Feature Request: Detect New *Folders*

[adamswann]

I've seen another post related to this topic, but I wanted to start my own topic to make it abundantly clear what I am asking, in the hopes that other users will chime in with either a workaround or a vote of support:

In Vault, I can press Ctrl-T and the client will dutifully suggest new files to add to the repository. The same is not true, however, for folders. As far as I can tell, there is no way to detect folders that have been added to the Working Folder.

There are two workarounds:

1. Turn on the "Show non-version-controlled folders ghosted in folder tree" option, and then expand every single folder in my repository looking for any that might have been added.
2. Wait for my coworkers and/or CruiseControl.NET to send me a "Hey Idiot, You Broke the Build!" nastygram.

Our typical project contains at least dozens and more likely hundreds of folders, so option #1 is somewhat impractical.

Our team of nine developers has been using Vault since 2004, and I can't imagine life without it -- the addition of this one feature would bring it to perfection.

It would make my day to get this added to Vault! I've been using Vault for a number of years now, and I still miss new folders from time to time. Having the detect new files feature also detect new folders would be great.

Thanks!

Yes. This would make Vault so much more user-friendly.

You know, I made an account on this forum just so I could post in this topic. I really want this feature.

Thanks.

I would like to add a vote for this issue. While the ghosting feature is nice to have I find it very slow to use. And navigating through each folder to find new ones is very tedious. Detecting "New Folders" would improve our process greatly.

Got it. Thanks for the feedback.
