  3. Review Assistant should be able to receive updates from other project, not only the one that your are connected to.

  4. Under comments there is a link to the commented file, however, the review may be for an older revision than the current. It would be nice with a button or something to get all files in your workspace to the revison under review.

  5. Adding a comment from code gets slower when the amount of comments increases. This already starts at say 15 comments
    Steps we take: when in code, right click where to place a comment, click Add comment. Then it takes a second or 2 before the comment input is visible in the board.

  6. The scrolling experience in the comments part of the board is quite laggy. This gets worse when the amount of comments increases. It is always there, but starts showing clearly with already 20 comments. So scrolling in the upper, overview, part the scrolling experience is normal, but in the comments part it gets laggy.

  8. The review overview list is very minimal. It would be nice to get more information at one glance. Now you have to open each review separatly or hover over the reviews to see things like:
    - What tasknumbers and/or changesets are involved in a review.
    - How many reviewers have accepted already

  9. Computer name visible on network can differ from the name detected by RA server. So links in notifications cannot be opened. it would be great if there will be a possibility to override this name in RA server config.

  10. I want to be able to search my email history for a file name and find which review had been created for it (with the link). Being able to search by the revision/changeset number would also be helpful.

    If the New Review notification (as well as the notification that a new revision/changeset has been added to a review) would list the revisions and the files within each, that would be very helpful.

  11. The only place I see the review number is in the notification emails. I want to be able to reference a review in conversation by number, as the titles can be verbose and difficult to distinguish from each other in some cases. Either show it all the time just before the title, or at least display it in the hover text.

  12. Often, I would like to add explanation to changes I'm including in a review. I can this in an overview comment, but in a review with lots of files, it's nice to give preparatory remarks on individual files, or specific lines of code in a file.

  13. The code review board inside Visual Studio lags, stutters, and is overall not very snappy. Particularly bad is the scrolling, but also it is quite slow in expanding/collapsing comments and in opening a comparison view when double-clicking a file. Would like it to be smooth and delightfully fast.

  14. It would be nice if Review Assistent would add a message header to the mails it sends out that has the project name so they can be filtered easier in mail clients like Outlook like:

    X-ReviewAssistant-Project: FooBar Project

    While it is in the title of the message, it would be better to have it as a header to be able to filter on.

  15. It takes a lot of work to coordinate updates to the server side and dozens of clients. Since the install is the same executable, it should be reasonable to make an option in the client settings to update to latest version. All users using an old version would get a notification which would take them to the RA settings pane. There would be a button/link to "update now" this would kick off a download from the RA server which would deliver the exe to the user and execute it. (I silent install would be phenomenal!)

  17. When creating a review, after choosing the changesets to include in the review, I often need to unselect a large number of files from the review, because they are generated files that don't need to be reviewed. Currently, the only way to do this is to click the checkbox next to the file for each file. I would like to be able to shift-select a large range of files and then unselect all with a single click.

  18. TFS allows developers to link work items by ID to a check-in. This is often enforced by a rule to make sure devs always do this.

    Now the reviewer has to manually pick the changesets linked to the TFS item one by one from the TFS history.
    It would be great if these TFS items could be used as the source for the changesets to import to perform the review on.

  19. We started using Review Assistant before it had AD integration, so we have a bunch of users with logins/passwords. If we want to change one of those users to use AD, we need to remove their account, add a new one, and then manually add them back to every project they had access to. It would be nice if there were an easy way to switch an existing user to use AD credentials.
