Info

• Viewing the contents of your main workspace, using the File Browser. • Browsing through all the versions of a particular file. • Viewing a list of all workspaces (or just the workspaces that belong to you). • Viewing the contents of one or your colleague’s workspaces. At any time, you can “clean up”, by closing one or more of the tabs. Right-click on a tab control to display its context menu, then select Close. If the AccuRev Look And Feel is enabled (Tools > Preferences), an “X” icon appears on the tab control itself. Left-click this icon to close the tab. right-click tab to display this menu left-click close-tab icon if AccuRev Look And Feel is enabled Typically, the AccuRev repository is organized into multiple depots. Each depot stores the complete history of one particular directory tree. For example, there might be separate depots for the development, testing, and documentation groups. Most GUI tabs display the data from one particular depot. When you’re using a particular tab, the associated depot is termed the current depot. Its name is displayed at the bottom of the overall GUI window. Cloning Tabs The AccuRev GUI assumes that you want to avoid having multiple tabs with the same contents. So, for example, if there’s already a File Browser tab on workspace hawk_mnt_john and you execute an Open Workspace command on the same workspace, the GUI simply brings the existing tab to the front. If you do want to have two or more tabs showing the same data structure, use the File > Clone command. This enables you, for example, to work in two different parts of a large stream hierarchy (two StreamBrowser tabs), or to work in two different folders of a workspace (two File Browser tabs). current depot AccuRev User’s Guide (GUI) 2
Note: The History Browser, Version Browser, and Stream Version Browser are not part of this scheme. Refreshing Tabs The data displayed on GUI tab can become out of date as a result of your work on other GUI tabs, your work using the AccuRev CLI, and/or other users’ work. AccuRev displays a tab title in red if it determines that the tab’s data may be out of date. The command View > Refresh (or function key F5) updates a tab’s data. You can configure the GUI to refresh tab data automatically whenever you switch tabs: invoke the command Tools > Preferences, and clear the Require Manual Refresh checkbox. Keyboard Accelerators Like all graphical interfaces, the AccuRev GUI includes many menus and dialog boxes. You can access the main menu without having to use the mouse, by using the Alt key. For example, pressing Alt-F opens the File submenu of the GUI’s main menu. You can make submenu choices with additional Alt key sequences. In a dialog box, you can “press” buttons using Alt key sequences, such as Alt-C for “Cancel”. The Esc key also performs a “Cancel” operation in any dialog box. In some dialog boxes, you don’t even need to use the Alt key when invoking a keyboard accelerator: In a “Yes/No” dialog box, you can type Y or N (either uppercase or lowercase). In a message or confirmation box (no input field), you can indicate “Ok” by typing O (either uppercase or lowercase), or by pressing Enter. Many commands can be invoked with a keyboard accelerator, without opening any menu at all. The accelerators for such commands are listed on the menu itself. Dialog Boxes for Selecting or Specifying a Filename keyboard accelerators for menu commands In many situations, the AccuRev GUI displays a dialog box, in which you specify a new or existing file on your hard disk. In each context, AccuRev remembers the folder (directory) you specified most recently. This location is used as initial path next time that dialog box appears. If a context has no such “remembered” folder, then your home directory is used. AccuRev User’s Guide (GUI) 3
