Built-in Client Filesystem Properties
See Also
You can access settings for a built-in CVS filesystem by right-clicking its
root node in the Explorer and choosing Properties.
For built-in CVS client filesystems, you can set the following properties in
the Properties and Expert tabs.
Properties Tab
- Auto Refresh. Sets the frequency with which VCS filesystems automatically
refresh file status information.
- CVS Ignore List. Lists the files and patterns that are ignored by
CVS as specified in the cvsignore file.
- Hidden. If True, hides the filesystem in the Explorer.
- 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.
- Output Display. Determines how CVS command output is displayed. You
can select Standard Command-Line Display to view command output in text form,
or you can select Formatted Output or Abbreviated Output to view the output
in a formatted dialog box.
- Process All Files. If True, sets commands to run on all files represented
by the selected node or nodes. If False, the commands run only on files designated
as important for that type of node. For example, on Java 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.
- Read Only. If True, all files in the filesystem are read only.
- Relative Mount Point. Sets 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 type commands as you would on the command line.
- Working Directory. Specifies the location of your working directory.
Expert Tab
- 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 a tilde (~). You can set the Locally Ignored Files property
to ignore backup files so that they don't appear in the Explorer.
- Locally Ignored Files. Specifies the regular expression that returns
the file suffixes for all files to be ignored by the IDE.
- Pserver Port. Specifies the port used to access the remote repository
through the pserver connection method. The default port is 2401.
