Cannot add Visio file to change set

Hi,

I am trying to check in a visio file. What I did was:

1) Move the visio file to the project directory
2) refresh

If I do the same steps with a text file, it will show in a change set. The visio file doesn't show in the change set. When I look at the properties for the visio file under source control, there is one line that says

Ignored due to: Derived status

What does this mean, and how do I correct it?

Thanks,
Deege

I think this should work:

Right click on the visio file in the Package Explorer
Select Resource
Uncheck "Derived"

Nope. There was no Resource in the dropdown. I went to Properties and selected Resource there (I'm on v2, is there a difference?). The Derived checkbox on this page is already unchecked.

Maybe the file is in a subdirectory of a derived folder? Check those.

I'm wondering why the file would have been marked derived in the first place and it seems inconsistent that you say the 'derived' property checkbox is already un-checked.

I think that fixed it. The folders were marked read only and when I changed it, the Visio file could be added. I'm not sure why the Visio file was singled out however?!? Other text files could be added without problem.

Thanks!
