Diff. tool issue
« on: March 06, 2010, 01:43:06 PM »

first of all thanks for publishing this great program, i used a couple of text editor in the past but nothing suited my tastes as SUO.

Now my little question, using the Diff... tool in the Edit menu i see that SUO auto-detects my tortoiseSVN installed (and that's good), but if i give the two paths of files needed and press execute it opens the tortoisemerge program asking again for the paths, this losing all the advantages of it. Now i'm asking: is that a tortoise issue and if, there's a way to fix it?

some tech info, maybe the version i'm using is not fully supported:

TortoiseMerge 1.6.5, Build 16974 - 32 Bit , 2009/08/20 08:13:46
libsvn_diff 1.6.5,
apr 1.3.8
apr-utils 1.3.9

OS: M.soft Vista - sp2

Be sure that you have the files saved somewhere.  There is a pathing issue that people like 12X have found, and frankly I haven't figured it out yet because it never happens to me.  Also try moving the scripts to the same directory, or a different directory all together.  For me, I never have a problem, even in Win7.  If I could ever replicate the issues of others, then perhaps I could fix it.  Other than that, all I do is come up with two paths and throw the information over to TortoiseMerge.  I really don't do much otherwise.

Ah, so it's not just me. I'm using XP Pro sp3 and have the same 'double asking' of what files to compare.  I'll give the folder change a try.

Nah you're definitely not the only one. I've actually never gotten it to work, not sure why. I gave up on it a long time ago and just run diff's directly with Tortoise or with Notepad++. I figured one of these days I would give it another shot.

Now if someone could actually tell me what they are doing differently....

I have Win2000, Win2003, WinXP and Win7 and it all works great for me.  I only use AVG for virus scanning.

Would the location of the SUO executable be an issue? As it stands, my Tort path is:

c:\program files\tortoise

My SUO.exe is as follows:

c:\my docs\uo stuff\uo programs\suo.exe
*note, the first folder is 'my docs' and not 'my documents' or 'documents and settings'.*

I run SUO.exe from a shortcut I created in my Quick Launch toolbar.  The actual shortcut is in a folder in the Quick Launch toolbar that contains my other UO exe's, ...euo, razor, uo, uocart, map yadda yadda.

It's gotta be something like that.  I run SUO from the desktop, a network drive, a sub directory on the main drive, on a USB dongle for goodness sake!  No problems.  I use the TSVN default directory.  No problems.

Actually, I think I may have found a clue.  Try putting two scripts you want to compare right at your c:\ root.  Might be a path length issue when args are passed to Tortoise.

I'll definitely give that a try once I can actually run SUO.exe again.  I'm having issues running ANYTHING right now.  Anything using the .NET framework is giving me an "application failed to start...." error 0xc000007b.

Otherwise, I too had wondered if it was a path issue, specifically related to Tort. I didn't see much that I could change in the TSVN options/config, but I'll look there again.

Aww bummer.  That's happened to me before.  I just had to uninstall-reinstall the frameworks.

Interesting, I was thinking about this myself. I use the default folder for Tortoise. My script paths are usually along the lines of:

x:\easyuo\development\XIIxOveR's .....\filename1.txt and filename2.txt

I dragged two files to my desktop which normally a pretty large path.  No go, but when I dragged those files to c:\, it worked fine.

Always has worked for me because my scripts are kept on my server at z:\scripts

Ah cool, I was hoping that was the issue.  Unfortunately there's really nothing I can do to fix that since I'm just passing those parameters via command line to the TortoiseMerge program.  Stupid Windows!
