Very nice and extremely useful app, but ...
by Chris on Tuesday 17/Apr/2007, @01:58

... my #1 wish for future versions would be icon overlays in Konqueror to indicate the status of versioned files. Those who ever used TortoiseSVN know what I mean. I know that this is not currently possible with Konqueror, as Rajko told me in reply to a bug report, so this plea goes to the Konqueror devs: Please add an interface (D-Bus?) for the KDE 4 version of Konqueror (and maybe Dolphin) to make this possible. :-)

Best regards and thanks for this great program,
Chris

I use TortoiseSVN at work and like it too.
But the overlay is what I don't like. Specially when you have more than e.g. 200 project files, you don't get an overview about changed files. The file list is too big and you have to scroll. Crazy file icons make it even worse.

I like the different view modes of konqueror. Viewing directory contents like a file manager or viewing directory as a repository incl. a lot svn information.

Regards, Mark

I think both are useful.
- overlays to see what's changed in one folder.
- a list of files for lots of changes. I use the "SVN commit.." menu in TortoiseSVN for that.
- and perhaps a "svn diff | colordiff" overview because it still does things I can't do in a GUI.

I really like how TortoiseSVN does things. Konqueror/kdesvn should learn from it too.

Why don't you switch to the kdesvn kpart?
konqueror will nicely embed it and show you icons with overlays.

And if you have
Settings -> Save View changes per folder,

konqueror will automatically switch to kdesvn mode each time you enter the directory again.

I have currently the same problem with Kdesvn and rapidsvn.
Both clients are - hate to say that - lightyears away from
TortoiseSVN. Kdesvn have IMO a lot of bugs. After
update it says the files need a update in a loop. A commit fails
with a locked file and so on. It ofen crash.
If it hangs totally, i have to reboot Windows to fix the
situation in TortoiseSVN.

Even TortoiseSVN supports drag and drop to create a versioned
copy from e. g. branch to trunk. rapidsvn looks like to work
a bit better, but doesn't have drag'n drop and my try to
move a folder fails.
