Get Latest Paradigm

[Jared Sullivan]

Hi,

I often use VSS\SOS to store DLLs, when these are updated via various organizations i.e. (codeplex.com) I delete the old one from server using VSS Explorer, and re-add it, when I get latest version from my remote machine it reports version is 1, and the Get Latest version fails. Event edit fails to update version.

This sounds OK by itself as a feature, but then I push "Refresh File List" and that fails too. So my question is how do I work around this, Refresh File List seems a bit shallow, and do you have plans to add MD5 to file versions as well, since I can make version 1 different to version 1 on my remote machine.

BTW, only way to pull it down is to delete old DLL from my remote machine and do average Get or Check out.

Thanks
Jared Sullivan

When you perform the Get, what options are you choosing? Are you allowing it to overwrite, or are you using the Attempt Automatic Merge?

I think what is happening is that as far as the cache knows, everything is up to date. A show differences should update that as well as a check out.

I'm checking to see what is the best way to deal with this and will post back.
