[ClearCase] Developer Studio wants to modify .DSP files on open

[Emerick Rogul]

I just started using ClearCase on Windows at work. All of our
Developer Studio project files (.DSP) are under ClearCase source
control. When I attempt to open a workspace containing these
projects, Developer Studio prompts me on every single project file,
telling me that the .DSP file is read-only and asking if I want to
check it out. Since I have many projects in my workspace, it's a real
chore to click "No" on every dialog that pops up.

Is there a way to tell Developer Studio that I don't want it to try to
check out (or write to) .DSP files when I open a workspace? Or am I
just doing something wrong? Why does Developer Studio want to write
to the project files when I open a workspace?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Check your ClearCase manuals. I seem to remember them having a list
of file types from Developer Studio that you do and *DO* *NOT* want to
checkin. I forget, but DSP may be on the "do not" list.

Even if it's on the "do" list, they'll probably have suggestions that
answer your question in there.
