CCSv4: How to deal with write protected files?

Hi,
The SW version control server returns write protected files for any check out. How to deal with such files under CCSv4?
- How to work with Read only files?
-- Does an option exist to overwrite any read-only file? For some header files no dialog opens to release write protection.
TLCSID: 20
Best regards,

  • Depending on the SW version control you are using, there may be an Eclipse plugin for it that you can drop into CCSv4. These plugins often allow you to check in and out files from CCSv4.

  • Hi Ki-Soo,

    would a potential option to write to any write protected file be part of eclipse work or left to CCSv4 team? Does this option exist regardless of code version control use?

     

  • Playing around, looks like if the read-only file is part of your project, you have the option to make it writable from CCSv4. If you open the file in the CCSv4 editor (File->Open File) and it is not part of a project in the workspace, you cannot).

    This type of enhancement would most likely be Eclipse work (which we would like to avoid doing ourselves)
