Generic VCS Filesystem 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, enables advanced command options for 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, uses a dialog box 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, disables automatic refreshing of status information.
You can still get file status information for a file by using the Refresh
command.
- Print Command Output. If True, prints output of the running VCS command
to the Output window.
- Process All Files. If True, runs commands on all files represented
by the selected node or nodes. If False, commands are 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, displays shortened versions of file
statuses for Explorer nodes.
- Working Directory. Specifies the location of your working copies
of version-controlled files. You can change this property in the filesystem's
Customizer.
Expert Tab
- Cache ID. Specfies the directory in which cached VCS data is stored.
This directory is located under system/vcs/cache in your user
directory.
- Commands. When you click the ellipsis (...), opens the Command Editor.
Use the Command Editor to modify the filesystem's VCS commands and their properties.
- Create Backup Files. If True, 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, hides backup files in the Explorer.
- Hide Shadow Files. If True, hides files that do not exist in the
working directory but do exist in the repository.
- Ignored Files. Specifies the regular expression that determines 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. When you click the ellipsis (...), opens the Variable
Editor. Use the Variable Editor to modify the filesystem's variables and their
properties.
