Hi Neal, There is a better way to achieve that, assuming you want to change to the "o" attribute: n cvs update -ko FILENAME n cvs commit -f -m "change keyword options" I know you can do this with the Tortoise GUI using the "command" option, you can't do the "update -ko" through the normal forms. I would just use the command line client though, in this case.

This is of course not recommended by anyone, but will quickly and easily get you what you want. The meta-information for each revision is listed at the top of the archive file. Check the "head" line at the top to see what the head revision is, then scroll down until you find the meta-information for that revision. One of the fields is "kopt" and you'll see the flags next to it, in my case I use "kvx;". Change this to what you want and save the archive. There is a command called "admin" that was originally intended to be able to do this with the "-ksubst" flag, but apparently the makers of CVSNT decided that changing the k-flags wasn't something they wanted to support: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/admin.html As far as I know there is no way to change the k-flags after the origianl "Add" is done, except for the direct edit of the archive as I mentioned above. I would be delighted if somebody knows better than me!! -Neal ----- Original Message ----- From: Janis <mailto:[email protected]> To: tortoisecvs-users-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org Sent: Friday, March 26, 2010 3:08 PM Subject: [TortoiseCVS] Change keywords for already added files --> Hello! Is it possible to change keywords after a file has already been added. For example, I have added files with the (default) option to manage keywords normally (-kv), and they already have some update history by now. However, I want to stop keyword updates, to disable them (-o) from now on. Is it possible not losing the history, or I can only remove the file and re-add as a new one with keywords disabled?
