.cfg files[]

I beg to differ re keeping the .cfg file in source control. This file will automatically be created by the IDE every time it saves the project. So why bother keeping it in source control? --Dummzeuch 15:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The project configuration file contains project configuration settings. If you don't keep it in source control then any changes you made to the configuration will be reset to defaults when the IDE recrreates the file. Eddie 15:38, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
My experience is that the IDE overwrites that file and you lose any manual changes you may have made. I haven't checked that with the latest Delphi versions though, maybe this has changed.--Dummzeuch 12:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Please explain the colors[]

Certain files are displayed on different background colors (white, yellow, red). It would be useful to describe the meaning of the colors. I guess red = can be deleted without consequences (other than recompilation). But that'ts just a guess... (If the colors are explained elsewhere, a link may be in order. Don't forget people can come from everywhere to this page, e.g. directly from Google as I did.) 91.183.81.200 09:23, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

PS. The colors seem to correspond (with a few glitches) to the "Keep in source control" column. Is that their meaning ? 91.183.81.200 09:26, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
