Get files by label

Post by Efe » Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:25 pm

I am trying to get all files in a project with a specific lable name. When I try pulling up the history and showing file labels, the get button is diabled in the GUI. Is there a way to get these files?

I could use more information.

Was the label applied to the file or to the project?
What specific steps are you following to pull up history and show file labels?

What version of SOS Client and SOS server are you using?

Thanks for the response.

The labels were applied to a set of files, not the entire project.
Steps
Right click on project and select Show History
Check Include file histories check box
I see my subset of labeled files in the history list, but the Get button is disabled.

SOS Client version is 4.2
SOS Server version is 4.2

Thanks

SOS does not support getting a file by label from the project level if the label was applied to the file, rather than to the project.

To get a file by label, you would need to show history on the file, then do a get.

Another option is to label the parent project, though a Get would retrieve more files that you might need, since the entire folder is labeled.
