Comment Dialog Box

Allows you to specify a comment for an Add Files, Share, or Merge Branches command.

Dialog Box Options

Comment

Enter a comment for this operation.

OK

Enters the selected comment(s) in the VSS database.

Cancel

Cancels the Add Files, Share, or Merge Branches command.

The following options are available only during an Add Files operation:

Apply same comment for all

Applies the same comment to all files involved in the Add Files operation.  If this check box is clear, you can enter a separate comment for each file. The default is checked (your comment is applied to all files selected for this operation).

Recursive

Indicates you want files in all subfolders added when you select an entire folder to add.  Available only when you select a folder and then click Add.

Advanced Options

Store Only Latest Version

Indicates you do not want to save old versions of the file(s) being added to the VSS database.  VSS keeps a file history of change records with comments.  However, the older versions of the file are not stored, and you cannot recover them.

Note   To increase performance and save disk space, use this option when storing executable programs in VSS.

Check Out Immediately

Checks out the file to you immediately after adding it to VSS.

Remove Local Copy

Deletes the file from your working folder after adding it to VSS.

File Type

Select an option from the list box:

Note   When adding a folder, VSS ignores the File Types field. However, VSS filters the files added during a folder Add Files operation by the Relevant_Masks setting on the File Types tab in the SourceSafe Options dialog box.
