Confirmation

In this section, specify whether and how to put a file created in MPS under version control:

• Show options before adding to version control: newly created files are put under version control after you specify the options in the dialog that opens.

• Add silently: newly created files are automatically added to version control without any notification.

• Do not add: newly created files remain unversioned and you can put them under version control later.

In this section, specify whether and how to remove a file from version control when the file is deleted:

• Show options before removing from version control: files removed locally are also removed from VCS after you have selected it in the dialog that opens.

• Remove silently: all files removed locally are removed from VCS without asking for confirmation.

• Do not remove: files removed locally remain under version control.

In this section, specify MPS behavior on deleting an empty changelist.

• Show options before removing: MPS asks for confirmation before removing an empty changelist that has lost its active status.

  If you choose to delete such a changelist, MPS suggests selecting another changelist to be marked as active.

• Remove silently: MPS automatically deletes empty changelists that become inactive, except for the Default changelist.

• Do not remove: empty changelists are not deleted on loosing their active status.

In this area, specify whether you want MPS to ask you for confirmation when invoking the commands selected below.

tip

• The availability of commands depends on a particular version control system.

• Use controls in this area to restore the original settings if you have suppressed showing operation-specific option dialog boxes by selecting the Do not show this dialog in the future checkbox.

Select this checkbox to have MPS explicitly require cancellation of the read-only status when you open a file in the editor and try to modify it.

The read-only status can be cleared in two ways:

• Using the current VCS: the file is added to a changelist

• Using a file system: the file is not added to the changelist.

This option is relevant for the version control systems that separate check-out from opening for editing.

Use this list to define the MPS behavior when a patch is created. The available options are:

• Yes: if this option is selected, native file manager always opens to show the patch file.

• No: if this option is selected, the native file manager will not open.

• Ask: if this option is selected, MPS will display a dialog informing about successful patch creation, and a suggestion to locate the patch file in the native file manager.
