FileType Initialization Variable

See Also

Indicates which type of file is used.

Syntax

FileType = {Binary|Text|Auto-Detect}

Example

Automatically detects the file type:

FileType = Auto-Detect

Remarks

This variable overrides VSS's automatic detection of text and binary files, and indicates that all files are text or binary. Generally, this variable is defined globally for all projects. If you use it, you should apply it only to specific subprojects when you know that all files in a subproject are of a specific type. For example, if you have a project named $/Executables with two subprojects $/Executables/DLLs and $/Executables/EXEs, you may want to put the FileType=Binary variable setting under the heading [$/Executables] to speed up Add Files and Check In operations.
