Allow users to turn "show full file" by default
Problem to solve
The feature "show full file" is really important for reviewers. They can see if the commit applied all the changes needed to the file and suggest to change more portions of the file. From the reviewer point of view it's almost mandatory to see the file with this feature by default. In order to accomplish so, in the "user's settings" should be available the possibility to turn this feature default on. This will semplify the usability of gitlab by avoiding the need for reviewers to click manually on all "show full file" buttons across the changes pages.
Intended users
Further details
Turn all show file open avoid reviers to look at changes twice to see if they miss to open some file. Speed up approval timings
Proposal
It's possibile to add this feature in 2 way:
- having a button in the changes page on top with the action "EXPAND ALL / COLLAPSE ALL".
- place a new user's settings value in order to choose the default behaviour
Permissions and Security
none
