Note

Changes here should be done carefully as wrong settings can cause disfunctionality.

These are config settings that may be changed:

Setting Data Type Unit Default Description
remotePollinterval integer milliseconds 30000 Poll time for the remote repository
localPollinterval integer milliseconds 10000 Poll time for local repository
PollTimerExceedFactor integer n/a 10 Poll Timer Exceed Factor
maxLogLines integer lines 20000 Maximum count of log lines shown in the log window
  • remotePollinterval is for systems which have notify for local file system changes (Linux only currently) this is the frequency it polls for remote changes. The following two values are ignored.
  • localPollinterval is for systems which poll the local file system (currently Win and Mac) this is the frequency they poll locally. The remotePollInterval is ignored on these systems.
  • PollTimerExceedFactor sets the exceed factor is the factor after which a remote poll is done. That means the effective frequency for remote poll is localPollInterval * pollTimerExceedFactor.
