Disable background refresh

One of our developers would like the ability to display the background process that refreshes what has changed. They would then be forced to press the refresh button but they understand and would prefer this method.    Is there a way to disable the background refreshing?    Thank you in advance.

Hi there,  Each user will have to do this for each of their working copies, but it is possible. There's a dropdown arrow just above the 'transactions' window (by default in the bottom right of the main SmartSVN window) - click that then 'Settings', then choose the 'Refresh' tab and untick all boxes (the top one should be unticked by default). That should stop it happening, please let us know if it's still refreshing automatically though once you've done that?

I'm sorry, I worded that incorrectly. It's not the transactions she wants to stop refreshing but the updated files as shown in the Files window. As it works when freshly installed if I create a working copy then modify a file in that working copy that modified file will show within the Files window. My coworker would like it so she has to press the Refresh button before that file shows up in the Files window.   Brian

There's a tickbox for 'Refresh after a command changed the working copy' in the transactions option I mentioned in my previous post, does that not do what's required there? It should do if your coworker is opening and editing files through SmartSVN, I believe you still need to manually refresh if the files are edited outside of SmartSVN anyway.
