QVCS is a cost-effective Windows version control system catered to small development teams. It offers similar features found in more expensive products and boasts a user-friendly interface with easy administration. The software includes an explorer style GUI and comprehensive help.
One of the main advantages of QVCS is the ability to quickly identify which files are checked out, which have changed since check out, and who recently made changes. This can be done easily, thanks to the directory recursion feature that allows users to view file data for a single directory or an entire project.
Additionally, QVCS enables common operations like check in or check out to be executed with ease. The tool supports both text and binary files and comes equipped with extensive online help and two tutorials to walk new users through the basics.
The GUI tool, called QWin, is another valuable feature of QVCS. QWin provides developers with a revision history of files, and the tool can filter and sort the revision history by various criteria, including file status, check-in date, filename, locker, etc. Reports can also be printed for the current list of revisions.
File filtering allows developers to limit the set of files displayed in QWin and perform operations on these files. Additionally, QWin supports file and project level operations, enabling users to check out a single file or all files in a project with the click of a button.
Finally, QWin's support for 'file groups' makes it especially useful for Delphi and Visual Basic users. Overall, QVCS is a great option for small development teams looking for a powerful yet affordable version control system.
