Everything Pinned after import

I imported a branch from Sourcesafe into Vault and after it was complete all the files were pinned. So I thought ok I will just select them all and unpin them, except that as soon as you select mulitple items pin/unpin is greyed out. So I ended up writting a script to unpin all 77,000 files.

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

The problem here is why the import pinned all of your files.

We don't yet support a "recursive file pin" operation, so of course, there is no "recursive file unpin" either. Using the command line is the probably the best way to go to do this.

Does the import log have anything useful about why all the files were pinned?

I could not find anything of meaning in the log for that day.

Could it be because I imported a branch?

The import log that dan is referring to is located in the import tool's program files directory. I would appreciate a look at this log file in order to figure out why the files were pinned in Vault, but not pinned in VSS.
