Visual Studio plugin shows more pending changes than Eclipse client
We are using RTC version 4.0.3 and using the same sandbox we see more files in Pending Changes when running the Visual Studio plug-in than we see using the Eclipse client. The files tend to be backup files like .bak or .bat~ (emacs backups). Does anyone know why there is a difference between the two tools looking at the same sandbox?
I see this on multiple windows machines. Running Win 7 64bit or XP 32bit.
Also the user is different on the windows machines so that seems to rule out the user account or machine.
Is there something inherent to Visual Studio or the RTC plug-in to Visual Studio?
I've tried VS 2005 and VS 2010 and get the same results.

Accepted answer
It is likely because of the differences in the files that each application ignores.
For Eclipse the list in under Windows->Preferences->Team-> Ignored resources. It is not quite the same in VS but you can see the equivalent list of ignored files, patterns etc from the share wizard in VS client I can see in the eclipse client that *.bak *.BAK and *~ are in the ignore list by default.

Comments I'm not sure where to find the VS ignore list(s) but I now understand how the two tools can be different.
Very helpful,
Thanks

I'm not sure where the VS ignore list is either. I know when you share a project using VS it will list the currently ignored files but you can only delete the existing ones and not add new ones. Probably worth another post to see if anyone else knows.
