Annoying problem with Team System
I'm not sure if this is a limitation of SharePoint, or of Team System, but I'm beginning to believe it will be a major problem. Whenever I create a document through Portfolio Explorer (which allows you to navigate all of the documents that are stored in your Team System SharePoint site) ,I have to do a Save As and navigate back to Team System with
http://myTeamServer/sites/Myproject in order to save the document into SharePoint, even though I created the document from Team System. Likewise, and this is even more annoying, if I OPEN a document from Portfolio Explorer and make changes to it - first, it opens up my Word documents within an IE Shell - why is this? Second, I have no Save button, and when I close the "Browser" Window, it prompts me to save. When I choose to save my changes, I again have to navigate to the SharePoint site using
http://myTeamServer/sites/Myproject. This is a huge pain. Has anybody figured out a way to do this more easily? If I open the documents from SharePoint (via the web browser), then when I hit save, it still brings up a dialog (I don't recall this being normal for SharePoint), but at least it has me in the right directory on the web server. I just posted this to the MSDN Feedback center as a suggestion, so it'll be interesting to see what becomes of it.
