Please let me know if it works for you.

Thanks

thanks for your feedback!

Adding buttons to the solution explorers context menu is on my personal wishlist and will be added eventually. Probably after I’ve sorted the non en-US resource problem.

For the second feature, I guess you refer to overlay icons in the solution explorer that show the svn status of a particular file. I’ve thought about this too, but all solutions I mentally came up with require file system hooks to get notified when the svn status of a file has changed outside of Visual Studio.

Here is why I’ve not added this feature to VsTortoise yet:

1) I don’t want to install anything that would slow-down the system or IDE and file system hooks kinda do I guess. It makes it also pretty complicated and error-prone (i guess).

2) When I drop the file system hooks idea, the solution explorer svn status icons could run out of sync with the actual status if you perform a commit outside Visual Studio for example. I’m not really sure if out-of-sync-icons are a big problem, but showing no status rather than an incorrect status was the better choice for me so far.

3) On the other hand, I could ignore all svn operations done outside of Visual Studio, live with the out-of-sync-icons problem, provide a “Refresh” button.

I’m not really happy with any of the three points so far

But since we’re talking about feedback I figured I’d give a few suggestions:

- I wish there was a way to be able to directly manipulate the files in the solution explorer without opening it, perhaps something like right-clicking on the file and getting an SVN menu would be enough.
- It’d be nice to see that tortoise feature where it tells you if the file is modified, not added, or untouched.
