Labelling shared resources

[davecourt]

Hi,

Could anyone confirm how labelling shared items work?

If I have a project which amongst other files contains shared files/folders, if I label this project/folder, will it take a label of the shared items too (as a snapshot) exactly how those shared items exist at that moment in time.

Therefore if shared items are changed, the labelled project/folder will not change.

Hope my question makes sense!

Thanks in advance

Dave:

Both Label and Snapshot will annotate / store the version of the shared files as they appear in the folder structure.

$/a/x/fileshare.txt (v5)
$/a/y/fileshare.txt (v5)

If you either Label or Snapshot $/a, fileshare.txt will exist as version 5 in the label / snapshot from that point on, regardless of what happens to fileshare.txt after the fact.

Now imagine a new scenario:

$/a/x/fileshare.txt (pinned to v2)
$/a/y/fileshare.txt (v5)

If you either Label or Snapshot $/a, $/a/x/fileshare.txt will contain version 2's info and $/a/y/fileshare.txt will contain version 5's info. However, both versions are frozen, and changes to the original fileshare.txt will have no effect.

Does that answer your question?
