I was trying to add an Altium project to our SVN and it wouldn't display *.schdoc files for addition. I found that the head of our repo (erroneously) had an ignore property for *.schdoc files attached to it. I was able to delete that property and then add my files.

It got me curious to find out what other properties have weaseled their way into our repo without notice. For example, I came across a folder that had an ignore property for *.xlsx but the folder consisted of all *.xlsx files that were up to date (green check).

I've read a conversation in this group that explained that property inheritance is passed from child to parent, not parent to child. This is counter-intuitive to me, but whatever.

The only way I've found to check the properties of a folder is to right-click a folder and select Properties in the TSVN context menu. Is there a way to view/report the properties of all folders in the repo at once vs. having to right-click each individual folder?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

you could use the command line client

svn -R proplist URL

to list all properties on all items in the repository, or

svn -R propget propname URL

if you are interessted in a special property

forgot to mention, depending on the size of your repo, this may take a
while.
Better test first on a small subfolder to get familiar with the syntax

check for modifications-dialog.
check the boxes (bottom left)
 - Directories
 - Unmodified
 - Properties
now this may take quite a while. But after the dialog has fetched all data, you can right-click on the list contrl header and see all possible properties. Select the one you seek and you'll get a column with that property. Sort by that column and you'll get all files/folders with that property at the top, with all the property values shown in the column.
