cvs update in QT creator

[ansmehta]

I created an empty project in Qt Creator and I added preexisting files in it which were checked out from cvs using our own scripts.
I specify my own make commands in Build and Run settings

Now I can do cvs diff,cvs commit on these files from QtCreator using options in Tools->CVS. But i'm looking for an option to do cvs update on all files in my project. How do I do that ?? I can see an option Tools->CVS->update project but it is disabled ??

Also I would like if we have all these CVS related options when we rigtht click on file name in solution explorer and there should be no need to go to Tools->CVS->...

The easiest way I have found is to ignore Qt's VC features and do them from the Windows shell, then I can right-click and "CVS Update", "SVN Update" or "GIT Update" depending on how the project is managed. I find this much easier than using Qt's built in version control features.

I'm using qtcreator on linux. So need to find a UI option in qtc creator to do cvs update

Linux should be easier as there is a vast amount of GUI tools for it, or you could just open an xterm and type "cvs update" :)
