It would be nice if we could shift-select all the items in the Files & Folders window when we want to delete them instead of having to delete each item individually. Sometimes it's handier to renumber a version (because the info in Update Information is not changing), delete all the items there and re-add them. Deleting each file individually is a pain.
Thanks.
Hey William,
Multi-select treeviews are exceedingly hard to do right. We started an effort to make this a couple of years ago and it balooned in size, scope, and difficulty really quickly.
Now, to address your question more directly, why are you deleting files from your versions? Why aren't your clicking the "New version" tab and dragging your latest files? wyBuild takes care of making the smallest patches for you by comparing your old files with your new files.

I do development on multiple machines, so I use subversion for version control of wyUpdate. If the files wyUdpate is looking for have the same absolute pathname (I ensure this by having the same username on both machines), then I can build without problems. However, if they don't (I happen to be on a machine with a different username), then I have to delete and re-add the files. The latter doesn't happen that often fortunately, but it *is* a hassle to delete them one at a time.
It's not a biggie. Interesting to know that multitree views are hard to do. It would be cool some day if there were a wyBuild server product that could do what I'm doing now manually with subversion.
We're adding relative file paths to wyBuild. It should be coming in wyBuild 2.7. This will solve your problem.
