Show Lock Status

[floerio]

Hi,

we use EA together with CVS. Is there a way to show the status of the CVS lock a little bit more elegant than "right click on object - package control - file properties"? Is there a way to customize the context menues or even the project tree to add another symbol if an object is locked?

Hi Oliver,

This idea had been discussed during design, however the performance degredation it introduced was deemed impractical. Displaying lock status on the tree would mean constant communication with the remote version control repository, and would incur a significant hold up period every time the tree is drawn (especially in a WAN environment).

The status of various items on the context menu should give away that the package is checked out out to another user - ie If Check Out is disabled on a checked in package, it's safe to assume that someone else already has it checked out.

Ok,

thanks for your answer!
