HI  
I want to see all the files that were changed in the past x days. So I used “File Set define”, and then “File Set Log Files” to see the files. It would be nice to optionally see also Date and Size of files, in the way that "Search For Files " does.  
Thanks

What I would find helpful is being able to add to a fileset

So for example, I have a product that I need to build, it has one exe and 30 dll's

I have to run 31 compilations - and have 31 file copy actions to put the output binary into the target location for the next phase

It would be so much easier to incrementally add files to a fileset during the build, and then at the end process the entire fileset

The larger the script and the more binaries being built, the more the benefit of this approach

Martin,

I do something similar, only I just append each file to a variable, %FileList%. At the end of the build I do a List Iterator on %FileList% to do the copies. You need to make sure to check the "Add CRLF separator before appending text" box in the Append To Variable action so that the List Iterator can keep the various file separate.
