I'm using Visual Studio 2013 with TFS 2012. We are using local workspaces.
In Source Control Explorer under the Pending Change column I sometimes see "edit, [more]" What this generally means is that I've edited the file and not yet checked in the change and also someone else has the file locked.
I can right-click the file and go to Advanced > Properties and see the name of the other user and what their status on the file is. But I would like to see this information directly in the Source Control Explorer window. It doesn't matter how wide I expand the column -- it always shows "[more]" rather than the actual information.
I've searched through the options but haven't found anything. Is this just not possible in Visual Studio?
Correct, it is not possible to change this behaviour.
You could create a plugin for TFVC that did this for you with an additional column, but I would make a request on http://visualstudio.uservoice.com .
