  1. Thanks Amit. You can also use Salesforce package.xml generator vs code extension to choose metadata using point and click like in Force.com IDE plugin.

  7. Hi, I don't see "Get All Files from org" option. Which extension it comes from?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I tried retrieving using package.xml. That does not work. It says "Either the file/metadata type doesn't exist in the current org or you're trying to save/retrieve outside of c:\Users\Downloads\C Drive\Dev1\src
