Moving&deleting files within the IDE

Post by Rachel Lavoie » Tue Dec 21, 2004 6:15 pm

hi,

I often re-organise my files in my projects to delete some and move other. Every times, the IDE pop-up me that the CSS will not take in concideration theses modifications and that's exactly what happens.

I have to open Vault client and clean the repository myself.

Is there a way to make Vault detect theses changes and upade the repository automatically?

This is a limitation of Visual Studio, which does not send rename or move commands to Vault so that the repository can be updated.

Procedure that we use to move/rename files in VSS Projects

This isn't the best, but it does keep the vault history of the files around.

1) In the vault client, share the files to the new location you want them to be.
2) Get the files to the new location.
3) In the IDE, EXCLUDE the files from the project in the old location
4) In the IDE, INCLUDE EXISTING FILES to the project using the new location.
5) Delete the files in the old location in the IDE (this removes the local copies)
6) Delete the files in the old location in vault client (this removes them
from the repository in the old location; they still exist in the new location with their history.

If the files aren't moving to a new directory, I would assume that you could simply rename the files through the Vault GUI.
