The folder options enable you to specify the criteria that the application uses to determine whether a folder has been read.
You can also indicate how often the application should search for new folders and how folder locking issues should be handled.
- Check-out
-
- Use Last Modification Time for Folders During Checkout
- Uses the last modification time when Working folders are created. Otherwise it uses the current time.
- Locking
-
- Exclusively Lock Folder During Edit
- Locks an asset when you open its
Properties dialog box for editing. If unchecked, the application does not lock assets when you open its
Properties dialog box.
- Clear Manually Locked Folders After Edit
- Unlocks a locked asset after you have edited its properties and clicked
OK to create a new revision. If unchecked, the application does not remove the locks.
-
Note: If you do not select either of the locking options, opening a change request will not lock it; you must manually lock and
unlock it. If you select the
Exclusively Lock option only, change requests that are not already locked become locked when you open them and unlocked when you click
Cancel or
OK. If you select the
Clear change request Locks option only, any change request that you have locked manually becomes unlocked when you click
OK to create a new revision. If you select both options, you can lock change requests manually or by opening them. These change
requests become unlocked when you click
OK to create new revisions or (if they were not locked prior to being opened) when you click
Cancel.
- URL Options
-
- Display template
- Specifies a special template used to generate an HTML representation of an item when the item’s URL is copied to the Clipboard.
With no format, there is a default HTML representation that specifies the type of item and identifies it by name and number.
When the text is generated from the template, the specified property values are substituted for the variables in
~~*~~. The variables may be referenced by the same names used in report templates, as well as by the display name of the property.
When using the display name, you can omit spaces, and case will be ignored. For example, if you use the following sample template for a file:
~~FolderPath~~:~~Name~~, the HTML representation will be the
StarTeam path to the selected folder:
SampleProject\ReadMe. This template is a super-set of that used by the Report feature of the client.
- Generate ID-based URLs
- Specifies the URL by ID rather than by name. For example, an ID-based URL would be
starteam://hostname:49201/12;ns=Project;scheme=id, while a name-based URL would be
starteam://hostname:49201/myproject.
Note: Folders always use an ID-based URL.
- Show Not-in-View Folders By Default
- Checks the
Show Not-in-View Folders on the
Folder Tree menu to set it to be on by default. (Changing this check box does not affect projects that are already open.)
