The IDE determines a file's status by using the Refresh command to call the appropriate command in the version control system. Refreshes, particularly on large directories, can take a long time. So, by default, automatic refreshes are done on files only when you expand the node of the folder that contains them. It is a good idea to refresh after major changes in your version control directory structure.
To manually refresh file status information for a file or directory:
If you want to refresh all files in the subdirectories as well, choose Refresh Recursively.
To configure automatic refreshing for a VCS filesystem:
If you want to configure the refresh rate for all VCS filesystems, choose
Tools Options from the
main window. Then expand Source Creation and Management, select Version Control
Settings, and set the Auto Refresh property.
When a VCS filesystem is in Offline Mode, the IDE does not try to refresh status information for its contents. The IDE guesses the status of files using cache information. You can run VCS commands, including manual refreshes, on VCS filesystems that are in Offline Mode.
To set a VCS filesystem to Offline Mode:
