Proper method for moving a directory

[brettski]

Greetings,

I am looking for the proper method of moving a directory in vault. If this is done, does the history reflect the move?

I have:

c:\src\shelf

I would like to move the shelf directory and all its contents to:

c:\src\bookshelf

What is the proper method of doing this?
We only use the Vault GUI with a CVS style.

Thanks.

Perhaps this was to simple of an example since the directory could of simply been renamed what about moving:
C:\src\deep\deeper\stuff

to

C:\src\stuff

Can this be done and retain history of the folder or indicate that it was moved?

Or, is it just a case of the directory and all of its files where deleted at some point and another directory was added?

Thank you for your time.

Unlike other version control tools, Vault fully supports renames / moves. So when a folder is moved within the Vault GUI client, the folder and all its contents ( including all history items ) are actually moved. It is not the case that a new folder is created.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't see a method for moving directories (or files for that matter) around. I only notice a rename feature which doesn't allow paths.

What happens when I move folders or files around in my work space? These don't appear to be noticed up by the GUI.

Moving around files on your local disk does not work.

Move is available from the "File" menu. Search for Move within help, or see the on-line documentation - http://download.sourcegear.com/misc/vau ... /move2.htm

Hence the some of the other posts I have read.

Thanks for the pointer to the File Menu. I definitely feel ignorant.

I think this post indicates that putting the Move command on the right-click menu in the Source Tree might be useful. Most times when I try to invoke the Move command, I right-click on the folder first, before remembering that I need to look at the File menu.
