I am using source control for all Delphi projects and I am a little bit annoyed by the __history folders. It’s possible to disable this feature as described here:
Delphi 2007 – How to avoid having a \history folder?
I find the history feature useful, but don’t want to have the __history folders in my source code. Is it possible to make the IDE write the history files outside of the source code folder?
I’m sure that you can’t keep the functionality and have the
__historydirectories stored elsewhere. If you want the functionality then you need the folders alongside your source code.The folders are hidden and so long as you configure your revision control system properly, you never need to be aware of them.
I would also recommend using Andreas Hausladen’s DDevExtensions which has a feature to delete the
__historyfolders when they are empty.
