Hello,

I'm currently testing TOPCASED for collaborative work, using TOPCASED. But 
unfortunately, I encountered a serious problem. Here's my test setup:

I have two computers connected to a network drive, one using Win XP 32 bit and 
the other Win 7 64 bit. Both are running TOPCASED. The first one has a project 
I want to share. Now I'm using TortoiseSVN to create a repository on the 
network drive.  Then I'm using the Collaborative Work tutorial (Team -> Share 
Project) to put my project into the repository. Next step is loading the 
project from the repository into the Win 7 machine. I'm doing this via File -> 
New -> Other -> Project from SVN.
Now I have the project on both PCs and hooked up to the same repository, with 
all SVN commands (Commit, Update, etc.) available. But now it gets confusing:

When I change the project on one PC, commit to the repository, and update the 
local project on the other PC,  the History option there correctly shows me the 
new revision. But NO changes have been inherited. When I close TOPCASED now and 
restart it again, only THEN I do see changes. Moreover, when I work further 
with the updated (but unchanged) local project and commit those changes, the 
ones before are forfeit.

That my be a little complicated to understand, so here's a little example with 
a project containing only ONE diagram but several comments.

So here's our starting point, two PCs, both connected to the repository and 
revision 1 with ONE comment

PC 1, Revision 1: Comment 1
PC 2, Revision 1: Comment 1

Now I'm adding a second comment to PC 2 and commit my changes to the 
repository. But I'm not (yet) updating PC 2:

PC 1, Revision 2: Comment 1, Comment 2
PC 2, Revision 1: Comment 1

Now I'm updating PC 2 and the trouble begins.

PC 1, Revision 2: Comment 1, Comment 2
PC 2, Revision 2: Comment 1

As you can see, despite being in the right revision (#2), Comment 2 is missing 
- PC 2 is STILL displaying the same project as when being in revision 1.
Now I have two choices. Choice one would be a restart of TOPCASED on PC 2:

PC 1, Revision 2: Comment 1, Comment 2
PC 2, Revision 2 (after TOPCASED restart): Comment 1, Comment 2

Choice two would be ignoring that changes haven't been applied and working 
further. So now I'm adding a Comment 3 on PC 2 and commit my changes to the 
repository:

PC 1, Revision 2: Comment, Comment 2
PC 2, Revision 3: Comment 1, Comment 3

Next step would be updating PC 1 to revision 3 and restarting to see the 
changes. But now, Comment 2 is missing on PC 1 as well!

PC 1, Revision 3: Comment 1, Comment 3
PC 2, Revision 3: Comment 1, Comment 3


F5 or right button -> refresh didn't work either…


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all answers.
