Managing Member Histories and Revisions
To view a member’s working file or revision in the command
line interface
Use the si edit command, for example:
si edit --sandbox=value --revision=value member
where
--sandbox=value specifies the sandbox containing the member
you want to view or edit, for example, c:/sandboxdemo/
project.pj
--revision=value specifies the revision you want to view or
edit, for example, 1.3
member specifies the member whose working file or revision
you want to view or edit, for example, demoapp.ico
VSky Software Manager launches your default editor, displaying
the working file or revision you want to view, or the editor
associated with the member’s extension.
Note
The default editor that launches and opens the member depends on
your settings in the General tab of the Preferences dialog box. To
configure your default editor, see “Setting Preferences” on page 26.
Although it can be used to show the contents of any revision in an
archive, this command is typically used with the working file, since
it provides a mechanism to open the member without leaving the
VSky Software Manager application environment.
When you view a revision, VSky Software Manager copies the
revision to a read-only temporary file and opens it for you.
Note
The temporary file is not the revision. If you make changes to the file
and want to save it, the actual revision is not modified.
