HowTo: set "needs:lock" to new files and/or folders, without auto-properties?

Hi,

is there a way to tell Tortoise to give the 'needs:lock' property to every
child of a folder, even if new files are added?

My problem is:
We use a tool for UML modelling and the models of a project should be put
under version control. I set the "needs:lock" property on the modeling
folder (I understand that u can't put props on folders..), which will set
every existing file in it, too. As I work on the model, additional files are
added which do not get the "needs:lock" right away.

If I now save the work (or close the program) without getting the locks,
only the new files (which do not need locks) are updated and the old ones
are not.. Ouch!

Because some files-ending are used in many different applications, I do not
want to use auto-props on every file-type this program uses (not even sure
if I know all the file-endings this program is able to produce..).

So, is there a way to mark a whole folder with "needs:lock" so that all
newly created files get this prop? Or is there a better solution?
