Controlling Execution
The “General” tab of the “Version Control Setup” dialog (figure 8.13) allows you to control the way in which
the version control tool is executed. It also shows the full path to the current version control configuration file.
8.4.1
Prompt before executing command
If this check box is set then, before any version control commands are executed, a dialog is displayed (figure
8.15) which lists all of the files involved in the operation. Files may be deselected by clearing the associated
check box. Clicking “OK” will apply the command to each of the selected files. Clicking “Cancel” will abort the
operation.

8.4.2
Run in DOS Window
By default, the output of the version control commands is redirected to the “Version Control” tab of the “Output”
window. If you would rather run each command in a separate DOS window then set this check box.
8.4.3
Use forward slash ‘/’ as version control directory delimiter
By default, when the HEW substitutes the placeholder $(VCDIR) it uses the backward slash character ‘\’ to
divide directories. However, if the version control system you are using uses a forward slash character (e.g.
Visual SourceSafe) to divide directories then set the “Use forward slash ‘/’ as version control directory
delimiter”.
8.5
Importing and exporting a Set-up
Each workspace can have a different version control set-up. The HEW allows you to store the version control
settings independently so that you can import them into other workspaces. This greatly reduces the amount of
time it takes to configure the same version control settings across several workspaces.
To export a version control set-up:
1. Select [Version Control->Configure…]. The dialog shown in figure 8.1 will be displayed.
2. Click the “Export…” button. A standard file save dialog will be displayed. Browse to the directory in
which you would like to save the configuration.
3.
Enter the name of the file and then click “OK”.
