why are (cvs) "remove from view" settings non-persistent [message #452632]

Originally posted by: claytontong.netscape.net

in the Team Synchronization view, there is an option to "remove from view"
a file or directory; this removes said file from being displayed so as to
allow a way to remove clutter from the view. All fine and good. However,
as documented in the manual, these settings are not saved and you will be
placed back at square 1 after you destroy the workspace and start over.
Does anyone know why this was chosen instead of saving these settings so
that they are retained from session to session?

AFAIK, the setting is saved "until the synch state changes" (e.g., if you make a further change to
the resource[s] removed from view). Of course recreating a WS (a major life-cycle event) changes the
synch state, of *all* resources.

Because this is a feature to remove files not to be synced from the sync
view during the current sync. You should still have the capability to
sync the resource upon another time.
If you want to ignore resources during sync you will have to add them to
the .cvsignore file.
This will only work if the file being added wasn't allready committed.
If anybody know a way of making a file being ignored after being
committed I'd appreciate them telling.

Stefan

It's tricky but can be done.

a) add it to .cvsignore (probably you already have done that)
b) move the file to somewhere outside eclipse (so now it is gone from the WS)
c) commit (so it gets deleted from the repository)
d) get *everyone* who is checking out to update (so it gets deleted from their WS too; if they do
need a local copy, get them to imitate steb "b")
e) now retrieve the file from its temporary location

I say I did this (more than once), but not lately, and I may have missed a step in my description.
Step "d" is the tricky but crucial step.

HTH,
Paul

This will destroy the history of the file if I ever choose to add it
again right?

Thanks for the tip
Stefan

Not sure -- we never tried that. However, generally when I delete a file from CVS, then later
recreate it under the exact same path/name, the old history seems to come back.
