Re: How to find out files edited by given user

[johnywalkyra]

Hello Todd,

thanks for your suggestion, on the very beginning I've got the same
idea, but due to Visual Studio and nature of our source files there
must be certain writable files in the sandbox which we may not share
(mostly project and solution files plus some "developper license"
headers). I am rather looking for something that works on the server
side. I am sure there must be such a server script floating around...

Anyway thanks for you concern,

John Walker jr.
