Ignore Version Control configurations setting
« on: February 21, 2008, 06:08:37 pm »
I would like to be able to ignore some of version control configureations per user.
We are working with the corporate version with an Oracle database, and all of the models reside in one central database. The problem is that there are multiple departments and project teams that all have their own workset in the version control system. So for each workset I create a new version control configuration. Now there are two options, I can either have every user define a local path for each of the version control configurations, even if they are never going to work with that configuration, or I can tell the users only to define a local path for the project/department they work in, and leave the others blank. The problem with the first option is that for each configuration the users has to select a project in the VC, via a very clumsy UI. (select correct product, select correct workset, select project file). If the project is not in the default product/workset this process take a minute or so for each configuration (given that the user even knows where to look).
The second option, to configure only one VC configuration works fine, except for an annoying dialog asking whether the user wants to configure the VC configurations.
I would like to get rid of this annoying dialog, so a setting per user be able to ignore a certain configuration would be nice.

What do you think? Anyone already has a solution for this?

Hmm, I see that I've already asked for this when working with a previous client.
Well I need it again and unfortuately it hasn't been implemented in the meantime.
I'll send a feature request to Sparx.
