In 1.8 all properties are automatically inherited. Tortoise SVN shows those as gray so you know they were inherited. That said, the 1.8 client only acts on specific properties that were inherited. svn:global-ignores and svn:auto-props. I think there was some talk on the TSVN list to have a check box to "show inherited". But, not sure if that will happen. > > Thanks for your help. I think it's under control now. BOb
