   Question about TortoiseSVN
  Hi all!!I am testing TortoiseSVN for my next little project. All is working fine as expected but I have the next problem: When I change a TXT file in computer #1, for example, and save it, I can see the (!) icon on the file. I commit the change and turns into (V) icon. All is so nice until I go to computer #2 with a folder linked to the same repository and with the same file and TortoiseSVN doesn't notifies me that this file is out to date. I expected to see the (!) icon in the computer #2 but instead I see the (V) icon. Is this behaviour normal? Can I change it to what I'd like? =)I have checked another clients of SVN and I found RapidSVN, which has this functionality ( In the menu View -> Refresh with update ) so I guess I'm missing something in TortoiseSVN...Many thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor english =)< MChiz >   
Quote:I expected to see the (!) icon in the computer #2 but instead I see the (V) icon. Is this behaviour normal? Can I change it to what I'd like? =)Yes, that's normal. The (!) icon signifies a *local change* not that the *file is out of date.* SVN is request-driven, it does not periodically poll the repository; you have to run an update or similar command for it to notice that local files are different than the repository versions.A more robust GUI client might be able to do what you want, or you could set up a periodic cron-like action via the OS to run a nonmodifying update every so often, but that's a lot of work for a feature that's pretty useless in practice.;  Hi!Thanks for your fast answer =)I don't think this feature is useless because it doesn't force me to do an update everytime I want to check if someone has finished some work, for example. I'd like to have the 'Check for modifications' command functionality but integrated with the icons overlays. I don't see why I should use one interface to commit, update, etc. and another to check for modifications. But maybe I'll be forced to do =)I understand what you tell me, but there is a section in the help of TortoiseSVN that makes me doubt:5.7. Getting Status InformationWhile you are working on your working copy you often need to know which files you have changed/added/removed or renamed, or even which files got changed and committed by others. I'd like to know of people who had used RapidSVN. I like the TortoiseSVN auto-prop to give properties to specific file types, but I can't find this functionality in RapidSVN.Thanks to all< MChiz >[Edited by - MChiz on September 17, 2007 11:53:46 AM]
