Shadow_SetTime Initialization Variable

Specifies the date/time stamp given to files in the shadow folder. The date and time are specified in the same way that the SetTime initialization variable specifies the date and time given to files in your working folder. This initialization variable is used only in the Srcsafe.ini file.

Syntax

Shadow_SetTime = {Current|Modification|Update}

Remarks

The possible settings of this variable are defined for the SourceSafe Options dialog box, Local Files tab. The default setting is Current.

You can set this variable in the Srcsafe.ini file directly or in Visual SourceSafe Administrator. In Visual SourceSafe Administrator, use the SourceSafe Options dialog box, Shadow Folders tab and make your setting in File date/time.

Examples

Stamps shadow files with the current date and time when they are placed in the shadow folder:

Shadow_SetTime = Current
