visual studio often create a temporary file (such as
~sakcc4d724501c41d63.tmp) in the project root and
then immediatly deletes it. I assume this is to check it's
allowed to write to the SS database.
Please could you add an option to ignore by filename (so
that you could add ~sak*.tmp to the ignore list)

Visual SourceSafe 6.0c makes these sak files but it is some
kind of bug. SourceSafe 6.0d corrects the problem.
SourceSafe 6.0d is a free upgrade from 6.0c, part of VS
Studio.NET 2003 and is also in the Visual Studio 6.0 sp6.

All users of the sourcesafe database would have to be
upgraded to the new client.
However having an ignore changes based on file name would
be a good idea anyway.

This _is_ RFE [ 931704 ]
btw: I have been using VSS 6.0d since your reply and
VisualStudio.Net 2003 still insists on creating these temp files.

Well it really should work, only that *all* machines that do
checkins would need to be upgraded to Visual SourceSafe
6.0d. Would be good idea to do build box too, everything...
Which ever machine did the checkin of the ~sak file is the
machine that needs to be changed over to Visual SourceSafe
6.0d, it really should fix the problem. We had many of those
at my workplace and only after we finally got all the machines
upgraded to VSS 6.0d did it all go away.
That said, the feature is worthy of consideration and we can
do it in the new 1.6 line of development.

Merging in the RFE from another ticket also:
[ 811657 ] Exclude a file or whole directory from monitoring
We have a VSS database which stores our source code
but also stores our binary-deliverables (dll's, configfiles,
helpfiles, msi's, ...).
After draco has build the whole project by starting a
NAnt build process we've got those new binaries as
result of this new build. We want to check them in into
VSS, but then draco will rebuild the whole project with
again new binaries as result. You see, this is a never
ending story.
What we actually want to see in draco.net config file is
an exclude tag for files and/or directories that will not be
monitored by Draco.Net. I don't know whether this is
possible but it's certainly a powerfull feature in the
building process.
