Problem with Working Directory in SOS 4.2

rodriguesds · Post by **rodriguesds** » Wed Feb 27, 2008 2:25 pm

I recently changed the working directory on a parent folder, and that worked fine, however, the working directory for the children folders does not refelect the new working directory - it's still showing the earlier working directory. Please advise what to do since I have several (more than 30) children folders and it would really be a pain to change them one by one. Thanks

Are you working in Visual Studio or in the SOS GUI Client?

VS 2005, Windows Server 2003

What steps did you take to change the parent working folder?

Right clicked on the folder in the tree and selected set working folder.
I fixed the issue by deleting the the database1.sos file.

The option to change a working folder by right-clicking the context menu doesn't exist in Visual Studio. So it was probably the case where you changed the working folder outside of Visual Studio, and then when you went back in, Visual Studio wasn't aware of the change.

Sorry - I wasn't clear - I made the change in the SOS client, and was not able to see that change reflected in the children folders in the SOS client.
