Bug: Open dialog, checkout from source control, desktop shwn

[kreynold]

Hi,

I'm a developer who uses ClearCase with mapped drives. ClearCase provides me with 'views' which are mapped as directories, ex:

m:\kreynold.my_view

contains a source code branch.

I also map these directories from drive letters, ex:

subst l: m:\kreynold.my_view

Now if I browse using either path (l:\foo... or m:\kreynold.my_view\foo...) and perform a checkout from within TextPad's 'Open File(s)' dialog using the explorer shell (right click; clearCase->Checkout) the dialog reverts to the 'desktop' as it's current working directory after the checkout is performed.

ClearCase is probably updating both the directory and the file at that moment.

FYI: VisualStudio 2003 (v7.1) does not have this problem of reverting to the 'desktop' when performing a checkout within the 'Open File(s)' dialog.

I can provide debugging / additional information if needed.

Please check if Notepad's Open File dialog box behaves the same way.

Yes, Notepad does act the same way as TextPad, dropping me to the desktop directory after a checkout in a 'different' directory.
