Automatically add new folders and files to source control

Question

We're using ClearCase, integrated with VS2008.

Problem is, adding new files into my own personal view will not be reflected when i push (check in) changes.

I have to manually add all new files/projects/items into source control and then check them in.

Is there any way to automatically be able to get all new items into source control?

If your current solution has been added to ClearCase (provided the runtime security level in .NET allows it), then simply adding files within a snapshot view part of Visual Studio project won't version those files:
they will still be considered private, until you "add them to source control".

If you have many new files, you can find them with this answer "How do I determine what files in my ClearCase local view have not yet been added to source control?": depending on your ClearCase version, this will be more reliable than the integrated solution (as described in this IBM technote for CC 7.0.1.1, 7.0.1.2).
