Hiding files in Pending Change Set

Post by iain.waddell » Thu Jan 10, 2013 9:20 am

I have to edit the .NET config files on my PC to configure for local databases etc. These files are in Vault (v5.1.1) and show up in the "Pending Change Set" tab. Recently I've started working on more projects and I now have over a dozen of these files.

Is there any way to hide these files from the "Pending Change Set" tab as I don't want to commit my changes and it's sometimes difficult to spot the files I want to commit amongst the "noise" from these files.

There isn't a way to hide files from Vault while having them in source control.

I heard of one developer who turned off the option "Require Check Out Before Check In" in the Vault Tools - Options - Concurrent Development Style so that some files he didn't want to deal with would go Renegade instead of Edited as long as they weren't checked out. You might try that out.

If you never version those files, then they might not really need to be in Vault at all.

We're working in CMS mode, so I don't think that will help.

The files are shipped to the customer and can change, but I won't be the one changing them prior to shipping and I definitely don't want my customisation back in Vault.

Oh well I thought I'd ask in case there was a hidden feature I didn't know about.

I can put in a feature request for this functionality.

That database isn't open to the public. I have this thread referenced in the post.

We still have the feature request. It's hasn't been scheduled yet, but it's still under consideration.

Has this request been rejected? Crossing my fingers doesn't seem to have helped.

The request is definitely not rejected. We have some ideas of what we'd like to do with the pending change set that would cover this and several other things people want.

Beth,

I see the F number has changed. Does that mean the original request was closed?

No, that was to remind myself to look at that one as well and I've tied them together. That's one that represents one of the ideas they had. Otherwise when I look at this again, I won't know where to look.

Since this request didn't get anywhere, as an alternative would it be possible to filter the Pending Change Set based on date?

For example I could mark all files I didn't want to see in the pending list with a date in 1999 and set the filter to only show changes since 2007.

We have something we're working for this currently. We're hoping to be able to make multiple pending change sets, so you could have one that holds what you are interested in seeing. The goal is Vault 10, but I can't guarantee that yet.
