The Commands tab has two lists of menu options.
• System-defined menu options (System menu options and toolbar buttons)
System menu options and toolbar buttons lists the menu options always shown as the [Tools -> Version Control]
sub-menus. These menu options also have an associated toolbar button on the Version Control toolbar. This contains
the six menu options associated with the most frequently used version control commands.
• User-defined menu options (User menu options)
User menu options lists user-defined menu options. Menu options defined in this list will be added to the end of [Tools
-> Version Control] sub-menus. If you wish to add menu options not included in the system menu options, they must
be defined in this list. User-defined menu options are not shown on the version control toolbar.
8.1.1 System-defined menu options
There
are six version control toolbar buttons. They provide you with a shortcut to the most commonly used version
control commands. Initially, when you first create a workspace, these toolbar buttons are inactive because you have not
yet associated any version control commands to them.
The toolbar buttons are equivalent to the six menu options on the [Tools -> Version Control] sub-menu. In other
words, selecting [Tools -> Version Control -> Get from VCS] will have exactly the same effect as clicking the Get
from VCS toolbar button. As the toolbar buttons themselves are fixed, the only operation that you can perform upon
them is to define which commands should be executed when they are clicked.
In order to invoke commands from the toolbar or the system defined options of the [Tools -> Version Control] sub-
menu, you must first define the associated commands that should be executed when they are activated. The names of
the options and their intended action are listed.
