It is known that renaming and deleting of files are not very often used in normal work. However at some point you can decide to delete some files or rename them. Unfortunately such simple operations usually not handled by IDEs properly. Files are usually just removed on local disk but not in repository. This very strange especially taking into account the fact that SCC API has both the rename and delete functions. The good news is that some IDEs like VS 2005, PowerBuild, MS Access support them. But what for others?

The first what comes in mind is just to handle this by hands. I.e. open separate source control managing tool and do the renaming or deleting. But this is not too convenient. So to assist with this issue we add some background functionality into plug-in which tries to detect file renaming or deleting. Once detected the confirmation window with list of detected files is shown. You can confirm or cancel operation.

Unfortunately the way how plug-in tries to detect renaming and removing is tricky, and it is possible false triggerings. So please be patient, we trying to do all that it is possible.

It is possible to configure the plug-in does this functionality is needed or not. This can be done on the cvs options page of configuration window. By default this functionality is switched off.
