Hi,

why is .mymetadata regenerated when opening a closed project? This makes it difficult to see if something really changed in the project when it is under source control.

Example.

commit changes
close project
open project
-> project is marked as ‘changed’, but the only thing changed is .mymetadata (which content really hasn’t changed)

I’ve tried to check .mymetadata in the ‘Ignored resources’ but it doesn’t get ignored at all.

Any workarounds?

if you are using CVS, the only way to ignore a checked in resource is to:

1) Delete resource (keep a backup of it somewhere else)
2) Commit the deletion
3) Drop the resource back in, it will be marked as a new file
4) Mark it as ignored
5) Commit the “ignored” state

As to why the file is regenned, I’ve filed an issue for us to look into it, I’m not sure why it would need to be.

Thanks for the cvs-tip I’ll try that. It would be nice if the file didn’t get regenned though…
