Setting Advanced Options for VCS Commands

By default, the IDE does not present you with advanced command options when calling VCS commands. Instead, commands either execute immediately or prompt you to enter basic options.

To set prompting for advanced options for VCS commands:

  1. Right-click the filesystem's root node and choose Properties.
  2. Set the Advanced Options property to True.
note If a CVS filesystem is set to not display advanced command options, you can access the advanced options by holding down the Control key while choosing commands from the CVS commands menu.

Saving Advanced Options for VCS Commands

In each of your IDE sessions, the advanced command options you use to run VCS commands are saved and can be easily reloaded to run the command again in the same way. You can also set frequently used command options as the default configuration for each command.

In generic VCS filesystems, changes to default command option configurations apply only to the filesystem for which they are set. In built-in CVS client filesystems, changes to default command option configurations apply to all CVS filesystems, including command-line filesystems mounted with the New Generic VCS wizard.

To use previously specified options for a VCS command:
