Is there any way to set this recursively, or do I have to go through every one of about 100 folders in my project and set this manually?
In VSS there was a "Checkout Recursive and overwrite working folders" option, but I can't find one here...
Set Working Folder Recursive?

do you want to set working folders or checkout files?
1) set working folders - when a working folder is set, all sub-folders, which do not have an assigned working folder "inherit" the setting.
for example, if you set $/project_1 to c:\dev\project_1, then $/project_1/res will automatically map to c:\dev\project_1\res, assuming $/project_1/res has not been assigned a different working folder.
2) to checkout recursively, which is not recommended unless you are planning on modify all of those files, invoke the context menu on the folder and choose checkout.
assuming you have the checkout dialog set to display (or you hold down the shift key within the gui client during a checkout), make sure the "recursive" option is enabled.

What I wanted to do was switch the base for several projects from one directory to another - I moved the files, but Vault seemed to have put an explicit working folder on every single folder, because they all required manual adjustment.
In VSS you could just Get Latest or Check out, and tick the "Override Working Folder" which would basically replace the working folders in VSS...
