Hello,

I regularly export animations to a folder and then used to right click commit the folder it would show me all the missing files (which now get deleted) and also the unversioned files. 

Now it never shows the unversioned files. I added a couple log files to ignore but I later changed that so they are not ignored. But it has not changed. 

If I find an unversioned file and select all and right click add it will then all add unversioned files but only if I right click a file which isn't already added. 

I am asking the community if anyone knows how this happened and how I can fix it. Just right click commit or right click add on the folder used to work and the fact its stop is very very frustrating. 

Thanks for any help

First, check in the settings dialog under "General" the "Global ignore patterns".
Then show the properties for the folder and check if there are any svn:ignore properties set. If there are some shown in gray, then the property is set in some folder above that one but still affects this folder.

global ignore pattern:

*.o *.lo *.la *.al .libs *.so *.so.[0-9]* *.a *.pyc *.pyo __pycache__ *.rej *~ #*# .#* .*.swp .DS_Store [Tt]humbs.db

none of those files exist in the folder in question

under properties they are all grey and none applicable to the files in this folder.

other people in my team have also mentioned this is happening to them so its more a global issue with the project.

if they're shown, whether gray or not means that they are applicable to the files in the folder.

So why to files without that extension not show up in the unversioned files?
