Changeset for files from different folders

Hello!

I have a .net 2.0 developer who has checked out about 25 files from different folder locations within one Team Project in TFS. He has another situation where working on one project file in the solution creates many html files, etc (Not in source control).

Now, when he checks in his changes, the pending checkin window lists all the files he checked out plus all the additional files he has created - all this add upto more than 50 files.

Now, he has to go through the entire list to select a couple of files he wants to checkin as a change set.

Instead, is there a way where he can selectively pick the files from different folders from the source control explorer window (Like holding down a cntrl key) so he can get them in as one changeset

OR

Have the pending changes window display only the files he has checked out or try adding to source control

Thanks!

    Hi,

    You can also check-out and edit the different files in 2 different workspaces.

    When you check-in in one workspace you will not see the files in the other workspace.

    One thing he could do is shelve all the html files. From the root of his workspace, tf shelve HtmlFiles *.html /r /move. Then refresh the Pending Changes window -- the html files will be gone from the list. When he's ready to checkin the html files, he can unshelve the HtmlFiles shelveset.

    If the html files are not part of the solution, a quicker way would be to click the "filter by solution" button (it's the one next to the Workspaces dropdown).
