PRB: History in Explorer Differs from History File w/ Keywords
ID: Q146017
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows versions 5.0, 6.0
-
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0
SYMPTOMS
When the History keyword is used, the file's history is reflected in
the document. However, this listing may be different from the listing
displayed in the Explorer. The history prior to the point when keyword
expansion was implemented will not be reflected in the document.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATIONSteps to Demonstrate Behavior
- Create a new project, and add a file that has a .txt extension. Check
the file out, make some modifications, and check the file in. Do this
several times to establish some history entries.
- Enable keyword expansion. In the Srcsafe.ini file, ensure that the
following entry exists:
Keyword_Masks = *.txt
- Restart SourceSafe, check the file out, and add the History keyword to
the file ($History: $). Check the file out, make some modifications and
check the file in. Do this several times, and then compare the history
entries in the file to the entries in the Visual SourceSafe Explorer.
Only the entries made after Keyword expansion went into effect will
appear in the file.
