If path of the Diff - tool contains blanks, use "" around path.<b><br> Example:</b> instead of <span class="code">p4.diff_exe_path=c:\my diff tool\tool.exe</span> use <span class="code">p4.diff_exe_path="c:\my diff tool\tool.exe"</span><br> - If BranchView is in "offline" - mode, you cannot use Diff - tool anyway, this is limited by design.</p> </blockquote> </li> <li> <h2>BranchView forget preferences, setted in a properties dialog</h2> <blockquote> <p> - If you set any option in a properties dialog, this will be valid for all BranchView windows, running in a same Java virtual mashine. After a closing of all BranchView windows, all properties wil be stored in a property file. But if you run BranchView again <b>without</b> "-props" parameter, default options respectively startup parameter will be used, even if properties file exist and contains your changes. Currently is only usage of "-props" parameter force BranchView use properties file and as result, use you custom settings.</p> </blockquote> </li> <li> <h2> BranchView repaint the view to slowly</h2> <blockquote> <p> - If you try to load one big directory with many branches/revisions, then BranchView need lot of time to draw they all on screen...</p> </blockquote> </li> <li> <h2> BranchView don't shows the"extended" information about revision, shows it wrong or not all available information</h2> <blockquote> <p> - It can happen, that the tooltip will be "broken" because of too large amount of data, currently i haven't fix for this problem. Nevertheless, you can get this information from BranchView: select one revision, and with Ctrl + C copy the information about this revision into clipboard.</p> </blockquote> </li> <li> <h2> Is the source code available?</h2> <blockquote> <p> - Now yes!!! I'm absolutely sure, that only commented code is good code, and i hope, i have posted only good code.</p> </blockquote> </li> <li> <h2> Where is the source code available?</h2> <blockquote> <p> - Under Perforce (<a href="http://www.perforce.com">www.perforce.com</a>) public depot, path is: //public_depot/guest/andrei_loskutov/branchview</p> </blockquote> </li> </ol> <hr size="1"> <p><a href="../index.html">Home</a></p> </body> </html>
