Feature Request - Need to Get Latest

Post by ZackJones » Mon Apr 03, 2006 3:04 pm

If this capability doesn't already exist could the VS.Net plug in be modified so that when you first load a project if there's updated files in source control that it prompts you to perform a get latest.

Perhaps users could configure Vault to only prompt once per day or to prompt anytime vault detects that a file in the repository is newer than one on the local development machine.

There is an option in VS.NET in Tools->Options->Source Control->General to "Get everything when a solution is opened." This is basically a Get Latest.

Since Vault keeps track of file states, it should get only updates, not entire copies of files if they've been previously retrieved.

Does this help?

Yes that will help, thanks, I'll give it a try. Some of our developers are better than others at doing a Get Latest each day before starting to work on a project. This should help keep everyone working on the most current files.
