| <H1 CLASS="Head">Setting the CVS keyword substitution mode</H1> |
| |
| <P>CVS uses the keyword substitution mode of a file to differentiate binary files |
| from ASCII files and to indicate what type of keyword substitution is to take |
| place when files are committed and checked out. |
| </P> |
| |
| <P>To set the CVS keyword substitution mode: |
| </P> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>In one of the navigation views, select the files or containing folders for which |
| a change in keyword substitution mode is desired. <b>Note</b>: Ensure that |
| any new files that are to be committed are added to CVS version control as |
| the keyword substitution mode can only be set for files that are already under |
| CVS control.</li> |
| <li>From the pop-up menu, select<b> Team > Change ASCII/Binary Property</b>. |
| The Set Keyword Substitution Mode wizard will open. The following dialog was opened |
| was opened on the org.eclipse.jdt.core project: |
| <p><img src="../images/cvs_change_ascii_binary_prop.png" alt="The Set Keyword Substitution Mode wizard" border="0" ></p> |
| </li> |
| <li>The wizard contains a list of all founds found in the selection. On this |
| page, you can do the following: |
| <ul> |
| <li>You can enter a file pattern to filter the list of files.</li> |
| <li>You can change the mode for files individually.</li> |
| <li>You can select multiple files and change the mode for the all using |
| the drop down at the bottom of the page.</li> |
| <li>You can select multiple files and click <strong>Propose</strong> which |
| determines the mode based on your preference settings.</li> |
| <li>You can check the <em>Only show those files that will be changed</em> option to see only the files |
| whose mode has been changed in the wizard.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>When you are done specifying the new modes for any files, enter the commit |
| comment to be associated with any file commits. Files will need to be committed |
| if changing the file type from Binary to ASCII results in a change in the |
| file content due to line terminator adjustments. Click <b>Finish</b> to apply |
| the changes.</li> |
| </ol> |
