VCS Filesystem Properties
See Also
You can access the properties for an individual VCS filesystem by right-clicking
the filesystem's root in the Filesystems window and choosing Properties.
Properties
- Annotation Pattern. Determines how file and directory nodes in the
Filesystem window 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.
- Profile. (Read-only) Displays the profile used to mount this filesystem.
You can change the profile in the filesystem's Customizer.
- Print Command Output. If True, prints output of the running VCS command
to the Output window.
- Advanced Options. If True, enables advanced command options for running
VCS commands.
- 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.
- Process All Files. If True, runs commands on all files represented
by the selected node or nodes. If False, commands are 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.
- Working Directory. (Read-only) Specifies the location of your working
copies of version-controlled files. You can change this property in the filesystem's
customizer.
- Shorten File Statuses. If True, displays shortened versions of file
statuses for Filesystem window nodes.
Expert
- Cache ID. (Read-only) 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 (...) button, displays 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 a tilde (~).
- Filter Backup Files. If True, hides backup files in the Filesystem window.
- 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.
- Refresh Time for Local Files. Sets the interval, in milliseconds,
at which the filesystem refreshes its contents. The filesystem refreshes its
contents to check for local files that were added or removed outside of the
IDE.
- 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 (...) button, displays the
variable editor. Use the variable editor to modify the filesystem's variables
and their properties.
Capabilities
- Use in Compiler. If True, adds the filesystem to the compilation
class path.
- Use in Debugger. If True, adds the filesystem to the debuggin class
path.
- Use as Documentation. If True, specifies that the filesystem contains
Javadoc documentation.
- Use for Execution. If True, adds the filesystem to the execution
class path.
Sorting
- Sort Mode. Sets the order in which the filesystem contents are displayed.
