This page displays options relating to checking files in and out:

settingscheckinout  

Update the status of local files when Locking/Unlocking - By default, when locking or unlocking files, Team Coherence will change the attributes of the local file to reflect the locked status. If you do not want this to happen, uncheck this entry. Note that this option does not affect Checkin or Checkout.

Show Checkout dialog when using 'Work With' link - By default, when clicking on the Work With link, Team Coherence display the Checkout dialog box if the file is not already locked by you. If this option is unchecked, Team Coherence will automatically checkout any files that are not already checked out without displaying this dialog.

Show Get dialog when using 'Open' link - By default, when clicking on the Open link, Team Coherence display the Get dialog box before getting the latest version from the server. If this option is unchecked, Team Coherence will Get the latest version of the file from the server, unless it is already locked by you, without displaying this dialog.

Force binary compare on Check in - By default, Version Manager uses a CRC32 calculation to determine whether a file has changed when carrying out certain actions. This enables data transfer between the client and server to be minimized. In some (rare) cases, it is possible that a modified file can have the same CRC as the original. If this occurs, Check this box to force a binary compare when Version Manager needs to find out whether files have changed.

Use matched open/close comments in $Log: - If this option is checked, matched comment pairs will be used when entering the $Log: comments in the source files. Certain editors do not like unmatched comment characters.

Ignore null characters during Keyword Expansion - During keyword expansion on specified file types, the null character (#0) is treated as the end-of-file character. Certain editors can insert null characters in the middle of file streams and these are treated normally by the editor. Checking this option causes Team Coherence to treat nulls in the middle of files as simply another character.

Pre-check files on Checkin - If checked, this option will double-check which files are locked by you before displaying the Checkin dialog box. This means that the Checkin dialog box will only list those files that are locked by you and will improve performance of the actual checkin process. If unchecked, all files selected will be included, whether or not they are locked.

Respect lock context for shared files during CheckIn - When shared files are checked out, they are marked as such for all shared copies. If you check in a file that has been checked out from within another share, the file will be checked in regardless of which context it was checked out under. If you check this option, only shared files checked out within the context of the current checkin context will be checked in.
