Re: Set default to Open for Browse in Open member (CTL-Shft-A)

Thanks for the suggestion Charles. I (being an outside consultant) was surprised that the production source files weren't locked down and only editable if checked out and in the development environment. When I mentioned this to the administrator she said that she would add this to her list of things to do.

I will confirm this when the authorities have been changed. But I think your suggestion will work. In order to break large projects down to smaller tasks we create a temporary developer for only the task's objects. So if you forget the change your developer id to the temporary id and try to edit a member the member always opens in browse mode. I think the same will happen when the authority to the production source files is revoked.

Thanks,

Rob

Robert,

I don't know...

However, you may want to consider removing your write access to the
production source files in which case RDi will offer to open them in browse
mode when you try to open them in edit.

Hi folks, we use Aldon LMi for change management to when a member is
open to edit we always use the LMi connection.

But if just want to browse a member I'll typically use Ctl-Shft-A to
open the member. The default is to Open for Edit. Almost all the time
I only want to browse so to select to Open for Browse is a couple extra
key strokes.

Searching the archives I found this thread
(http://archive.midrange.com/wdsci-l/200704/msg00372.html) from Violaine
(now there's a name from the past). Does anyone know if the preference
ever got added?

Thanks,
