VCS Filesystems Settings
You can access settings for individual VCS filesystems by right-clicking the filesystem's root
in the Explorer and choosing Properties.
The properties available depend on the type of VCS filesystem mounted. In built-in CVS client filesystems,
you can set the following properties:
- Auto Refresh. Sets the frequency with which VCS filesystems automatically refresh file status information.
- CVS Ignore List. List of files and patterns that are ignored by CVS as specified in the cvsignore file.
- Hidden. If True, the filesystem is not displayed in the Explorer.
- Hide Shadow Files. If True, the Explorer does not display nodes for files that do not physically
exist in your working directory, such as Locally Removed and Needs Checkout files.
- 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.
- Output Display. Determines how CVS command is displayed. You can choose Standard
Command-Line Display to view command output in text form, or you can choose Formatted Output or Abbreviated
Output to view the output in a formatted dialog box.
- 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.
- Relative Mount Point. The relative path from the working directory to the filesystem root.
- User Interface Mode. Determines how you enter options when
calling CVS commands. Only Default Switches runs commands with basic or no command options. GUI Style
presents a dialog box of advanced options. Command-Line Style lets you enter commands as you would on the
command line.
- Zipped File Transfer. If True, file compression is used when transferring files between the
server and your system.
In all generic VCS filesystems, including CVS command-line filesystems, you can set the following properties:
- 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.
