Re: Update settings in WinCVS

OK, I know I'm bringing up something from way back (apparently) in
2005.....

BUT...

I'm running WinCVS v2.0.8.1 (build 1)

And so is everyone on my team. However, I am (as far as I can tell)
the ONLY one who actually has the "Create missing directories that
exist in the repository" button checked BY DEFAULT EACH TIME for an
update.

So, trying to see how I magically did this some time in the past, I
just have no idea.

So I hear you about it possibly being a bad idea (or in some cases
not). BUT - regardless, how the heck did I get it to default that
way!?!?!?!?!? And almost as important - how do I get it to NOT
default that way if I want to revert back????

hi, everybody!

When I import the project, I find some files such as "1.rar" has been imported as text file into the CVS ,but it's a binary file.

The import filter dialog shows all the file types in my project , I have to manually verify which file is binary file, How can I set the default import option as binary file to each file (I do not want to use the command line , command line is not convenient for users)?

YOU CAN CREATE A CVSWRAPPER FILE WITH THE APPROPRIATE ENTRIES - SEE
E.G. <HTTP://WWW.CVSNT.ORG/MANUAL/HTML/WRAPPERS.HTML> FOR DETAILS ON
WRAPPER FILES.

HTH,
