Listing files with 'Share Links'

Post by mtest11111 » Fri Jun 04, 2010 5:17 am

Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question but is it possible to produce a list of files and 'Share Links' details within a folder, including sub-folders, of the Fortress repository that have 'Share Links' set?

The 'Search by' doesn't list 'Share Links' as an option and using the 'History Favorites' with actions 'Share' and 'Branch' checked doesn't seem to work.

The reason I ask is that I have tended to share files across one or more web projects and I'm now wondering if I should consolidate in order to make it easier to manage the code.

Fortress client and server details are as follows:
Fortress Client Version: 2.0.1.18729
.Net Framework Version: 2.0.50727.4200
Fortress Server Version: 2.0.1.18729
.Net Framework Version: 2.0.50727.4200

Many thanks

What happens when you run a history query with the share and branch selected? Are you not getting any results? Skip using History Favorites for a moment and try using Show History.

Sharing across web projects seems fine to me. When you say consolidate code, are you suggesting having the website refer to files that are outside the web folder? If so, you may solve one thing with that change, but you bring in several other potential issues.

Beth,

I am getting a list of files (2) and directories (7) when I use 'Show History...' with actions 'Branch' and 'Share' checked but it's shorter than the list of files (approximately 25) I compiled manually going through each of the directories in turn.

Perhaps the action 'Share' is not always being recorded because when I checked the 'Show History..' before and after I shared a file it showed only the one entry, i.e. when it was created, on both occasions.

It's difficult for me to fully explain what I'm aiming or trying to do when I use the term 'consolidate' as my understanding of the various applications (SourceGear Fortress, Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and JCX.Software VS.PHP) and software management is incomplete.

Many thanks,

Meirion

It might help if I can see what it's doing. Could you send an email to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this forum thread?
