New files in my project dont get auto added (atleast not auto tagged)

[pagupta]

I have SlickEdit 2012 (v17.0.3.0 64-bit)
--------------------------

In the Project Properties --> File Tab:

I add a recursive tree as :

Recursive , C:\projects\foo\*.*

I thought if I do that, if there a a new file under that path e.g. C:\projects\foo\bar\xyz.cpp , slick edit would automatically pick it up.

However I don't see that happening (as the contents of xyz.cpp don't get tagged).

I can close slick edit, delete the .vtg file , and then launch slick edit and then it auto-tags the new file.

Is there a way I can invoke the same effect without having to manually delete the .vtg file? Maybe something I can run from slick edit to say "re-evaluate all file and update tag"

How do you know it hasn't tagged the file?

You can go to tools => tag files, select your tag file (the workspace tag file), then inspect which files are in the tag file.  You can click "rebuild tag file" to rebuild.

Did you by chance not select the "Wildcard" option when you added your tree?

The "rebuild tag file" doesn't seem to help. Yes my directory is added with the 'wildcard' option.

My project has 4000+ file though. Could some maximums be preventing slick edit to stop picking up the new files?

According to the help file, the wildcard option means slick scans for new files when it starts, so maybe that's why restarting slick makes it work.
There's a macro here that might be useful

To refresh the files for a wildcard, use Project>Refresh.
