Hi,
I quickly skimmed the forums in hopes to find anything related to this problem. Nothing came up immediately, hence thread =)
Anyway, I have Perforce set up w/ multiple clientspecs. The initial BC SCC Config I added was for one of the clientspecs, let's say under "C:\A". All is well until I found that BC really doesn't like it when I view files from other folders that are NOT found under the SCC root "C:\A" For example, "C:\B" would bring up lots of complaints from BC. "C:\B" is also the root of one of my alternate clientspecs.
Not a problem, I'll just try adding another SCC Config to include "C:\B". When I open up the Source Control->Add window, adding a new SCC Entry hangs BC until I had to terminate the process.
This may have been because BC was still pointing to an old folder I had deleted much much earlier, say "C:\C". In other words, bringing up BC with "C:\C\SomeFolder" and "C:\C\SomeOtherFolder" would duplicate this.
Ok, so I quickly manage to change the initial BC folders (Left/Right pane) to my existing SCC Root ("C:\A") and again try to add a new SCC Config to the list. This time, I can actually get past the "Pick your provider" dropdown. I chose Perforce, hit ok. The next window was (I think) the Username / server / etc window. I see the labels, but the input boxes are completely gone. Not only that, the window got stretched across both my monitors and then some (to the right). I had to drag the window to the left for about three minutes before I found the rightmost end of the window. Still no input boxes. I hit "tab" and "enter" hoping to hit an OK button I saw at the left-most border of the window. The window goes away, but the SCC Config that I added has no SCC provider bound to it. Any attempt to config it brings up the same gigantic window that stretches across my monitor and then some.
So now I have the following in my SCC list:
Directory / Project
-------------------
C:\A / Perforce
C:\B /
Any ideas?
Here's my steps a bit more concisely:
(1) Create a clientspec in perforce with root C:\A
(2) Create another clientspec in perforce with root C:\B
(3) Create a folder C:\C
(4) Open BC, and have it open C:\C in both folder-compare panels.
(5) Add a SCC Config that points to C:\A as a Perforce project.
(6) Close BC and delete C:\C
(7) Open BC. BC should complain that C:\C is not found. Ignore this.
(8) Tools->Options->Source Control->Add and try adding C:\B as a project. BC should hang.
(9) Close BC. Reopen BC and remap the folder comparison panes to C:\A.
(10) Try adding C:\B again as a SCC project. You should be able to choose Perforce as your project. Next window that comes up should be sans-input fields.
--also--
(11) If you hit "config" on the C:\A project BC should hang.
