Checkout while editing

Indicates whether LN Studio must prompt you to checkout a software component when you edit the component in the corresponding editor.

Select one of the following options:


Never	You cannot check out a component while editing. To change a component, you must first check out the component and then start the corresponding editor.
Prompt	You can check out a component while editing. If you try to change a component, which is not yet checked out, you are prompted whether you want to check out the component. If you click Yes, the component is checked out so you can change it. If you click No, the component is not checked out so you cannot change it.

The default option is Prompt.

Decorations

Append version information to resource name: If this check box is selected, LN Studio appends the version and release information of the application to the resource names displayed in the Activity Explorer view.; For example: 7.6_a4

Show image decoration for dirty resources

If this check box is selected, LN Studio displays a

decorator in the Activity Explorer view for each resource not in sync with the LN server.

A resource is dirty if the version stored in your local workspace differs from the version on the LN server.

Resources can become dirty if the Build Automatically option is turned off: When you save changes you make to a resource, the changes are saved in your local Eclipse workspace. However, the software component on the LN server is not updated.

You must build the component to synchronize the local resource and the LN server. The decorator disappears automatically.

Text decoration for dirty resources

The character entered here is displayed as a prefix to the names of dirty resources in the Activity Explorer view.

A resource is dirty if the version stored in your local workspace differs from the version on the LN server.

You must build the component to synchronize the local resource and the LN server. The prefix disappears automatically.

End Activity Behavior

The activity disappears from the Activity Explorer.; If this check box is cleared, the activity is ended partially when you run the End Activity command in the Activity Explorer. The activity is still present in the Activity Explorer.
