Dialog Box Items

To

Type the path where you want SAW for VSS to place the files.

Recursive (project-level Get only)

Get a project, all the files in the project, and its subprojects. Each file in a subproject is copied into its own working folder, which can be a folder anywhere on your computer or an accessible remote computer. To override the working folder settings, and create a file structure that mirrors the SAW for VSS project structure, use the Build Tree option.

Note: The cloaked project will not be got.

Build Tree-Override Working Folders (project-level Get only)

Override the working folder set for the subprojects involved in a recursive operation, and builds a project tree on your local computer that mirrors the project organization. Working folder settings for individual subprojects are ignored. Available only when you select the Recursive check box.

Make Writable

Set the read/write flag so the file is writable. This is not the default behavior, but may be useful if you want to try a temporary change in the file, or want to rename the file after getting it.

Replace Writable

Determine how SAW for VSS behaves when you try to get a file that is already marked as writable in your working folder. Select one of the following in the group box:

Ask: Ask you what to do when a writable version of a file is found.

Replace: Replace the local file with the version on the server (and lose all local changes).

Skip: Leave the local file alone (not retrieving the latest version from the server).

Merge: Attempt an automatic merge using SAW for VSS's ability to do a two-way or three-way merge.

End-of-line terminator

The end-of-line terminator for files may be specified using this option. The options for end-of-line terminator are as follows:

• Mac(\r)
• Windows EOL(\r\n)
• Unix EOL(\n)

By default, the End-of-Line terminator option will be set in Files Option tab. The End-of-Line Terminator option can be changed if the operating system where the working folders reside differs from the operating system being used by the SAW for VSS Client.

Set File Time

Change the time assigned to the get operation. Select one of the following in the list box: current time, last file modification time, last file check-in time, or the default time (set on the Files Option tab).
