FIX: "PRG" File Type Missing in FoxPro File Group
ID: Q151004
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0
SYMPTOMS
Visual SourceSafe provides the ability to logically group files of
different types. For example, files that have a ".c" or ".h" extension may
be considered as Visual C++ files.
This functionality allows the developer to control the types of files
displayed in the List Files of Type option, which is displayed in many
Visual SourceSafe dialog boxes.
During Visual SourceSafe installation, FoxPro or Visual FoxPro is
automatically added to the File Group list in the SourceSafe Options dialog
box under the File Types tab. To observe this behavior, from the Visual
SourceSafe menu, go to [Tools][Options][File Types].
At the bottom of the dialog box, the FoxPro file types are displayed. The
file types shown are automatically grouped as FoxPro or Visual FoxPro
files. However, the *.prg file type, which is a major FoxPro file type, is
missing.
RESOLUTION- From the SourceSafe Explorer menu, select Tools. Select Options, and
then select File Types.
- In the File Groups dialog box, click FoxPro.
- In the File Types included in File Group dialog box, add a ; followed by a space and *.prg
at the end of the existing line.
- Click OK to close the dialog box.
NOTE: This change is only effective for the user logged on at the time the
change is made. This change is visible in the SS.INI file of the specific
user in the USERS folder.
To make this a global change, you need to modify the SRCSAFE.INI file in
the root folder of SourceSafe on the server.
The following entry in the SRCSAFE.INI file reflects the additional
reference to *.prg file types for the FoxPro product:
File_Types = foxpro (*.sct; *.scx; *.frx; *.frt; *.vcx; *.vct *.prg)
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been fixed in
Visual SourceSafe 5.0.
