Working Copy Preferences

To open the Working Copy preferences page, go to Options > Preferences > SVN > Working Copy. The option that you are able to configure in this preferences page are specific to SVN working copies:

• Working copies location - Allows you to define a location where you keep your working copies. This location is automatically suggested when you checkout a new working copy.
• Working copy administrative directory - Allows you to customize the directory name where the svn entries are kept for each directory in the working copy.
• When loading an old format working copy - You can instruct Syncro SVN Client to do one of the following:
  • Automatically upgrade - Older format working copies are upgraded to the newest known format.
  • Never upgrade - Older format working copies are left untouched. No attempt to upgrade the format is made.
  • Always ask - You are notified when such a working copy is used and you are allowed to choose what action to be taken - to upgrade or not the format of the current working copy.
• Enable working copy caching - If checked, the content of the working copies is cached for refresh operations.
• Automatically refresh the working copy - If checked, the working copy is refreshed from cache. Only the new changes (modifications with a date/time that follows the last refresh operation) are refreshed from disk. Enabled by default.
• When synchronizing with repository - The action that will be executed automatically after the Synchronize action. The possible actions are:
  • Always switch to 'Modified' mode - The Synchronize action is followed automatically by a switch to Modified mode of Working Copy view, if All Files mode is currently selected.
  • Never switch to 'Modified' mode - Keeps the currently selected view mode unchanged.
  • Always ask - The user is always asked if he wants to switch to Modified mode.
• Application global ignores - Allows setting file patterns that may include the * and ? wildcards for unversioned files and folders that must be ignored when displaying the working copy resources in the Working Copy view. These patterns are case-sensitive. For example,*.txt matches file.txt, but does not match file.TXT.
