Locked Files not showing in PlasticSCM GUI Client


Dear plastic community,

A colleague and I are currently testing the plasticscm cloud offering in combination with Unity. My setup is as follows:

Setup Lock Rules in the cloud - for example for *.png files. Using Unity 2021.1/2020.3. My colleague checked out a png-file and fbx-file. Both file types are on the organization + project lock rules.

However I cannot see that the files are checked out exclusively in my workspace view and their icons are not changing at all. We are both @main@U_TestPorject@SameServer. I have to try and checkout the files and only then, the system tells me that I cannot edit the files. Furthermore, Unity is properly showing a blue/orange lock, so this is only in the Plastic GUI.

I would like to know why this is happening? Shouldn't the GUI show me icons for checked-out files from other users?


Solution

  • I'm afraid the Plastic SCM GUI doesn't include an icon for the locked items. Only Gluon does.

    As a workaround, you can use the "cm listlocks --help" command to show the locked items.
