RTC 2.0 CC synchronized stream, select CC files. When I add a
directory to the list, only the directory is synchronized, not the
underlying directory structure.

When I browse, checking a directory does not check the underlying
elements. It adds just the directory name to the list, which has the
same effect as directly adding the directory name to the list.

The result is, I have to browse, expand the entire structure, and
select every element/directory individually. Not what I expected.

I cannot find an option anywhere to say recurse, leading me to believe
it should do so automatically since not recursing makes no sense

Have I missed something?

Yes, selecting a folder means that this folder and all of its members
(recursively) will be synchronized.

So there are two bugs here:
(1) the documentation should make that clear
(2) this is what should have happened when you synchronized.

For (1), I've submitted work item 99430
FOr (2), please submit a defect work item, so we can find out what's
going on.

Cheers,
Geoff

Regarding (2) I think this may just be a case of being confused by
what the UI is doing. As Geoff said, selecing a folder means that
this folder and all of its children will be synchronized. This makes
the folder a "synchronization root." If you select the
children explicitly I believe that will make them also
"synchronization roots" which is not what you want.

The question is what Jim meant when he said:

"When I add a directory to the list, only the directory is synchronized,
not the underlying directory structure."

If Jim meant "he didn't see the children checked in the GUI", then as
Carol says, it's just a misinterpretation of the GUI.

If on the other hand, Jim meant "when I invoke a synchronize operation,
the children don't get synchronized", then that would be a bug.

If we don't see a work item, we'll assume Carol was right, and it was
just a misinterpretation of the GUI (:-).

Even if the children don't get synchronized, it still might not be a
bug. If it is a base ClearCase sync stream for which the selection
of files was made by a label -- and if the directory itself has that
label but the children don't, then the children won't be
synchronized.

But otherwise, it would be a bug :-)
