Missing *.cache file extension in File Exclusions

[pfurini]

Hi
I was working on a project using Microsoft Expression Blend 3 and VS2008 at the same time.
I've noticed a file with the ext ".cache" appearing in the Pending Change Set.

After a fast research on google, I've found this article (there are others too):

I've added this file ext to the default file ext exclusions..
Maybe you might consider adding this in the default list in upcoming releases of Vault & Fortress.

Have a nice day.

I'm assuming you added it to the exclusion list in the Vault admin web page? That page is applied when one is adding a folder to Vault and there are files that need to be excluded at that time. That exclusion can be overridden by specifically selecting that file to add.

Visual Studio usually sends a command to add each individual item that it wants to add, which is the method to override the file exclusion list. Visual Studio has some method for deciding which items to add to source control and which to not add. That part we have no control over.

Right now there are two work-arounds. One is to use the Classic Client rather than the Enhanced Client. The Classic Client has a command called Exclude from Source Control, and you can use that on the .cache file.

Another work-around is to remove the .cache item from the pending check ins area.

If you prefer to use the Enhanced Client, I have a feature request open to make an "Exclude from Source Control" command for that client as well. I can add your vote to that feature if you would like.
