How To.

Hello,

I would like to clarify before people jump to wrong conclusion.

I am not looking for an “Auto Update” and not wanting the “Check-for-modifications” Dialog box

I was wondering if it would be possible to have Tortoise check the repository status in the background [slowly so it doesn’t hog the system]

Maybe once an hour or [user defined time] or maybe computer start up.

But not give the dialog box that there are updates, just change the “overlay icon” similar to the “Modified” overlay when a user changes a file on the computer, except this one just says the servers version has been modified.

I know you have said there is a system limitation on useable overlays, so maybe make this an “Opt-in” option rather than a core feature?

At the very least a command line feature for it so that way it would be possible to make a few “Cron  Jobs” or “Scheduled Tasks”.

Hopfully I would be possible to specify the directory to check too, that way you could set it to check different folders based on different requirements.

For instance the ENTIRE repository every 2 days or so, but maybe set a certain directory to check every hour..

I think this could be quite useful.

Thank you for your time and great program.
