Adding Multiple Files

1. To add multiple files to Source Safe click on the Project or Subproject that they should be added to.
   
   
   
   
2. From the main menu select File -> Add Files.
   
   
   
3. While holding down the Control key click on the files to add, files will be both highlighted and appear in the File Name list as they are selected. Once all the desired files have been selected click Add.
   
   
   
4. As before, when uploading a single file, Source Safe will query for a comment to include with the file. Note the "Apply same comments" located at the bottom of the dialog box. This is checked by default. Whether or not you uncheck it is dependent on the type of files being uploaded. If the group of files are utilized for an application or website then it is likely this will be left checked an all files will be given the same comment. However, if a group of reports are being uploaded then its likely each report has distinct characteristics and therefore this should be unchecked and a comment entered for each individual report. If you do uncheck this selection then this dialog will appear for each file being imported.
   
   
   
5. Read Step 5 of Adding a New File if you encounter difficulties.
6. As covered in Step 6 of Adding a New File Source Safe will display the Select a File to Add Dialog except files which have been added to the project will not be displayed.
   
   
   
7. Click Close if you are done adding files to this project.
8. You will now be returned to Source Safe's main screen.
