Re: MS Visual SourceSafe & binary files

[Janet Murphy <janet -at- fuse -dot- net>]

I use VSS, but not with FM.  But, I have the same batch image issue and you'll
be happy to know there is a batch checkout function. Try this:
1)From VSS, use the CTRL key to select all the files you want to check out.
2) Go to the icon bar, and look for the icon that has a yellow disk on top of
the piece of paper w/a right arrow (on mine it is under the "SourceSafe" menu
option.

Click the icon to "Check Out Multiple" files.

good luck.
