Where these files in subfolders or all in the top level folders. Properties are not recursive in svn... so an ignore on the root folder will not ignore files in subfolders.

What you can do is add all your folders. Then add the svn ignore and there is a check box to make it "recursive". Basically tsvn just adds the property to ever existing subfolder. Once you have done this run your add again and it should ignore the files.

Another option is to create global ignores. This will apply to ALL of your working copies on your machine.

Use right-drag when you are mvogin files within a working copy. If you just want to move files into a working copy, then regular drag-drop operations are fine.
