| |
| <P>When enabled, CVS will decorate resources in Workbench views with icon and |
| label decorations that indicate the CVS state of the resource. |
| </P> |
| |
| <P>To enable the CVS decorations: |
| </P> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Decorators)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>General > Appearance > Label Decorations</b></a> |
| preference page. This page allows the enabling and disabling of all decorations |
| defined by different plug-ins in the Workbench.</li> |
| <li>Click on the CVS box to enable the CVS decorations.</li> |
| <li> Click <b>OK</b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p><em>Note:</em> In some cases, the decorations may not appear immediately due |
| to the fact that they are expensive to compute. In those cases, they are calculated |
| in the background. </p> |
| |
| <p>To configure the CVS decorations: |
| </p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.CVSDecoratorPreferences)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>Team > CVS > Label Decorations</b></a> |
| preference page. This page allows the configuration of how decorations appear on CVS |
| projects, folders and files.</li> |
| <li>To configure the text label decorations click the <strong>Text</strong> |
| tab and then: |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Pick the resource type (file, folder, project) for which you want to |
| change the decoration.</li> |
| <li>Click in the decoration string for that resource type at the location |
| where the new decoration element should go.</li> |
| <li>Click the <b>Add Variables</b> button for that resource type.</li> |
| <li>Choose the CVS information variable to add. For instance, for files |
| you could select the <i>added_flag</i> which will be inserted in the decoration |
| where you placed the cursor. The string <i>{added_flag}</i> will be added |
| to the decoration string which will decorate newly added resources using |
| the added resource label (which can be set in the <i>Label Decoration |
| for Added</i> field).</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li>Repeat the above for any other decorations to be added.</li> |
| <li>Decorations can be removed by deleting the decoration variable name (i.e.<i> |
| {added_flag}</i>) from the decoration string. In a similar manner, spacing |
| can be added.</li> |
| <li>To configure icon decorations, click the <strong>Icon</strong> tab simply |
| enable/disable the icon checkboxes.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> or <b>Apply</b> for the new decorations to take effect.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p><em>Note</em>: Under the <strong>General</strong> tab is an option to disable |
| the deep dirty decoration of folders. This will make decorator determination |
| more efficient but will make it harder to find dirty resources in one of the |
| navigation views. Under the <strong>Synchronize View</strong> tab, the Synchronize |
| view can be configured to show the synchronization state of a resource as part |
| of the text label displayed in the Structure Compare pane.</p> |
| <p>You can also change the color and font of items based on the item's CVS state. |
| To set the color and font:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.CVSDecoratorPreferences)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>Team > CVS > Label Decorations</b></a> |
| preference page.</li> |
| <li>Check the box to <em>Enable font and color decorations</em>.</li> |
| <li>Next, Open the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.ColorsAndFonts)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts</b></a> preference page.</li> |
| <li>In the <strong>CVS</strong> category are the various CVS states for which |
| you can set the colors and fonts. Set them as desired.</li> |
| <li>You can return to the |
| <a class="command-link" href='javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.team.cvs.ui.CVSDecoratorPreferences)")'> |
| <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.png" alt="command link"> |
| <b>Team > CVS > Label Decorations</b></a> |
| preference page to preview the changes.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>OK</b> or <b>Apply</b> for the new decorations to take effect.</li> |
