Setting Options

Note

If the following options do not appear on the Source Control tab, you probably don’t have a

source code control system on your computer. It could also be that your SCCS is unrecognized

or that there are communications problems between the SCCS server and your computer.

! Enable source control

Mark this to enable all source control functionality both in the current installation and

all future installations. When you mark this checkbox, the following 3 checkboxes are

enabled, as well as the items in the Source Control menu. When source control is

enabled, you can add files to source control, check files in and out, get the latest

version of files, track history, and view differences.

! Check out file when it is opened

If this is marked, then each time you open a file that has been previously checked in,

the file will be automatically checked out for you. If your source code control system

is not available, you can cancel attempts to connect and work on the local copy of the

file.

! Check in file when it is closed

If this is marked, then each time you open a file that has been previously checked

out, the file will be automatically checked in for you.

! Add new files to source control

If this is marked, then each time you create a new installation file and save it, you

will be prompted to add it to your source code control system.

Enabling the source control options above does not implement source control in the

installation. It merely enables you to add and remove files from the source code control

system, and to check them in and out. Use the options on the Source Control menu to

perform these tasks.
