I'm using the Netbeans 6.5 beta (Build 200808111757) under Sun'd JDK 1.6.0_02 on Windows XP, with a snapshot view. When I multi-select a mixture of files (some text, some binary) and select Add To Source Control, the resulting window has "Add As Text" in the Action dropdown against all the entries; even though some files are common binary types (e.g. JPEG or GIF images) they still appear with Add As Text. I haven't gone back and checked, but I'm pretty sure when I've done similar operations in the past with CVS/SVN these file types default to being added as binary, and it would be nice if that were the case here as well. Having said that, I notice that even if I leave everything on Add As Text or deliberately select Add As Binary for a text file, in the Clearcase output window the "Created element ..." lines still have "(type "text_file")" and "(type "file")" as appropriate anyway, which make me wonder why the Action dropdown makes the distinction? It seems to me that the issued 'cleartool mkelem' command uses the default automatic file typing anyway, rather than passing a -eltype parameter based on the dropdown's value. In which case, wouldn't "Add"/"Do Not Add" be sufficient?
