Subversion: Options Window
See Also
The Subversion Options window allows you to configure Subversion-specific parameters
that effect the behavior of Subversion in the IDE.
You can access this panel by choosing Tools > Options from the main menu,
then under the Miscellaneous button at the top of the Options window select
Versioning, and under Versioning Systems in the left panel of the window,
select Subversion.
You can specify the following Subversion settings:
- Specify the SVN executable File. Enter the path to the Subversion
executable file in the IDE. This should be the path up to, but not including,
the file. Click Browse to navigate to the folder on your system. If left blank,
the IDE searches for the executable in its default location. Any changes made
will take effect upon restarting the IDE.
- Connection Settings. Click the Manage Connection Settings button to
view previously saved repository URLs used in the IDE. From the Manage Connection
Settings dialog, you can change URL-specific settings, such as username and
password. You can also remove previously saved URLs.
- Subversion Status Labels. The Status Labels Format text field
specifies how versioned files in the Projects, Files, and Favorites explorers
are annotated. Click the Add Variable button to add Subversion dynamic variables
to the Format text field. Options include:
- {revision}: Lists the revision number.
- {status}: Lists the current status of the item (e.g. New, Modified).
- {folder}: Lists the branch or tag name of the item.
- {mime_type}: Lists the format of the file (e.g. text, binary).
- Subversion status labels display in the Projects, Files, or Favorites
windows in grey text to the right of versioned files. To activate status
labels, choose View > Show Versioning Labels from the main menu.
- To select multiple labels simultaneously from the Select Variables dialog,
hold Ctrl as you select variables.
- Variable content. You can specify rules defining how status
labels should appear depending on the repository folder(s) which files belong
to. To do so, click the Define {folder} button.
- Other: Automatically open Output window tabs. Selecting this option
sets the Output window to open a new tab each time that a new versioning operation that involves
interaction with the repository takes place (e.g., commit, checkout). This
option is selected by default.
