Hello All..

One of the project folders in our vss DB needs to have keyword expansion disabled. Is there any easy way to disable a project and it's subfolders from expanding keywords in the file headers.
Ex: We have following lines in srcsafe.ini file to disable expansion for all files in project $/DoNotExpand/ and its subprojects

[$/DoNotExpand]
Keyword_Masks = !*.*


This works fine for all files in $/DoNotExpand, but any files checked into $/DoNotExpand/sub1/ and or any sub project under $/DoNotExpand/ have problems, the keyword expands. The above lines do not work recursively to subprojects. I have to explicitly include all subprojects in the ini file, which is impractical because there are many.

Any help is appreciated. thank you. --rr
 
I've not tried this but it might be worth adding

[$/DoNotExpand/*]
Keyword_Masks = !*.*

to the ini file?
