Use TortoiseSVN overlay icons (green check, red exclamation, etc)

Rather than blue/red circles, why not use the tried and true Tortoise SVN overlay icons? Green check, red exclamation, blue plus, etc.

I’m afraid that we will not be implementing this suggestion. SQL Source Control works with many different version control systems, not just SVN, so the icons which are familiar to SVN users may not be familiar to users of other version control systems.

    I would expand the scope of this feature request in two ways:

    First, I think the best fix for this would be when the developer specifies a source control system (e.g Subversion or TFS) at the time of linking the database to source control, SQL Source Control should then automatically apply the appropriate icon set; no further action on the part of the user should be needed.

    Second, this should apply not just to icons but also to context menu actions, e.g. instead of the generic "Get latest changes from source control" it should instead say "SVN Update" for a Subversion system.

    As Lucent has suggested, it would be helpful to have a configurable option for the icon set.

    Perhaps a user configurable option to choose the icon set?

    One of the problems is that SQL Source Control is not just for subversion users. We also support Team Foundation Server currently and may support even more source control systems in the future.

    I too use SVN and would welcome some consistency.

    I was going to suggest the same thing. At least use the same colors as Tortoise if not the same overlays.
