Is there a way to search Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0d for all files tagged with a specific label?
AJ had the right idea, but you just need to use the "dir" command instead of get:
ss dir -v"LABEL" $\PROJECT -R
This will output each file with version that is at that label in the format of:
someFile.c;23
someOtherFile.h;3
<filename>;<version>
For those interested if you want to quickly tell what the latest version of a file is you can do:
ss dir -v. $\PROJECT -R
Have a great time!
I don't think you can search by label, but you can get by label.
From MSDN:
To get a version by label:
Make sure that you have set a working folder in Visual SourceSafe Explorer. See How to: Set the Working Folder.
Ensure that you have set the history options. See How to: View History.
Select the project that contains the file to retrieve.
On the Tools menu, click Show History.
In the History Options dialog box, select the version of the file to retrieve and click OK.
In the History of dialog box, click Get to retrieve the version of the file that you have chosen.
In the Get dialog box, make any additional entries needed and click OK to retrieve the file.
It does seem to be a failure on Microsofts part not to put in a simple search feature on the comments of checkins/checkouts.
I have found this
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/Schiott_SourceReport.aspx
It extracts all the comments you want to a text file.
You can get by label.
This may not be the same as searching by label.
Sourcesafe accepts a label as a valid version number, so it's the same syntax:
ss get -V"my label" $\myproject -R
this will get everything labelled my label from the myproject project.

Recently I scaffolded a project with webapp generator. It created two files .gitignore and .gitattributes. Both show a file extention of type Text Document But when I press F12 to edit any one's name then it has empty name. Here is the snapshot:
My question is why don't window show the name as .gitignore?
There is nothing special with those files. This visual guide may help you.
Also in Windows 10 you may simply try this option in View Tab of Folder Explorer:
After looking and reading closer, it seems that the "problem" is that with the default settings of Explorer "known" file-name extensions (like e.g. .txt) are just not shown.
So if you name a file .txt (full file-name) then it will show up as empty and with no name.
Dot-files are not having any "extension" to their file-name. The full file-name of e.g. the Git ignore file is .gitignore.
It comes from the Unix world where file-names doesn't have to follow the DOS and Windows name.ext scheme, and means that the file is hidden.
Windows since long allows arbitrary file-names as well, but in a name.ext scheme such files doesn't have a "name" only an extension.
Windows interprets .gitignore as an empty file name with the extension "gitignore", and thus shows an empty name be default. To properly see its name, open the folder's properties and check the "Show All File Extensions" option.
I don't have an answer, but I have a preference. I'd prefer not to show all extensions just to be able to see my .gitignore files in Windows10 file explorer.
I'm hoping to extend OP's question by showing I DO SEE .babelrc and .eslintrc, and w/o seeing all file extension setting being set to "on".
It seems, on my own system, that the associations for BABELRC and ESLINT(RC|IGNORE) are, maybe, set automatically by VSCode? In any case, why can I see those "." files, while the in.json is showing with hidden extension, but I can't see .gitignore?
I'm getting text like A,M,? etc after filename in Xcode. This seems to appear after setting up project on SVN. How to remove this one?
They are source control markers
A = added
M = modified
? = not added
If you dont want them there dont create your project with source control on. Make sure the circled box isnt ticked.
Creating anything other than a discardable project without source control is going to make you sad one day.
Learn about Source Control and use it if you are serious about development.
These notations basically tells you about project's files current condition at SVN or server that is hosting your code repository and your local repository. For instance, if you add a new file/class/anything you will see 'A', if you do changes in a file you will see 'M'.
If you still want to remove these words in XCode go to :
file > source control > commit
a window will appear that shows the the changes you have done in files & press commit button. After that these words will be removed.
But wait, before doing anything read about "source control".
Atleast read about these things:
Revisions
Commits
Updates
I know the ID of a changeset that im interested in seeing the details of. Is there anywhere i can enter the ID of a changeset in order to see what changes were included in the commit without having to know what branch the change was made in?
Im using VS2010 / TFS2010.
Set the focus on SourceControlExplorer in VS and press CTRL+G
In the Source Control Explorer in VS2010, click the "Find Changeset" icon on the toolbar.
From the command line you can use 'tf.exe changeset ID'.
Be aware that your current directory needs to be a mapped workspace on the server you're trying to look up the changeset on. Otherwise you need to specify /s:servername (e.g. /s:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs
Extension to Rassi's answer to get everything on command prompt
From the command line you can use tf.exe changeset <<changeset ID>> /noprompt

I'm using TortoiseHg v2.2.1 with Mercurial 1.9 in WindowsXP. How do I configure TortoiseHg to view a file based on the application Windows has associated with its extension?
For example, if I have a .docx file in the repository and I'm looking at its revision history, I'd like View at revision... to open the selected revision in MS Word. Likewise for other binary file types like ppt and xls, which I can't view using the default text editor or kdiff3.
Can I leverage that Windows already knows what program to use to open certain types of files or will I have to manually configure each file type of interest within the Tortoise config files?
I've found several SVN scripts in the TortoiseHg\diff-scripts folder that look like they solve a similar problem for diffing binaries rather than simply viewing them, but those don't seem to be activated and I'm not sure what if anything I need to mod in the MergePatterns.rc or Mercurial.ini files to make this all work.
To make "View at Revision" use whatever program is associated with the file's extension, try this trick: In the "Global Settings" in the "TortoiseHg" section, enter start "" as "Visual Editor". Note the empty "". This is necessary so that start will not use the file name, which gets passed in quotes by TortoiseHg, as the window title.
When I get latest from TFS source control, I don't see the changes made to my workspace.
I know I can go to the Output window and see the changes, but this is just a text list with no context actions.
What I really want is to see a list of changes, with the ability to right-click a file and see differences straight away.
Is there a better, alternative way to see changes like this after getting latest?
Sounds like using the command line tool tf.exe with folderdiff command would achieve what you need.
Use the folderdiff command to display
and compare a visual representation of
the differences between files in two
server folders, in a server folder and
a local folder, or in two local
folders.
From the header toolbar click the "Find Chengsets" option (it is between History and Branch options), it will open a dialog box, on that fill your required attributes and click Find button on that dialog box.
