The project tree view in the
SourceOffSite Client displays a listing of the state of the SourceSafe database
as communicated by the SourceOffSite Server. However, this view may become
outdated as changes are made to the database. It will be necessary to manually
refresh the project tree view to ensure that the displayed information is up-to-date.
The Refresh Project Tree operation retrieves the most recent folder hierarchy from the Server and updates the tree view accordingly. This operation must be manually performed in SourceOffSite when projects have been added or deleted in the SourceSafe database. The Refresh Project Tree command refreshes the project hierarchy for the currently selected folder and all its descendants.
To refresh the view of the project tree, highlight the desired project. Then, click the Refresh Project Tree button or select the Refresh Project Tree command from either the View menu or by right-clicking.
The tree must be refreshed a level above the level of the added or deleted projects. Clicking on the Refresh Project Tree button while a parent project is highlighted will synchronize the subprojects in the SourceOffSite Client with the SourceSafe database.
If this command is performed from the root folder, it may be a slow operation as it requires the Server to traverse the entire SourceSafe database.
