 Description  « Hide
I created a project for existing sources that I had checked out with an anonymous user.
After project creation Idea started asking "Do you want to add foo.iml" to CVS?
I hit "No" a couple of times, then realized that there are about 30 modules in the project, so I checked "Don't show again" and hit "No" again.

I expected this to mean "Don't show again and always use the same answer I give now".

Idea then hung for quite a while and finally came back with some dozen warnings
Error:cvs [server aborted]: "add" requires write access to the repository

Doh! It's really strange to click "No" and have it mean "No for this time. Yes for the 23 other times"!

I am not really sure what the best solution is.

  • Change text to "Don't show again. Always Add." That would still require me to click "No" 30 times
    Besides clicking "No" when the checkbox is selected is even stranger than before.
  • Buttons "Add all", "Add none".
  • Change text and meaning to "Don't show again. Remember my choice".
