SUMMARY
=======
The Srcsafe.ini file is the SourceSafe initialization file, and it must be
present for SourceSafe to operate. The Srcsafe.ini file in the Server
installation directory serves as a default for all users. The administrator can
modify this file to change the behavior of SourceSafe. This article lists the
default settings present in the Srcsafe.ini file.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The default contents of the Server's Srcsafe.ini are as follows:
; srcsafe.ini
;
; Three of these variables -- Data_Path, Users_Path, and Users_Txt --
; must be in Srcsafe.ini. Any other variable here can be overridden in
; Ss.ini.
; Similarly, any Ss.ini variable can be placed in Srcsafe.ini to set a
; system "default," which individual users can still override in Ss.ini.
; The two important paths used by SourceSafe.
Data_Path = data
Temp_Path = temp
; This tells admin where to put personal directories for new users.
Users_Path = users
; From this, find users.txt; from that, in turn, find ss.ini for a user.
Users_Txt = users.txt
; The following line contains common file groupings.
File_Types = Visual Basic (*.bas;*.cls;*.frm;*.frx;*.res;*.vbp;*.mak),
Visual C++ (*.cpp;*.c;*.hpp;*.h;*.rc;*.mak), Visual FoxPro
(*.pjt;*.pjx;*.frx;*.frt;*.scx;*.sct;*.vcx;*.vct;*.lbx;*.lbt;*.qpr;*.mnx;*.
mnt), MS Test (*.mst;*.inc)
The Visual SourceSafe 5.0 Srcsafe.ini contains the additional entries:
Img_File = HTMLFILE.GIF
Img_Folder = FOLDER.GIF
These set the glyphs used in displaying Folders and Web Projects.
