<h1>BranchView FAQ</h1>
<ol>
    <li> 
        <h2> BranchView won't starts anyway</h2>
        <blockquote> 
            <p> - <a href="installation.html">Check</a> start parameter/configuration file/tool configuration 
                by P4 Client.<br>
                - Check Java version: BranchView run only with JDK version &gt;=1.2 .<br>
                - You must select one file/directory in P4 client, before BranchView can be started from 
                &quot;tools&quot; menu.<br>
                - If you use BranchView plugin for Eclipse, ensure, that you properly install <a href="http://p4eclipse.sourceforge.net/">P4Eclipse</a> 
                plugin too.</p>
        </blockquote>
    </li>
    <li> 
        <h2>I will use my custom Diff tool, but BranchView won't do this </h2>
        <blockquote> 
            <p> - Run BranchView and set &quot;diff tool path&quot; property (right mouse click on BranchView 
                window for BranchView menu) to path of your Diff - tool.</p>
        </blockquote>
    </li>
    <li> 
        <h2> BranchView won't run my Diff - tool</h2>
        <blockquote> 
            <p> - examdiff.exe is not in the system path?<br>
                -<a href="installation.html"> check</a> BranchView properties: &quot;diff tool path&quot; 
                should point to path of your Diff - tool. If path of the Diff - tool contains blanks, 
                use &quot;&quot; around path.<b><br>
                Example:</b> instead of<span class="code"> c:\my diff tool\tool.exe</span> use<span class="code"> 
                &quot;c:\my diff tool\tool.exe&quot;</span><br>
                - If BranchView is in &quot;offline&quot; - 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 
                only after restart or on next operation. After a closing of all BranchView windows, all 
                properties wil be stored in a property file. But if you &quot;kill&quot; BranchView task, 
                BranchView cannot save properties. Startup parameter will be used first, even if properties 
                file exist and contains other values. </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&quot;extended&quot; information about revision, 
            shows it wrong or not all available information</h2>
        <blockquote> 
            <p> - It can happen, that the tooltip will be &quot;broken&quot; 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>On JDK 1.4.1 for Windows (may be for other OS'es too) and BranchView version 
            &lt; 1.3 mouse scroll/drag does not work correctly. </h2>
        <blockquote> 
            <p> Workaround: none. Use <a href="links.html">newer versions of BranchView</a>. 
                <br>
                This is both bug in BranchView version &lt; 1.3 and on new 1.4.1 Swing 
                libraries from Sun. </p>

    <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>
