[oXygen-user] Shared project files

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

The Oxygen project file contains only the structure of the project tree
and the display filters set in the Project view. The files that remained
open the last time when Oxygen was closed are stored in the user
preferences, not the project file so if different users keep different
files open that will not create a conflict in the shared project file. A
conflict between two copies of the project file can be caused only by
the two users setting different file filters in the Project view which
should be very easy to resolve (just one difference reported for example
by the diff operation of a Subversion application) by following the
sharing policy set for the team or by changing the structure of the
project tree in the Project view for which again I think the decision
belongs to the user of the Oxygen project (the sharing policy), not to
Oxygen. A quick diff in the SVN application should reveal the second
type of conflict immediately. Am I missing something?


Regards,
Sorin
