On startup UEStudio doesn't check that open files (from the previous session) are part of a git repo (same may be true for other source control). The only method I've found for the status to be refreshed is to use the File Explorer tab.

Whilst the status is being refreshed as part of opening the tab the UI and Window is locked, I guess it's synchronous wait. This lock lasts for a number of minutes regardless of the number of files open. Whilst the Window is locked the user can't navigate away from UE without killing the process.

This has been a problem, for me, for a very long time. I don't use Project files if that's relevant.

Hello,
Here are a few potential workarounds and solutions you might consider:
Manual Refresh: Instead of relying on the File Explorer tab, you could try manually refreshing the Git status for individual files or directories. This might help avoid the UI lockup.
Update UEStudio: Ensure you are using the latest version of UEStudio. Sometimes, updates include performance improvements and bug fixes that might address this issue.
Git Integration Settings: Check your Git integration settings in UEStudio. Go to Advanced -> Configuration -> Integrated Applications -> Version Control Systems -> Git and ensure everything is configured correctly.
Contact Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to UEStudio support. They might have more specific advice or be able to provide a patch or update to resolve the problem.
Alternative Tools: If this issue significantly impacts your workflow, you might want to explore other editors or IDEs that offer better Git integration and performance.
