How to switch off "Show nested refs" by default - tortoisegit

Whenever I'm browsing references, I have to disable the checkbox "Show nested refs" manually.
I have not found a switch in the settings dialog. How can I switch off it by default?

There is no way to change the default value, however, the selected value should be automatically remembered.
There seems to be a bug in TGit 2.5.0, fix will be in TortoiseGit >= 2.5.7.

TortoiseGit: Context menu not showing git sync option

Yesterday i find out that the sync option and the pull otion have disapeared from my TortoiseGit context menu. I tried checking them in the context menu but they where already checked. I also tried to uninstall TortoiseGit and install it again but it doesn't fix the problem.
Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Please read title for "Context menu 2". It states "Hide the selected items on the context menu".
That is the reason why those options are hidden by default.

Changing colours and fonts in WebStorm 2016.1

I have just downloaded WebStorm 2016.1 for Mac OS X. I would like to configure my editor fonts and colorus.
I understand that you must save the scheme before it becomes editable. This I have done:
but the options still remain unavailable.
Is this a limitation of the trial or something? What have I missed? I have applied the style, and have even closed down WebStorm and re-opened.
If certain style (e.g. "Doc comment" on your screenshot) has Use inherited attributes option checked .. then it re-uses colors from parent option (which is displayed just below it).
The solution is simple:
either edit parent style
or uncheck that Use inherited attributes option and edit your colors here
P.S.
Trial version has NO limitation in functionality.

TortoiseGit - where is the reset option for a branch?

I am using TortoiseGit 64 bit version on Windows 10. I know it has a reset option because the documentation talks about it. However, I cannot find the menu option for "Reset". I have searched the preferences to see if it needed to be added but I cannot find it anywhere. Here is a screen capture of my TortoiseGit menu.
Right now, the reset dialog can only be opened using the log dialog context menu.
cf. https://tortoisegit.org/docs/tortoisegit/tgit-dug-showlog.html
To add onto MrTux,
Go to the log dialog, right click on the commit you want to revert to and there should be a 'reset "current branch" to this' popup. If you want to clear all local changes in favor for this commit, then perform a Hard reset.
I had the same problem but couldn't figure it out from the answer here.
But the way I did it was, after I did a fetch there was the option to do a reset in the dropdown in the bottom corner of the dialog

How to disable "show previous versions" in the Open File dialog?

I've got a program that's using an IFileDialog (standard Windows dialog) to open files. And on some computers, it all works as expected, but on others, the Open button has an arrow with a dropdown menu that adds a second option, "show previous versions".
A bit of research indicates that this is an OS thing related to System Restore, and it can be disabled by turning off System Restore entirely. But that would be using global state to manage a local problem. Is there any way to simply configure the dialog to not show the dropdown menu?

Edit context menu (selectiontree) in customize dialog?

How do I edit the context menu (selectiontree) in a customize dialog?
I don't want to display the option "entire feature will be installed on local hard drive".
You can't remove this option. It gets displayed when your feature has subfeatures and allows selecting all subfeatures for installation as well as the currently selected (parent) feature, without clicking each of child features.
