Tab Items

Double click on a file

Specifies which command Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere should perform when you double-click on a file.

• Ask: Displays the View or Edit dialog box prompting you whether you want to view or edit the file.
  
  
• View: Displays the file only for viewing.
  
  
• Edit: Checks out the file to your working folder, and open it for editing.

Check in unchanged

Specifies how to handle the unchanged files when you perform the Check In operation.

• Ask: Displays the Check In Unchanged File dialog box prompting whether you want to create a new version of file on server.
   
• Check In: Updates the file to a new version even if no change was made.

Connection Type

Specifies connection type. Available options are Local Connection, Broad Band Connection and Narrow Band Connection. The proper selection will speed up the operations.

Max socket number

Specifies how many sockets are going to be during data transfer. It rangs from 1 to 20.

Use visual merge

Use delta transfer for data transfer

Uses delta transfer for data transfer. Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere supports delta transfer to speed up the transfer of files. In non-LAN connection, it can speed up the file transfer greatly.

Act on projects recursively

Specifies whether Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere acts recursively by default on all projects and subprojects during operations that support recursion. Since performing recursive operations can sometimes be a lengthy process, the default option is OFF.

Make Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere your default SCC Provider

Specify whether to make Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere your default SCC Provider. Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere provides a way for you to toggle among Source Code Control providers when using IDE integration. This option is helpful for individuals who occasionally need to switch between SCC providers and are familiar with the ramifications.

Always request exclusive locks

Sets the default option for the Request Exclusive Lock checkbox in the Check Out dialog box. An exclusive lock on a file means that no one else can check the file in or out while the current user has it checked out.

Check if the socket is valid before network operations

Automatically checks the network connectivity between Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Client and (Cache) Server when you perform an operation that requires network. If this option is checked, the client will automatically reconnect to the server or cache server when the network is invalid.

Setting folder for temporary files

Specifies the folder you want Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere to store temporary files. Type the full path in this textbox or click Browse to select one.

Delete all temporary files

Clears the folder storing temporary files.

Note: Creating your Temp folder locally, rather than on the network, may increase the performance of Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere.
