Dialog Box Options
Use date filter
Choose this option if you want to filter history by dates. Select appropriate
From date and To date values to set inclusive lower and upper
limits. If only a lower limit is used (which can be achieved by unchecking
the To date checkbox), all versions after the From date will be
retrieved. The opposite is true if only an upper limit is used.
Use version filter
Choose this option if you want to filter history by version numbers. Select
appropriate From version and To version values to set inclusive
lower and upper limits. If only a lower limit is used (i.e. To version
is blank), all versions after the From version will be retrieved. The
opposite is true if only an upper limit is used.
Use label filter
Choose this option if you want to filter history by labels. Select appropriate
From label and To label values to set inclusive lower and upper
limits. If only a lower limit is used (i.e. To label is blank), all
versions after the From label will be retrieved. The similar is true
if only a upper limit is used.
Use user filter
Choose this option if you want to filter history by user name. If this option
is used, only versions that were added or checked in by the user specified in
User field will be retrieved.
Include labels
Choose this option if you want to include label items. If this option is used,
each label will be shown as individual list item, and Label column will
be displayed.
After retrieval, the History dialog will be shown (example below is shown
when labels are included):
This dialog shows historical information for the selected file(s). This information
includes version number, file size (in bytes), action, name of the user who performed
the action, time of the action, comment, and label (if the version is a label; each label
is shown as a separate line in the list, with the same version number as the
main version entry). For versions that represent labels the label icon is shown
in the Version column. If history is shown for multiple files, file names
are also displayed.
Dialog Box Options
Properties
Show properties of the selected version. The Properties
dialog can also be used to modify comments and labels. If a version
item is selected, labels can be added, deleted, or modified. If a label
item is selected, only that label can be modified. Comments may be changed in
both version and label items. All changes in either version or label items are
reflected in dependent items. For example, if you delete a label from a version
item, the appropriate label item will be deleted from the history list view.
Get
Transfers the selected version to a local drive. This button
is enabled only if the option to store previous versions of files is enabled in
Project Options | Advanced. While multiple
versions can be retrieved, they have to be versions of different files; otherwise
the button is disabled.
View
Show the selected version. This button is enabled only if the
option to store previous versions of files is enabled in
Project Options | Advanced.
Delete
Deletes ythe selected versions and/or labels. You will be given
a choice to physically delete version files and/or only delete their records
from the history (i.e. from the stub files) (for version items), and to
delete labels (for label items). Note that the latest versions of files
cannot be deleted in the History dialog: they have to be deleted from
the main view.
Diff
Shows the differences between selected versions (if two
versions are selected) or between the selected version and the local file (if one
version is selected). This button is enabled only if yjr option to store previous
versions of files is enabled in
Project Options | Advanced. Also, this
button is disabled if more than two items are selected.
Rollback
Rolls back to the selected version. FtpVC
uses "safe" rollback: instead of erasing all versions of file to the selected
version it adds a new version that represents a copy of the selected
version. Note that you can always erase versions using the Delete
command.
Copy as Text
Copies history items as tab-separated text to the clipboard.
If you select Copy Selected Items, only the item(s) selected in the dialog
will be copied, while if you select Copy All Items, all items in the dialog
will be copied.
Close
Closes the History dialog.
