Filtering the file display in the working tree

[nissy R]

In the file status screen of SourceTree, you can filter the files in the working tree, right?

Can you change the initial setting of this filter?

Whenever I launch SourceTree, it shows “conflicting files”, but I want it to show “all files”.

I think the default setting is conflicting files, but I would be happy if someone knows how to change this default setting.

Hi @nissy R

From my experience, Sourcetree doesn’t have a global setting for the initial working copy filter. It remembers your last choice for each repository, so if you select 'All' and then reopen the repo, it usually stays that way.
If it keeps defaulting back to 'Conflicts' every time you launch it, that’s often because Sourcetree is automatically showing the Conflicts view, which happens when there are unresolved merge conflicts in the working tree. Once you resolve and stage those conflicts, the view should stop defaulting to Conflicts.
I recommend resolving or canceling any open merge, setting the filter to 'All', and then closing and reopening the repository tab. When you notice this happening, check whether the repository is clean or if there are still lingering conflicts.
