Deleting from Flare

Post by pdxwordsmith »

When I delete a file from the Content or Project Explorer, Flare goes out to lunch (not just coffee) - even after doing it's dependency check.

(I'm working locally, not over a network....)

Am I the only one who experiences this?

Are you using source control?

Also, I can't remember if the version of Analyzer inside Flare runs when a file is deleted (I think it does to check for [now] broken links), so you might have a corrupted database. You can shut down Flare (or just that project), use Windows Explorer to navigate to where your project is stored, then delete the entire Analyzer folder. When you next open that project in Flare it will automatically recreate the Analyzer folder. Of course, it will then run a scan of your entire project, so the first time it might be a bit delayed. But when it's done with the scan, see if deleting a file still causes that delay.

Thanks. No source control yet (hangs head). Source originally imported from Frame. I tried what you suggested... fingers crossed.
