Checkout depth option

Does RTC have something like checkout depth option? So that we can checkout the folder without sub- files or folders.

There is no concept of a "checkout" in RTC. You just modify the
version-controlled files you want to change, and RTC will notice that
you have changed them, and make the "checkin" operation available on
them. In particular, those modified files show up in the Unresolved
folder in the Pending Changes view.

Thanks! But that is not I want to ask, I know in RTC there has 'load' instead of 'checkout', and I want to know if I can load a folder without sub-files from by selecting any options like checkout depth?

You can do a "selective load", where you only the folders you want, but
that loads all the members of those folders as well. If you really
wanted to avoid loading the members of the folder, one workaround would
be to create an empty folder in the folder, and then just load that
empty folder.

Just for interest's sake, why do you want to load a folder and none of
its members?

I want to add new files to the server, but I know want to load the whole folder, for it has many large files.
So if I can load the empty folder I can get the version control and can add new files to server.
I don't need to checkout so many files and it will be quick.

In that case, I believe your best bet is the workaround I suggested
earlier: create a dummy empty folder in that folder, and load that dummy
folder. And please feel free to submit an enhancement request for this
"don't load children" feature, so you don't need to go around creating
empty folders just so you can load just the parent.
