By default, SQL Source Control automatically refreshes the list of changes in the commit and get latest tabs when the focus on the tab is lost. This may be inconvenient when the operation is taking a while.

You can use the DisableAutoRefresh option to disable this behaviour -  when this option is On, refresh will run only when switching to a different database in the Object Explorer, after a commit or get latest or when you click the refresh button. 

To enable the DisableAutoRefresh option:

1. Close Management Studio.
2. Go to the SQL Source Control config files folder: %localappdata%\Red Gate\SQL Source Control 7

3. Open RedGate_SQLSourceControl_CommonUI_UIOptions.xml in a text editor.

4. Inside the <UIOptions> tags, add:

   <DisableAutoRefresh>True</DisableAutoRefresh>

   The file is case sensitive. Don't change the capitalization of the text.

5. Save the file.
