Little question about an icon

[pouliotmax]

What does the icon in the attachment means?

That looks to be an icon representing a file in zip format.

Is your project bound to source control?

The icon you see means that a file has been slated to be deleted from source control. Or it could mean that a file was renamed or moved in the Flare project, and in source-control land, that actually means that there will be an Add and a Delete, and that icon is showing you the old filename.

[SteveS]

Where are you seeing the icon? And, does your screenshot include the cursor (thinking Nita is on the right track...)

[Nita Beck]

View the Pending Check-ins list. (You might need to refresh it; I think you can press F5.) Do you see that icon next to a file whose Status is Pending Delete?

I Think it shows this icon when i rename a topic. Yes i use source control

Yes, this icon appears next to the old filename because this will be a Delete in SVN. Sometimes I've found that Flare doesn't check in the Delete at the same time that it checks in the Rename/Move, so the delete will be hanging around until I explicitly check it in.

I see this icon whenever I rename a file in Flare that is under source control. To add a bit to what Nita said, as long as my file has this icon Flare goes through a check out process every time I save (even though it is already checked out). I'm assuming this is because of the layered status in SVN: the old version is marked for deletion and the new version is checked out. Explicitly checking the file in and then checking it out once again will restore the normal icon and behavior.

Trivial, really, but when you're using cloud-based source control every second adds to the time I spend staring at the spnning blue donut of contemplation.
