Soho Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Is there a way to checkout a folder recursively in the items explorer? I know that I can do it with the command line, but it would be nice to do it in the GUI also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soho Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Oh, while I am at it. The command line recursive checkout doesn't work if a private file exists in the some subfolder. This can be rather inconvenient at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm sorry, the recursive CO action was removed from the GUI. Regarding the issue with the private files, I'll insert the task to skip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psantosl Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 No need to co recursively anymore. It was a bad practice in 3.0 and we finally got rid of it in 4.0. We still keep it in the CLI for different reasons but it is a misleading feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soho Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 You are right. I used to have "Update and Checkin operations set files as read-only" checked, but I do not anymore. However, if you do use the read-only flag would it make sense to checkout recursively or should you just remove the read-only flag and Plastic will discover the changes? (Checking out recursively is more or less forced practice when using TFS if you want to update a whole tree of files for whatever reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
