Version Control

[GrahamL]

Hi
We are using version control on one of our projects
There seems to be no indication that a package is checked out by another user - only get notified when another user tries to check it out (a dialog is displayed when the attempt is made)

Is there a way to see who has what packages checked out?

You can write a search query to get all checked-out packages.

Look in t_package.PackageFlags, that's where the checkout info is stored.

Thanks
I'll look into it, although I would have expected an indication on the GUI

[Geert Bellekens]

Yeah, a visual indicated of "checked out by someone else" could be useful.

If you use Security with the option Require User Lock to edit, the checked-out packages will normally also have a red exclamation mark in the project browser
Not always, because you can unlock packages that are checked out, or lock packages that are not checked-out by you, but in most cases the lock status and checked-out status will be synchronized.
