Adding files and folder recursively with Visual SourceSafe 2005

In VSS 2005, we've got al cool new dialogs and icons.. however, some functionality appears to be missing.

When you now choose to add files, you can only add single files.

A small tip: when you hold shift and then click the button on the toolbar for adding files, you will get the 'old' dialog, and so be able to check in complete directory structures and files into Visual SourceSafe 2005

Wow!  You just saved me from a major headache.  I was about to uninstall VSS 2005 and install VSS 6.0d simply because this feature was "missing".  Thanks so much!

Oh,this solved the problem which puzzled me since I use the version 2005.I almostly believe that when I add files to an item in version 2005 , I can't make

only those files which is not inclued in this item shown in the dialog.It's really

helpful.Thanks alot.

And there is another way to add a folder to Sourcesafe.That is just drag the folder

which you want to add to the sourcesafe item.
