I used to select Check In All and when I was done checking in files my Pending Check-Ins list would be empty. Now there's always this one file associated with Analyzer, which I've never used, that doesn't go away. As far as I know it doesn't get checked in either. I don't know what it is or why it's there...it's embarrassing, like a bit of toilet paper sticking to the heel of my shoe, but scarier. Anyone else seen this or know what it is?
It calls itself "Content9.s3db".

Re: Strange lodger in my Pending Check-ins list
The Content9.s3db file is a SQLite database file that is used by Flare. I think that the main purpose of this file is to speed up the turnaround time when you generate a report in Flare.
In theory, you could close your Flare project, delete the Analyzer folder (or better still back it up by moving it elsewhere - just in case), then reopen Flare and see if the problem is resolved. Flare will eventually regenerate this file automatically.

Re: Strange lodger in my Pending Check-ins list
I closed Flare, removed that Analyzer folder, then reopened Flare and the file is still there. And the folder is back, replaced immediately. I know how this game goes. I'm going to leave it alone. From your description it doesn't sound like it's harming anything. Thanks Paulie.

Hey Matt,
All you need in source control is the Flare project file, Contents folder, and Project folder. Anything else will cause these issues.
I would unversion the Analyzer folder (and the Output folder if you have it in source control too).
I find that you'll eventually get similar problem files in the Project\Users folder. So I unversion that as well.

Hi Andy,
I just saw this reply from you. Thanks for responding. When you say I should "unversion" a thing, you mean remove it from source control?

Hey Matt,
If you have TortoiseSVN installed (and you should for cleaning up all of the little things that Flare's SVN client doesn't do well) right click the folder and select TortoiseSVN > Unversion and add to ignore list; then choose the recursive option in the resulting list. Check in the change and those files should trouble you no longer.

Hi Andy,
Although I prefer SVN by a mile, my stuff's actually in Team Foundation Server (TFS). Still, this is helpful. I'm sure TFS has a similar ignore function. I'll poke around. Thanks for the response!
