Thought I would share some details I recently learned to save others some pain and suffering…

 

When searching, viewing or getting source Label, know that you will search change labels in our Team Project, not just the labels/change sets for the current project (Trunk/Branch).  Notice below, when searching for a label (after right clicking on the branch and choosing get specific version) you will see all the labels in the Team Project, not just those labels applied to the selected branch (labels circled in red).  This is important to note when getting source from TFS based on a label…  make sure you choose the correct label or you will be getting versions of source you don’t expect.

Change Sets are different though.

Notice the Containing file value and only 3 changes sets exist for this branch.  A Change Set is a grouping of one or more files and the changes that were all committed (checked in) at the same time.

PhotoJoy – Dynamic wallpaper, screen savers and more.

Recently I downloaded and installed a new program called PhotoJoy.  Photo gallery application PhotoJoy turns your digital pictures into collages, desktop widgets, or 3D screensavers with just a few clicks. It's the type ofimage application that your mom would like (or anyone like me that enjoys wallpaper with changing photographs on it).

 

Once you've installed the application and selected photo folders to add to the gallery, you can choose from a number of PhotoToys, which are just desktop widgets that show off your photos in various ways, you can activate a collage of photos on your desktop, or you can choose from one of the screensavers to show off your photos while you are away from your PC. You can browse through the web site and find more collages, widgets, and screensavers if the ones that are built in don't appeal to you. PhotoJoy is a free download for Windows only.

 

Included is a screen saver similar to the bubble screen saver on Vista, but with an added bonus…  your pictures inside the bubbles.  This quite a nice application.
