I've used TortoiseSVN with my FrameMaker files (along with my insets) for a couple of years and have not had any problems. Some thoughts:
+ Are the files stored on a server or locally? If they're on a server, are the writers using mapped drives? Are the drives mapped with the same drive letter (e.g., F:\)? + If the files are updated to a local directory on the hard drive, are all writers using the same directory structure? This should be exactly the same so that relative paths are maintained. I'm not convinced it's an SVN problem. My guess is that it may be directory structure related. -Lief -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 1:40 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Text Inset Problem with TortoiseSVN My client started using imported text insets for some boilerplate paragraphs. In the folder tree, the folder of boilerplate source files is at the same level as the folder of the FM book. Both folders are checked into TortoiseSVN, an open-source client for Subversion, a version-control program. Every time a different writer opens a FM file that uses one of the text insets, s/he gets an error message from FM saying the text inset is unresolved. Re-importing the text inset fixes the problem for that writer. Every writer opens the same FM file and imports the same text inset, so there's no reason for FM to lose the link. We copied both folders to a location outside SVN and the problem did not occur, so it has something to do with SVN. By the way, the book folder contains a subfolder of Xrefed image files, and SVN doesn't interfere with those links. We're going to try Xrefing the text insets instead of importing them, but Xrefing them means we lose the formatting and markers (Index and Hypertext) in the source files. So ... anyone know what's going on here with SVN? = Mike Bradley www.techpubs.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/lief%40netinst.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info. ____________________________ This email has been scanned. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
