Excluding certain file extensions from Bulk Add

Question

Hi all,

I am using SourceSafe 6.0 and I'm trying to add a large folder tree to source control (hundreds of folders and thousands of Delphi source code files).

This works fine using the Add Folder command. However, it is adding all files to the Project, including the Delphi backup files (i.e. .~pas extension).

Is there any way to tell VSS to not add certain file extensions (.~pas for example)? Adding one folder at a time would not be practical since there are so many folders.

Thanks!

Please view this document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/library/f5z262kz(VS.80).aspx it is same with VSS 6.0. And please read this document also: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/89xwcby0(VS.80).aspx 

You could set the <Relevant Masks> as !*.~pas  etc, to exclude the file types you do not want to add into the VSS DB.
