Hi!

What are the advantages over ShellDetails plugin?

[thein]

Hi,

I've been using ShellDetails for over a year now and it worked great on my XP workstation! Unfortunately with Vista Microsoft changed the interface for columns in Windows explorer, so neither the Explorer nor the ShellDetails plugin do show any SVN columns That's why I decided to implement my own plugin which directly addresses TSVNCache.exe via the API...

[Lefteous]

I tried the RC versions of Windows Vista some time ago and ShellDetails worked just fine. I'm not aware of any interface changes.

Maybe you have faced the same problem as others and tried to use TC with the 64 bit shell extension version of TortoiseSVN which of course cannot work?


Here is a bug report: There is something strange about the units. Here it shows the units of the field "tc.file type" using a fresh installation. You have to set "Units" in ContentGetSupportedField to 0.

[thein]

Hi Lefteous,

indeed I'm running the x64 edition of Vista, but I've installed both x86 and x64 versions of TortoiseSVN. Overlay icons work well in Windows explorer and Total Commander, but neither one displays the special SVN columns

I've found the following statement on tortoisesvn dot net / vistaproblems (sorry, I'm not yet allowed to post a link)

special columns don't show.

The Windows explorer in Vista has changed quite a bit, and one of those changes was to abandon the additional columns but introduce a new "property system". Since the property system is file type based, we can't add a column for Subversion information anymore Sad

[Lefteous]

That's very strange as it really worked fine as I tested it. I can't remember if shell extensions worked though. Unfortunately I cannot test this as I don't have Windows Vista.

Can you confirm my bug report?

[thein]

I'm not touching the units variable at all and it works fine, but I'm only using ft_string and ft_numeric_32 fieldtypes...

Code: Select all

int __stdcall ContentGetSupportedField(int fieldIndex, char* fieldName, char* units, int maxlen)
{
  if ((fieldIndex < 0) || (fieldIndex >= sizeof(fields) / sizeof(fields[0]))) {
    return ft_nomorefields;
  }

  strlcpy(fieldName, fields[fieldIndex].name, maxlen-1);

  return fields[fieldIndex].type;
}

[Lefteous]

Here is an an even more detailed description of the problem. When I run a fresh TC installation like this

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD.EXE /i="%appdata%\tcfresh.ini"

and then installing the plug-in it will show the units of the field "tc.file type" which are "file", "folder" and "reparse point" as units for this plug-in.

Can you or someone else reproduce this?

[thein]

Hi Lefteous,

thanks for reporting this issue which arrises when no other plugin is loaded before SVNDetails or it is the only plugin. Version 1.01 fixes the problem...

Sorry, I've misunderstood your first bug report - I tried to reproduce a potential problem with ShellDetails regarding Vista

[Lefteous]

I can confirm that 1.01 solves the problem.

arrises when no other plugin is loaded before SVNDetails or it is the only plugin

I think in general it's only important that the last field of the plug-in before SVNDetails has units to reproduce the problem. By using a fresh installation I wanted to provide an easy way to reproduce the problem.

New Version 1.10 with support for TortoiseSVN 1.5.x available - visit http://www.inform-ac.com/download to download...

[khorner]

I just found out you can add svn columns to windows explorer (i'm using tortoiseSVN client) and was trying to do the same in TC.

I found this post in about 10 minutes after starting on the TC homepage.

This plug-in ROCKS! Exactly what I need, because I wasn't about to switch between Windows explorer and TC!

Thanks!

Can't install the plugin:

Error while loading plugin file!
The plugin probably needs some DLLs missing on your system.

TC 7.04, TortoiseSVN 1.5.3, Build 13783

Are you using 64-bit Windows? If yes, you need to install 32-bit TortoiseSVN in a different directory than 64-bit TortoiseSVN.
