<h1>Subversion: Property Editor</h1>
<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>The Subversion Property Editor serves as an interface allowing you to apply arbitrary metadata to files or directories. Metadata is maintained in the form of Subversion properties, which are name/value pairs associated with items located in your working copy.
<object classid="java:org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.BrowserDisplayer">

</p>
<p>With the Property Editor, you can add, modify and delete properties associated with a given file or directory. In the editor, specify the following:</p>
<table summary="User interface elements and descriptions" dir="ltr" border="1" width="100%" frame="hsides" rules="groups" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<col width="24%" />
<col width="*" />
<thead>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<th align="left" valign="bottom" id="r1c1-t17">Element</th>
<th align="left" valign="bottom" id="r1c2-t17">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td align="left" id="r2c1-t17" headers="r1c1-t17">
<p>Property Name</p>
</td>
<td align="left" headers="r2c1-t17 r1c2-t17">Specify a name for the property you want to add to the selected file or directory. You can enter your own name, otherwise select a Subversion reserved property name from the drop-down list.</td>
</tr>
<tr align="left" valign="top">
<td align="left" id="r3c1-t17" headers="r1c1-t17">
<p>Property Value</p>
</td>
<td align="left" headers="r3c1-t17 r1c2-t17">Specify the value(s) you want to associate to the property name.</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- -->
<p>You can add a property to a selected file or directory by clicking <b>Add</b>. The IDE performs the action of attaching the specified property to the selected file or directory. The name/value property pair displays in the Subversion Properties table displayed at the bottom of the editor.</p>
<p>If you are performing changes on a directory and want to add the specified property to all files and directories included in that directory, select the Recursively option located next to the <b>Add</b> button.</p>
<p>The <b>Refresh</b> button is designed to be used only in circumstances where property files can be modified externally.</p>
<p>When working with files or directories that contain many properties, it can be useful to sort properties alphabetically by name or value. To do so, click on the <b>Name</b> or <b>Value</b> heading in the Subversion Properties table displayed at the bottom of the editor.</p>
<p>You can remove a property from a selected file or directory by clicking <b>Remove</b>. The IDE performs the action of deleting the specified property to the selected file or directory. The name/value property pair is removed from the Subversion Properties table displayed at the bottom of the editor.</p>
