Create Project Dialog Options

Project Directories

pvcs00000000.gif Workfile Directory: Enter the path and directory for files you check out from an archive. To select an existing directory or create a new one, choose Browse. The Select Private Directory dialog displays.

pvcs00000000.gif Archive Directory: Enter the path and directory for archive files containing revisions and change information. To select an existing directory or create a new one, choose Browse. The Select Archive Directory dialog displays.

Project Options

Select the following options for project files if applicable.

pvcs00000000.gif Create Journal: Create a file of information about version control actions performed on archive files. Each time a project member performs an action that updates an archive, information is recorded in the file. The file is named JOURNAL.VCS and is located in the archive directory specified during project creation. You can view journal entries using any text editor.

pvcs00000000.gif Write Protect Archives: Maintain read-only copies of files in the Archive directory.

pvcs00000000.gif Write Protect Workfiles: Maintain read-only copies of files in the Workfile directory.

Creation Options

If applicable, select the following options for checking files into the project folder.

pvcs00000000.gif Check In All Files: Place all files in your Delphi project under version control and perform the initial check in automatically to create the archive file.

pvcs00000000.gif Keep Files Locked: Place a lock on all files upon initial check-in. Others cannot access the files until they are unlocked by the same person (user ID) who created the project.

pvcs00000000.gif Prompt for Descriptions: Allow you to enter text describing the file check-in. You can enter one description in the Checking In dialog and apply it to all files in the initial check in.

Note: If you do not check in a file when you create the project, the file will still be included in the PVCS Project Workfile list. When you attempt to check in the file, you can create the archive by choosing OK at the Create Archive message dialog.
