Options for local copies of files.

Tab Items

Use read-only flag for files that are not checked out

Sets the read-only flag on files in your working folder. Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted assumes that files in your working folder that you don't have checked out are read-only.  Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted sets the read-only flag when you perform a Get Latest Version, Add, Check In, or Undo Check Out command on a file, and uses it as a signal that you have not been modifying the file.

Duration for file status caching

IDE caches file status. This option specifies the duration for the file status caching.

Compare files by

This option allows you to set how Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted determines if your local copy is up-to-date.

Replace writable files

When you get or check out a file, Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted copies the file into your working folder.  If there is already a writable copy of the file in your working folder, replacing the file may erase your work.

Set date/time on local files

This option allows you to specify how Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted sets the date/time for files in your working folder. The option you choose is the time you will see when you view files in the Windows Explorer.

End-of-line terminator

The end-of-line terminator for mergeable files may be specified using this option.

The EOL Terminator may need to be changed if the operating system where the working folders reside differs from the operating system Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted Client is currently running on. For example, if Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted Client is running on a Windows operating system but needs to retrieve files to a working folder that is on a Mac OS, you can change the EOL Terminator to Mac(CR) so that files retrieved to the working folder will be displayed correctly.

The options for end-of-line terminator are as follows:

Note: The EOL Terminator will not take effect if your local copy of file is the same as the one in the repository. The way how Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted determines if your working folder copy differs from the repository copy can be set in Compare files by option.
