We use subversion. It seems everytime we regenerate, every file is updated regardless of whether or not anything changed in that file. I do see a timestamp at the top but I don't see how to turn it off.

How can I get the generator to only update files when there's a change?

Right now, everytime we regenerate, every object gets updated into the subversion repository so it's hard going back through version history and trying to determine what objects changed.

Set the TdlEmitTimeDateInOutputFiles property to False in Project->Properties. You can also set the default value of this property for new projects in File->Preferences

Thanks! Worked great. The files are still updating but since they don't change, subversion stays happy. It still would be nice if they had an option to not update files that don't need updating. I think other version control systems would still trip over the changed file timestamps.

Use the command-line code generator. Then you only need to put the lgp and template files in source control.
