List of files to review keeps growing and never gets cleared when using SVN

First of all thanks a lot for a great product it has improved so much in the last 6 months and is very stable and makes much less coding errors.

There is this little issue that has has been problematic since many months and is not getting fixed.

When using SVN as source control, the list of files keeps growing and there is no way to clear it.

Maybe add a button after “Review” to “Clear” ?

See in this screenshot there are 112 Files changed.

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the kind words and for the detailed report with a screenshot.

Here’s what’s happening: the changed files list next to Review gets cleared by git events when changes are committed or synced with git status. In an SVN workspace, those events don’t exist, so the list keeps growing until the end of the session. There’s no way to reset it manually right now. This isn’t something in your setup.

A couple things that can help right now:

  • The list is tied to a specific chat. If you start a new chat, it’ll start with a clean list. This is the safest way to reset it.
  • Important: don’t use Undo All to clear the list. That button doesn’t just remove entries, it reverts real file changes on disk. In a non-git workspace, that can cost you work.

I’ve passed the request for a Clear button, or clearing that doesn’t rely on git, to the team. I can’t share a timeline yet, but the idea is clear and makes sense. If there’s an update, I’ll reply here.
