Team Foundation Sidekicks 2.0 released

As a first news of year 2008, I am proud to announce the availability of Team Foundation Sidekicks 2.0. This version introduces a number of bug fixes, new Code Review Sidekick and Visual Studio integration package, providing integration for a number of features into VS. And in this version, Sidekicks now support both Team Foundation Server 2005 and 2008 (and VS 2005/2008 for VS integration package).

The installation contains all required files to install stand-alone application (for TFS 2005 or TFS 2008) and/or VS integration package (for VS 2005 or VS 2008). Please note that installation of VS package may be somewhat time consuming due to the neccessity of updating VS after package is copied and registered.

The stand-alone application includes Workspace Sidekick, Status Sidekick, History Sidekick, Label Sidekick, Shelveset Sidekick and new Code Review Sidekick. Visual Studio integration package integrates Code Review Sidekick with Source Control Explorer and provides functionality previously available in separate add-in, namely Build Type editing support, Dynamic History support and source control items Search. Team Foundation Sidekicks add-in becomes deprecated with these release of VS package and will not be supported forthwith.

Hopefully, our tools will be as useful to you in 2008 as before. As always, feel free to leave feedback using blog or contact us at tfs_at_attrice_dot_info.

# re: Team Foundation Sidekicks 2.0 released

Hi there, I love Team Foundation Sidekicks but with version 2.0 I get an error on VISTA because it seems it writes a .tmp file to the Program Folder and modifies the .exe.config on exit. Is there a way to configure that the settings are stored in a different location e.g. a user´s folder?

Thank you for your feedback. The app tries to write the configuration file, and on Vista by default the folder has no write permissions.

Hopefully, we shall handle that in the next release.

This product keeps getting better and better. One feature that would be nice is the ability to "open" a changeset in the History Sidekick to see what files are include in the changeset. The Code Review Sidekick gives you this feature in a round about way. I'd like an easy to click through changesets and see what files are included.

If you give the Users group write privilege on the directory C:\Program Files\Attrice Corporation\Team Foundation Sidekicks, the error on Vista will disappear.
