Get Latest Version (Source Menu)
See Also
Retrieves the latest version of the selected files
from the repository and creates read-only copies in your working folder. You should have a working
folder set before using this command.
There are five possible outcomes using Get Latest Version command:
- When the file you are retrieving is not already in your working folder,
Dynamsoft SAW Standalone simply gets the file.
- When the file in your working folder is identical to the file you are
retrieving, and the local copy is read-only, Dynamsoft SAW Standalone does not retrieve or modify the file in any way.
- When the file in your working folder is identical to the file you are
retrieving, and the local copy is writable, Dynamsoft SAW Standalone does not replace the
writable file but modifies the attribute of the file into 'read-only'.
- When the file in your working folder is different from the copy in
Dynamsoft SAW Standalone repository, and your local copy is read-only, Dynamsoft SAW Standalone replaces
your local copy.
- When the file in your working folder is different from the copy in
Dynamsoft SAW Standalone repository, and the local copy is writable, Dynamsoft SAW Standalone behaves in
the way you specify in Replace Writable
option in Tools->Options->Files
Tab.
The way how Dynamsoft SAW Standalone determines if your local copy is different from the copy in
Dynamsoft SAW Standalone repository can be set in Compare files by option in
Tools->Options->Files Tab.
When allow multiple checkouts is enabled, you can use the Get Latest
Version command to retrieve other users' changes before checking in your
version of the file. A global setting may be set to enable Dynamsoft SAW Standalone to merge
with Get Latest Version command. You can set the Replace Writable
option to Merge in Tools->Options->Files
Tab.
