VCS Filesystems Properties
You can access the properties for individual VCS filesystems by right-clicking the filesystem's root
in the Explorer and choosing Properties. For all generic VCS filesystems, including CVS command-line
filesystems, you can set the following properties:
Properties Tab
- Advanced Options. If True, you can specify advanced command options when running VCS commands.
- Annotation Pattern. Determines how file and directory nodes in the Explorer are annotated with CVS file status information.
- Auto Refresh. Sets the frequency with which VCS filesystems automatically refresh file status information.
- 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.
- Offline Mode. If True, automatic refreshing of status information is disabled. You can still get file status
information for a file by using the Refresh command.
- Print Command Output. 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.
- Profile. Displays the profile used to mount this filesystem. You can change the profile in the filesystem's Customizer.
- Shorten File Statuses. If True, shortened versions of file statuses are displayed.
- Working Directory. The location of your working copies of version controlled files. You can change
this property in the filesystem's Customizer.
Expert Tab
- Cache ID. Directory in which cached VCS data is stored. This directory is located under
system/vcs/cache
in your user directory.
- Commands. Click the ellipsis (...) to open the Command Editor and modify the filesystem's VCS commands and their properties.
- Create Backup Files. If True, the IDE creates a backup of files every time you save them.
Backup files are named by appending the original file name with
‾
.
- Filter Backup Files. If True, backup files do not appear in the Explorer.
- Hide Shadow Files. If True, files that do not exist in the working directory but do exist in the
repository are not displayed in the Explorer.
- Ignored Files. A regular expression that specifies which files the IDE should ignore. The expression
should return the file name without the path. If you do not want to ignore any files, leave this property empty.
- Remember Password. If True, the IDE stores your password in the project data. Do not use this feature if your
password is confidential.
- Variables. Path to the list of variables in the filesystem's VCS profile. Click the ellipsis (...) to
open the Variable Editor and modify the filesystem's variables and their properties.
