Perfoce plugin incorrectly shows file as "outdated" while it's freshly sync'ed with the depot. Can't hide the bugging, can't disable it.

Created: 22 Sep 08 10:27   Updated: 22 Sep 08 12:06
Component/s: Version Control Integration. Perforce

Environment:
OS: RHEL 3
JDK: Sun 1.6.0_07
Idea 7.0.4 bld 7941

Build: 7,941
Severity: High


 Description  « Hide
The Perforce plugin shows very annoying message that the file is outdated, then it shows the details of a change (which, adding insult to injury is one ancient list many changelists back), then there are 2 links: one to see the diff and the other to to update the project.

What's wrong with the picture:

1. The message is wrong: the file is fresh. Whether I click on the "update" link on the message, or run p4 sync (which completes successfully), or sync with p4v, that dumb message still shows up.
2. It's quite big, worth 3 lines of code, eating off my screen real estate.
3. There is no obvious way to make it disappear.
4. Files being obsolete isn't a big deal: it's very, very normal in big, hardworking teams!! Why should I be bugged in such an obtuse way about something that's normally expected?

I suspect the plugin gets baffled because my project root does not equal to the workspace root.

But the first tning that has to be fixed is:

1. Ability to hide this message. Don't bug me if I sign up for being bugged!!
2. Ability to disable this message. I saw it once, I don't want to see it again!

just found a workaround:

1. Navigate main menu "Version Control" -> "Show Changes View"
2. Select "Incoming tab"
3. Click on the "refresh" icon.

Being kinda rude, the pluging does not give much feedback but after awhile, it clears erroneous message and disables the "refresh" icon.

Since there is this workaround, the issue becomes low priority unless someone sports enough pride in his/her job to fix this ugly... Give me a hint, give me "don't show this message again"...
