Folks,
While I wait for someone to help sort out my problems
with Subversion and Perforce plug-ins for the IDL Workbench
(see other posts today), I had the opportunity to make
a change in another file that I have under Perforce
control.
IDL 6.4, if I open this file, and try to make changes
to it, IDL will refuse to write it, as Perforce has made
it read-only, and rightly so. I have to get over into
Perforce and open it for editing before IDL will write
it. Perfect.
In IDL 7.0, the Workbench noticed that this file is
read-only and just asks me if I want to change it anyway.
"Sure, what the hell. Save me some time." And it just
writes it!!! Perforce doesn't know a damn thing about it.
I'm not a big version control expert, but this don't seem
right. :-(
Cheers,
David
