Moves & Renames in VS 2005

SourceGear,

I think we've talked about this before, but really strange things are happening when I attempt to change file or directory structures within VS 2005 with Vault 3.5. The following doesn't seem to work:

Move a file: The old file remains with the history, a new file is created with no history, resulting in duplicates

Rename a folder: Old folder remains with old files, new copy is created

Move a folder: Same thing happens

Do you all know about this? Is this a VS 2005 limitation? My understanding was that Microsoft upgraded the SCC API to be able to deal with this... thoughts?

Vault 3.5 does not contain support for moves and renames according to MSSCCI 1.3. The fix will be available in an upcoming Vault 3.5.1 release.

Unfortunately, the only viable work-around is to use the Vault GUI client for these operations, and then modify the project file to match.

Gotcha.

Now.... any rough estimates on 3.5.1? Week? Month? Quarter? Year? I promise not to hold you to it...

Thanks,
Andrew

About as close as I can get right now is to say this will be fixed sometime Q4 - 2006.

Note - This enhancement is not included in the current Vault 3.5.1 release - which was quickly released to address a problem with Date Time synchronization and a Visual Studio Dialog problem.

The enhancement will be in a more inclusive Vault 3.5 maintenance release which should be out later this year.
