Feature Suggestions

Hello,

Two features suggestions;

1. A common occurrence when working with VSNet 2005 + Vault is that a file is checked out by another team member. It would be very handy if I could see in VSNet2005 who checked the file out, saves me from going to the client. I would use this function very often.

2. This is a little bit more advanced, but would be cool. What if you could see the edit history of just a single method. A lot of times when requesting the current history function I'm only looking at a single method.

My 2 cents..

Regards,

Ward

We're not able to do this with the current MSSCCI integration, but Vault 4.0 will support VSIP integration, which gives us more options for integration.

I'll log a feature request for the ability to see usernames with checkouts.

A colleague pointed out to me that you can see who checked out a file by selecting the file the in Visual Studio, then look under File->Source Control->SourceGear Vault Properties. You can see the checkout status information, including the name of the user who checked out the file and the machine and local path to which it is checked out.
