VCS Filesystems Settings
You can access settings for individual VCS filesystems by right-clicking the filesystem's root
in the Explorer and choosing Properties from the contextual menu.
The properties available depend on the type of VCS filesystem mounted. Each type of VCS filesystem
enables you to set the following properties:
- Auto Refresh - determines the conditions for automatic refreshing of file statuses.
- Offline Mode (Offline for CVS Client filesystems) - If True, the IDE does not try to contact
the repository's server.
In CVS Client filesystems, you can set the following properties:
- User Interface Mode - Specifies how to enter command options. You can also set this property
globally for CVS Built-in Client filesystems on the CVS Client node of the Options window.
- Zipped File Transfer - If True, file compression is used when transferring files between the
server and your system.
In CVS (command-line support) filesystems, you can set the following properties:
- Advanced Options - specifies how to enter command options.
- Annotation Pattern - Specifies what information, such as file
status and CVS sticky tags, is displayed next to directory names and file names in the Explorer and
Source Editor.
- Command Notification - If True, a dialog box appears to inform you when a command is completed.
Messages about command status always appear in the Output window, whether this property is True or False.
- Call Edit Command - If True, the
cvs edit
command is automatically called when you try to edit
read-only files.
- Debugging - If True, output of the running VCS command is printed to the Output window.
- Process All Files - If True, the command is run on all files represented by the selected node or nodes.
If False, the command is only run on files designated as "important" for that type of node.
For example, on form nodes (
),
.form
files and .java
files are important, but .class
files
are unimportant. On Java source nodes (
), .java
files
are important and .class
files are unimportant.
In generic VCS filesystems, you can set the following properties:
- Advanced Options - Specifies how to enter command options.
- Annotation Pattern - A POSIX-style regular expression that specifies what information, such as file
status and CVS sticky tags, is displayed next to directory names and file names in the Explorer and
Source Editor.
- Command Notification - If True, a dialog box appears to inform you when a command is completed.
Messages about command status always appear in the Output window, whether this property is True or False.
- Locking - If True, the
LOCK
command is automatically called when you try to edit
read-only files. This setting applies only to PVCS filesystems.
- Debugging - If True, output of the running VCS command is printed to the Output window.
- Process All Files - If True, the command is run on all files represented by the selected node or nodes.
If False, the command is only run on files designated as "important" for that type of node.
For example, on form nodes (
),
.form
files and .java
files are important, but .class
files
are unimportant. On Java source nodes (
), .java
files
are important and .class
files are unimportant.
- Prompt for Lock - If True, you are prompted whether or not to lock a read-only file when you try to edit the file.
If False, the file is locked automatically when you edit it. This property only applies if you have a
LOCK
command
defined in your profile. This property applies only to PVCS filesystems.
