[TxMt] Re: SCM Status

[Robert J. Rockefeller]

Thanks for the details.

I tried three different projects and each shows the same disabled text when I click the Show Source Control Management Status button at the bottom of the file pane.

The bundles Git and SCM are enabled. 

The path to one of the projects, typical of them all, is:

/Users/bob/Dropbox/SyncedSites/vhosts/www.br.dev

.tm_properties doesn’t call for SCM to be disabled and one of the projects has no .tm_properties file at all.

Is there somewhere else I can be checking?

For example if you are using a virtual file system that is incorrectly reported as non-local, you can create a .tm_properties setting to enable SCM status for this file system, for example place it in the root of your project and let it contain this line:
