Newly added files get status Missing - is it correct?

If I add a project to vault from Visual Studio, the status of all files becomes checked in.

But If I add a file from folder to Vault using Vault interface, its status becomes Missing.

Is it correct?

yes, this is correct.

when you add a file from the vault gui client (unless the file exists in the working directory from which it was added), the file is considered missing until you invoke the "get to working folder" on those files just added. only when the vault client has retrieved a file from the repository will a file move from missing to (blank).

when you add a file from within vs.net, the ide usually turns around, and gets the file(s) to your working folder.
