Doing stuff across several files/folderss

[selfgov2000]

Is it possible to label all files on or before a specific date in a branch without doing it to each file individually?

Also, If I move to a new working folder, for instance, and get latest there, do I actually have to go into each folder and show differences for the software to decide to update the status of local files?

Thanks,

You can do this from the history dialog. Do a history by version (which is a radio button in the history query/filter main tab), and then you can label a folder at a specific version, and it will apply to the versions of all files recursively in that folder at the time of that folder version.

Also, If I move to a new working folder, for instance, and get latest there, do I actually have to go into each folder and show differences for the software to decide to update the status of local files?

I'm not quite sure I follow. If you change the working folder to a new location, the status should be updated immediately in the GUI client. If there are files in the new working folder with the same name, a Get Latest should resolve the Unknown status of the files.

Thanks on the label thing. I hadn't yet figured out that there was an overall version number at the folder level.

On the status update, I believe I had first done a get latest to the folder, then set the working folder, and had to do a show diff in each folder for the gui to figure out the status.

Ah, I see. A Get Latest should resolve the files it can without having to diff each folder separately.
