Hi,

In CVS, check-in messages are maintained inside text files if you add to them the following string. This is very useful when controlling code. Is this function available?

$Log: $

I noticed that you can see the check in messages by clicking the properties button when seeing the history....

You most likely refer to what is called "Keyword Expansion", and it's not currently supported in FtpVC. There's such feature request ("Support for keyword expansion in files of user-defined types during check-in ...") on the wish list at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=fvc_suggestions . Keyword Expansion is an ability to place certain information directly from the source control database into your file for you.

What you see in Properties dialogs is comments that users provide when files are checked in. These comments are stored in stub files and are maintained by FtpVC.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick reply. It is nice to know that this feature is being considered for future implementation.

Regards,

Hugo
