Since this requires a closer look, I suggest filing an issue about this.
Also, this might include the docs, not just me ;)

Agreed. Issue please!

There's a button "Show Log..." in that dialog after the update finishes
which will show you exactly those revisions you just updated. In the log
dialog you then can see what you want.
And isn't there already a "Show Log" entry if you right-click on a
file-entry in the log dialog?

This was discussed before. That's the standard behaviour of a dialog.

That blue color (if you're talking about the progress dialog used for
updates/commits/...) is a system color. You can change that color in
your windows settings.

This has been changed due to some discussions on the list. We could
change this again, but I think someday we have to stick to a certain
behaviour and not have me changing it every few weeks.

An entry "Open" is ok, but definitely _not_ as a doubleclick action.
That would disturb me a lot since I'm used to doubleclick on a file and
have TMerge pop up really fast. Sometimes files are associated with a
'big' application which takes ages to load and I don't like it if e.g.
VS.NET starts up again just because I accidentally clicked on such a
file. Also, you could accidentally click on an exe file or a dll (dll's
are associated with regsvr32 on my machine, which would really annoy me
if that would happen accidentally!).

AFAIK the commit dialog now also shows a submenu to ignore by mask.
Having multiple files ignored at the same time is a bad idea - if you
have to ignore many files at once, you should better think again about
your file-layout or use a mask to ignore files.

What's the point in comparing two files from the commit dialog?
>>Explorer popup
>>
>>11. The same as #9: if I right-click a modified file, I get "Create

Because that would require two pathfiles to be created. The subversion
function which does this only takes one file as an argument, not a filelist.

So file this issue ;)

Again: please file an issue about this.

Doesn't the F1 key work? Oh boy: another issue.

Agreed. Add this to the previous issue please.

I've made the string length bigger some time ago. So it should be fixed
in HEAD.

Unfortunately, it can't. If you press "Cancel", then TSVN immediately
set's the 'cancel' flag in the Subversion callback, but Subversion
doesn't always cancel immediately :(

If you can reliably reproduce this and of course provide either a small
repo or reproduce it with some other public repository then you should
file an issue. Otherwise I won't be able to fix this...

Please file an issue.

So file it please ;)

Me too! You already can export easily by right-dragging. Choosing
"Export extended here" instead of "Export here" isn't really a big deal.

I don't like that idea. All the settings a normal user can/want/should
change are already in the settings dialog. All those which are dangerous
are not there and only documented in our docs. And even Microsoft has a
_lot_ of documented registry entries which a user can change with
regedit but not with a settings dialog.
Stefan
P.S. You're really late with your list here! I mean, when we start
discussing about releasing soon you'll post such a big list? Why
couldn't you post this list earlier so we would have had the time to fix
and *test* it?
That said: I'm sorry but your request won't make it into the 1.1.4
release anymore - you're just too late.
