The File List in the SourceOffSite
Client displays a listing of the current state of the SourceSafe database as
communicated by the Server. It is possible that this list may become outdated
as changes happen in the database. It may be necessary to refresh this view to
ensure that information displayed is up to date. The Refresh File List command
will refresh the view of the files list in the current directory.
The SourceOffSite Client communicates with the Server for file list information on two occasions:
· When an automatic refresh operation occurs (optional)
· The first time a project folder is selected during a session
Any subsequent time that directory is clicked in that session, the file list information will be taken from a cached file on the client machine named <databaseX>.sos.
After the SourceOffSite Client is exited and restarted, a new session begins and the process of communicating with the SourceOffSite Server for the file list of each newly clicked directory begins again.
To refresh the file list on an open project, click the Refresh File List button or choose the Refresh File List command from the View menu.
It is possible to configure SourceOffSite to perform a Refresh File List automatically through the View tab of the Options dialog. This capability is similar to SourceSafe. However, because SourceOffSite is more commonly used over slow connections using PPP and a modem, the default setting for the automatic refresh feature is OFF.
Please note: The Refresh File List command is not recursive.
