File Types

[Guest]

How can i use a file type that Plastic say that's binary as a text file instead?

I see that I can change the type of one file; there are another form to do that in which I don't need to change the type of all existing files and the new ones?

Hi,

For the moment you have 2 different options.

The first one, you can configure the tool to use a specific merge and diff tool for that type of file adding a new rule for each one, on this way you can see text differences or do a textual merge for a binary file. For example you have a .scs file that the tool classified as binary and is a text file, you can change in the client.conf the merge and the diff tools of this way:

<MergeTools>
   <MergeToolData>
     <FileType>enTextFile</FileType>
     <FileExtensions>*</FileExtensions>
     <Tools>
       <string>mergetool -b="@basefile" -bn="@basesymbolic" -bh="@basehash" -s="@sourcefile" -sn="@sourcesymbolic" -sh="@sourcehash" -d="@destinationfile" -dh="@destinationhash" -a -r="@output" -t="@filetype" -i="@comparationmethod" -e="@fileencoding" -m="@mergetype"</string>
     </Tools>
   </MergeToolData>
   <MergeToolData>
     <FileType>enBinaryFile</FileType>
     <FileExtensions>.scs</FileExtensions>
     <Tools>
       <string>"bmergetool.exe" -b="@basefile" -bn="@basesymbolic" -bh="@basehash" -s="@sourcefile" -sn="@sourcesymbolic" -sh="@sourcehash" -d="@destinationfile" -dh="@destinationhash" -a -r="@output" -t="@filetype" -i="@comparationmethod" -e="unicode" -m="onlyone"</string>
     </Tools>
   </MergeToolData>
   <MergeToolData>
     <FileType>enBinaryFile</FileType>
     <FileExtensions>*</FileExtensions>
     <Tools>
       <string>binmergetool -b="@basefile" -bn="@basesymbolic" -bh="@basehash" -s="@sourcefile" -sn="@sourcesymbolic" -sh="@sourcehash" -d="@destinationfile" -dh="@destinationhash" -a -r="@output" -m="@mergetype"</string>
     </Tools>
   </MergeToolData>
 </MergeTools>

<DiffTools>
   <DiffToolData>
     <FileType>enTextFile</FileType>
     <FileExtensions>*</FileExtensions>
     <Tools>
       <string>mergetool -s="@sourcefile" -sn="@sourcesymbolic" -d="@destinationfile" -dn="@destinationsymbolic" -a -t="@filetype" -i="@comparationmethod" -e="@fileencoding"</string>
     </Tools>
   </DiffToolData>
   <DiffToolData>
     <FileType>enBinaryFile</FileType>
     <FileExtensions>.scs</FileExtensions>
     <Tools>
       <string>"bmergetool.exe" -s="@sourcefile" -sn="@sourcesymbolic" -d="@destinationfile" -dn="@destinationsymbolic" -a -t="@filetype" -i="@comparationmethod" -e="@fileencoding" </string>
     </Tools>
   </DiffToolData>
   <DiffToolData>
     <FileType>enBinaryFile</FileType>
     <FileExtensions>*</FileExtensions>
     <Tools>
       <string>binmergetool -s="@sourcefile" -sn="@sourcesymbolic" -d="@destinationfile" -dn="@destinationsymbolic"  -a -t="@filetype" -i="@comparationmethod" -e="@fileencoding"</string>
     </Tools>
   </DiffToolData>
 </DiffTools>

The other way is use a pipe to change the type of all files with a specific extension, using the same extension .scs in a windows platform you can use:

dir /B /S *.scs | cm crt - -type=txt

The folder path where the configuration file is located described in the link below, is not correct (at least not on Windows Server 2003).

The path is:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\plastic

Further, the option doesn't work for me anyway. I've added file extensions and they still show as binary.

With Plastic SCM 2.0' date=' you can customize file types.

Hi Jeremy,

Were the instructions good enough to customize your file types?
