Searching for multiple statuses

Post by StuartHemming » Tue Dec 23, 2008 9:45 am

Apologies if this has been mentioned before. :)

It would be nice if it were possible to select multiple items in the 'Search By' combobox on the 'Search' pane.

On a (vaguely) related subject. If a colleague deletes a file from a project what 'Search By' value should I look for to identify that this file is no longer required? I know I will see it 'ghosted' in the top pane, but I don't think that is the same thing; there's no way to differentiate between just local files that I have in my working folder that aren't part of the project and those files that have been removed from it.

On the first item, I have logged a feature request for you.

On the second question, I assume when you say you deleted it from a project, you deleted it from a folder from inside Vault or was it deleted in Visual Studio?

If you are using IDE integration, then it is best to remove it from inside of VS so that it knows to adjust the project files.

Quite so. These are Delphi files so there is no IDE integration.

You could either run a history query on the folder and filter by the action Deleted, or you could right-click the parent folder, select properties and look at the list of deleted items there.

OK, thanks for that. Wouldn't it be better (read more intuitive) if there was an option on the search tab though? I mean, that's what we use to look for changes. I mean, we can use that to find both changed files and newly added files (using the 'missing' status) so the search tab seems to be the obvious choice.

I can put in a feature request for that functionality if you wish.
