Hi All,

I use the SVN File Explorer GUI mostly, FYI. Recently when new files are in my SVN directory on my local machine, and I want to commit them to SVN, I have to:

  1. Right click directory
  2. Tortoise SVN
  3. Add
For all new files not yet versioned in SVN, this is happening, and I have to add each folder, and sub-folders/files individually. In the past, we wouldn't have to click 'Add' on any new files, rather, when committing our code, new files would appear in the commit window as Non-versioned and we could just commit them from there. Because of this change in behavior, we've all been occasionally missing new files when we check in our code.

Anyone experiencing similar changes, or have advice as to why this is happening?

Thank you,
Nick

In the commit dialog there's a checkbox at the bottom left named "Show unversioned files".

Hi Stefan, thanks for the quick reply. I am well aware of that checkbox, and could've sworn that it was already checked when we were encountering this issue in the past. I'll keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks, and if anyone/myself find themselves having the "issue", we'll look at Show Unversioned Files first, to ensure that's not simply what's going on. Will report back if there's anything else to add.

Another possibility: if you have somehow set up an svn:ignore property or set the ignore pattern to include all or simply too many files.
