How to stop automatic selection of files?

I've just upgraded my laptop (OSX Sequoia) with Sourcetree and VS Code

Previously Sourcetree would require that I select individually the files / directories that I want to commit.  But with this new version Sourcetree seems to automatically select files / directories that I am not ready to commit.

Is this a Sourcetree change or a VS Code change?

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can revert this option so that I select the files / directories I want to commit (and nothing is preselected)?

 

For example, using VS Code I edited a file SupmonitorQuery.php, made some changes and then saved the file.  When I refresh the file list in Sourcetree this file is now selected for commit.

Hey @murraycollingwood ,

Have you managed to sort this out?

This is probably related to Sourcetree rather than VS Code, but I couldn't find anything documented related to this change.

Did you maybe upgrade Sourcetree since this post? I see the latest version for Mac is 4.2.14.

You could check if there's an option to disable this under Preferences, but I'm guessing you've already checked that 👀

Cheers,
Tobi

I'm on 4.2.14.  

The problem didn't seem to last very long, and I can't remember how it was solved.

It's working now, thanks for getting back to me.
