Automatic synchronisation not working between NSF and on-disk projects

I finally found some time to experiment with how to use source control in Designer. First thing I did was to setup an on-disk project: right click an application and click Team Development > “Set up source control for this application”. I let it create an on-disk project and added/ changed/ removed some design elements.

From what I knew it should automatically synchronize all those changes with the on-disk version of the application. It didn’t…

Took me quite some time (including a Designer re-install) to figure out that this was caused by the fact that I turned of the “Build automatically” option. Apparently the synchronisation process is tied to the build process.

Before committing I’ll test and to be able to test I’ll have to build, so it’s not a big deal. Just something you have to be aware off…
