You would not need to get locks for any text insets. Just the main document (unless you are making changes to the text inset itself).
With multiple writers it's good practice to use the exclusive lock feature of SVN with FrameMaker files. SVN can't merge FrameMaker's binary files and manually merging two writers' changes is a pain. Take my word for it. -Lief -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Mike Feimster Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2008 7:32 AM To: mbradley at techpubs.com; framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: RE: Text Inset Problem with TortoiseSVN Mike, This is shot in the dark, but are you using exclusive locks and the svn:needs-lock property? If so you might need to get locks for more than just the file you're opening. Mike -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of mbradley at techpubs.com Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 2:40 PM To: framers at 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 mike.feimster at acstechnologies.com.
