Folder/File status inside directory not showing on parent folders?

[nvie...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I have a weird scenario going on. Say I have a structure like this

• Root Folder >
• Child Folder >
• File1.txt (Modified)
• File2.txt

In other projects I have that use SVN, the status of files within folders makes its way to the top of the directory. In this case, File1.txt is modified, so I would expect Child Folder to show a modified status on it. I would also expect to see Root Folder showing a modified status for the same reason.

This isn't happening, and the statuses are specific to files right now, so it's a bit hard to see where all changes are in my project at the moment. Again, other projects this works fine, so something is off with the way this specific one is setup. I have tried using the Clean function.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

First, make sure that the icon overlay handler is set to "Default" (Settings dialog->Icon Overlays at the top).

If that's already the case, run a cleanup on the wc root and make sure to check the boxes "Clean up working copy status" and "Refresh shell overlays".

Hi Stefan - unfortunately, the handler was already set correctly, and the cleanup didn't have an effect.

make sure the file is not switched to another branch and 'Child Folder' is also not switched.
