*.mia.brk and *.mia.fld files

Post by MarkElder »

Hello,

What are the *.mia.brk and *.mia.fld files used for? Specificially do I need to add them to source control. I think I figured out what the mia.bak file is for :), but these two have me stumped.

Thanks,

Mark

They store the breakpoint and code folding data. Yes, you should add them to source control.

I have a similar question about what has to go into source control. Could you please elaborate a bit on the purpose of .mia.brk, .mia.fld, and .mia.bak files?

If the .mia.brk files are only used for user-specified breakpoints, then I don't really need to store those in source control. If, on the other hand, the .mia.brk files store info that IA needs to reconstitute a project, then I would want to have them in source control.

The .bak file is a backup of the former script file that is created any time the .mia script file is saved.

.fld and .brk are optional and contain code folding and breakpoint information.

The .mpr file is the project file which contains references to source files, the main project .mia script, as well as .mia include files, the setup dialogs, patch references, and any support files.
