Switching between working copies with large ignore dirs

Hi,
we are having troubles with the long waiting/scanning time when we switch from one working copy to an other. We have detected that the problem has something to do with some of the ignored folders inside the project. When we clear the content inside an ignored folder (eg. the product image folder with more then 10.000 images) it is working fine.

The projects are on a network share, and we need these folder to do some real testing, which is fine because we can ignore them within the svn project. What I do not understand is why SyncroSVNclient also seems to scan the complete content of ignored folders... Why? The folder is ignored, so it doesn't have to look for what's beneath ?

Is there perhaps some setting which can force the client to completely ignore a folder?

Some advise please, our support department is suffering with this while they have to switch between working copies several times a day, with waiting times of more then 10 minutes sometimes...

Hello,

In the current version all the folders of the working copy are parsed when a working copy is loaded. We are working on an improvement for working copies with ignored files and folders. The content of the ignored folders will be parsed only if the option Show Ignored Files is enabled on the toolbar of the Working Copy view. This will improve the speed of the working copy switch operation.

Sorin

Hello,

We implemented a fix for this problem. When the option Show Ignored Files is disabled on the toolbar of the Working Copy view the ignored folders are not parsed and the load time is two times shorter. We can provide a build of SVN Client if you want to test it.

We implemented a better improvement for the ignored folders and now the speed of loading a working copy when it contains an ignored folder with thousands of files is much faster. Just let us know if you want to provide for you a build of the SVN client that includes this.

Perhaps a bit late now, but yes. Visiting the site cause I was preparing to order the new update... Is it also included in the new release? Then we can test it also?

Hello,

Yes, of course the speed improvement will be included in all versions following the date of implementing it. You should try version 5.0.
