Add all your folders first. Then add the property. As you say, you can't add a property to unversioned folders.

What I usually do when adding a new project is to remove all the files that I don't want versioned... then add them all. After that is done you can add your ignores recursively.

Add the folders first as I said above.

You seem to be making this harder than it needs to be. Basic steps:

1. do an add from the route of your project folder.
2. Deselect the root folder which will deselect everything in it.
3. Select the folders you want included in svn
4. Do an add again5.
5. Right click on folders you want to exclude right click and choose "Add to ignore list". (the folder and all its contents will be removed.
6. Right click on a .exe in a folder you want in version control. Choose "Add to ignore list".. then choose *.exe... all of the .exe's in that folder will be removed from the list. Repeat as needed. Note... you should only need to right click on one file with the extension that you want to remove within each folder that you want included.
