After unchecking mentioned options go to:
Settings/Editor(IDE Settings)/Editor Tabs:
Check "Mark modified tabs with asterisk"
On 2019.3 Ultimate it's under:
Settings/Editor/General/Editor Tabs:
Mark modified (*)
The exact Save feature like eclipse is not available in IntelliJ.
Because IntelliJ IDEA has the ability to change so many files
simultaneously in large refactoring actions, and change them without
ever opening them, single file saves don't make very much sense. In
recognition of this, IntelliJ IDEA reserves the right to save any of
your files literally whenever it wishes. It's actually quite nice to
never have to worry about your file's save statuses, once you get used
to it.
"What if I don't like some changes I made, and want to roll them
back?", I hear you say. Well, for that IntelliJ IDEA includes this
amazing feature called the Local History. Every time it saves your
files, IntelliJ IDEA actually saves a diff of your file from it's
previous state, and saves that as well. You can see the entire edit
history of your files (going back some number of days), see the
changes you've made, and roll back any change. It rules triumphantly,
and more than makes up for the temporary disorientation caused by lack
of single-file save.

To show an asterisk when a file is modified: open Settings (CTRL+ALT+S), switch to Editor > General > Editor Tabs and select the Mark modified tab with asterisk checkbox.
To remove autosave, uncheck: Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Save files on frame deactivation
How can I access previous checked in versions of workspace repository?
I just seem to be able to compare against the latest changes sets delivered to the stream. Can I also view/compare previous version of a file which has been checked into my repository workspace ?
You can display the history of a file checked in by right-clicking on ("Show History").
From there, in the "History" view, you can right-click on any version and select "Compare to" with any other version (not just the previous one).
As explained in this thread, you can access (open) the content of any older version you want, which gives you the opportunity of replacing the current version with said content, should you want to revert back for just one file.
Rolling back would be a slightly different issue:
If the change set that created the current version contains only that version, then you can replace the current version with the previous version by discarding that change set.
But if that change-set modifies multiple versions, you cannot roll back just that file. Work Item 59688 requests the ability to "split" a change set, so you can move this change into it's own separate change set (and then you could roll back the change to just that file).
Note that the history will be by default the one for that given file done in your repo workspace (checkins) or in your stream (deliver).
The same "show history" done at the Component level (when you right click on a Component, in the "Components" section, and select "Show Repository files", would give the full history (done on any Stream), but wouldn't display the history done on repo workspace (chekins).
Note also that only RTC4.0 has "Checkin history"
This is essentially the history of a file within a change set.
Each time you check-in a file into a change set, the content is stored in the repository. Normally you see only the final version of a file within the change set. But sometimes you want to go back and see what the intermediate versions of the file were. Check-in History is an expansion of the changes made to the file each time it was checked into a change set.
