Missing files while adding to SourceSafe

[bjohnson1245]

I'm using VisualBuild pro to automate our build process, and I'm wanting to add the source code that is currently in production to it's own branch in SourceSafe.

This works, kinda, I have to specify file types to add. For instance:

SourceSafe Step with an Database Attribute of 'Add' I have to include these file types

*.dll
*.exe
*.ocx
*.txt ...

in order for those file types to be added to SourceSafe.

I was hoping that someone knew of a work around for this. Or can tell me if I'm missing something.

Thanks in advance.

The Relevant_Masks value in Source Safe needs to include the extensions you add by default, otherwise you need to explicitly specify them when adding new files (as you mentioned).

You can either modify this value using Source Safe GUI application (Tools | Options -> File Types [tab]) or by editing the appropriate srcsafe.ini file directly. See the Source Safe help file for more details, just search for "Relevant_Masks".

Note: When adding files via the Source Safe GUI, other masks can be defined and used (such as "VB", etc), but these cannot be used outside of the GUI (such as when Visual Build Professional invokes Source Safe functionality via the command-line).

That worked like a charm.
