Also, the only way I can get a "normal (+)" status is by moving the parent folder and then merge that. And in that case, the files really haven't been modified. Also: if you right-click on the list control header, you can select more columns, for example "text status" and "property status". Sometimes those can show more info. Apart from that: I can't really show a "wrong" status here: if the svn lib reports the status as "normal", TSVN has to show exactly that. What I will do is change the color of an item with history, i.e. if the "(+)" is shown. > > 2) I did not know the meaning of "+", so I eventually looked it up and via > stackoverflow I found > https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-wcstatus.html. > This page says, " Purple: Added items.
