Deploying a Project Adds Two .GIF Files

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows, version 5.0

SUMMARY

When deploying a Web project, two files that are not in the project are created in the deployment location. By default, they are FOLDER.GIF and HTMLFILE.GIF.

MORE INFORMATION

You can customize these images by editing the following lines in the SRCSAFE.INI file: 

   Img_File = HTMLFILE.GIF
   Img_Folder = FOLDER.GIF
to read, for example: 

   Img_File = MYIMGFILE.GIF
   Img_Folder = MYIMGFOLDER.GIF
Placing a semicolon (;) at the beginning of these lines will prevent these files from being copied to the deployment location and will cause the Site Map file to be created with a red "X" glyph where these glyphs would normally appear.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a SourceSafe project.

  2. In the SourceSafe administrator, designate this project as a Web project and specify a Deployment Path, such as C:\deploy.

  3. In the SourceSafe Explorer, deploy the project. Note that the deployment folder contains the files from the project and the two additional .GIF files.
