Info

‘Diff/Merge’ Page Diff Specifies the graphical file-comparison tool to be invoked by the GUI’s Diff command. You can choose AccuRev’s own tool or one of the supported third-party tools from the combo-box. Alternatively, you can type a command line to be executed when the Diff command is invoked. See Enabling the Diff and Merge Tools on page 117. Merge Similar to the Diff setting — specifies the graphical text-file merge tool by be invoked by the GUI’s Merge command. Tab size (AccuRev’s graphical Diff and Merge tools only) The number of spaces to be displayed for each TAB character. Ignore Whitespace (AccuRev’s graphical Diff and Merge tools only) Controls whether whitespace is taken into account when comparing text lines. Ignore Changes in Whitespace (AccuRev’s graphical Diff and Merge tools only) Controls whether a change in the amount of whitespace in a text line is considered to be a change to that line. Ignore Case (AccuRev’s graphical Diff and Merge tools only) Controls whether uppercase and lowercase characters are considered to be the same when comparing text lines. ‘Version Browser’ Page Initial display mode Specifies the mode that a new Version Browser tab begins in. Basic mode displays “important” versions only, for example omitting intermediate versions in workspace streams. Expanded mode displays all versions. Buttons at the bottom of the Version Browser tab switch between the two display modes. Initial transaction count How many of the most recent transactions (and equivalently, versions) a new Version Browser should display. Controls in the Version Browser toolbar change this count. AccuRev User’s Guide (GUI) 8
‘Stream Browser’ Page Display Default Group in Stream Browser Controls whether the StreamBrowser includes a default group control for each stream and workspace with active elements (non-empty default groups). Disabling this feature can significantly improve StreamBrowser performance. Enable Stream Browser History Controls the inclusion in the StreamBrowser toolbar of controls that enable you to “turn back the clock”, viewing a depot’s stream hierarchy as it existed at any point in the past. You must refresh any existing StreamBrowser tabs to make a new setting effective. Executing AccuRev Commands Many AccuRev commands are invoked in the standard “noun-verb” manner: you select one or more files (or other objects); then, you select the command to be executed on them. Selecting Objects The object-selection gestures are the same ones used by Windows Explorer: • To select an object, click it with the left mouse button. • To select a contiguous range of objects listed in a table, click-and-drag with the left mouse button. • To add or delete an object from an existing selection, hold down the Ctrl key and click that object with the left mouse button. • To extend an existing selection to a particular object, hold down the Shift key and click that object with the left mouse button. • To open a file with a text editor, double-click it with the left mouse button. Selecting a Command After you’ve selected one or more objects, you execute a command on those objects in any of these ways: • By clicking a button in the toolbar of the particular GUI tool you’re using. • By right-clicking the object(s) to display a “context menu” of commands, then selecting one of the commands. • By opening the Actions submenu of the GUI’s main menu, then selecting one of the commands. At any given time, this submenu contains the same commands as the context menu of the currently selected object(s). AccuRev User’s Guide (GUI) 9
