Re: Two WordPress related questions (plugins and post content)
It sounds to me like you're keeping too much of your project under version control. I don't know of any hosts off hand that would offer SVN support on a live server, and in any case SVN is generally not intended to be running on a live server because of the extra storage hit, among other reasons. With WordPress projects I generally only keep my custom theme folder under version control, and I then do an SVN export (to remove hidden .svn files) and upload the exported files to the web host. For the rest of your files I would suggest simply setting up some good system of automatic backups rather than versioning through SVN. Hope that is of some help. -Gabriel On Jan 13, 2:49 pm, Niels wrote: > Hello people, > > I started using Versions not long ago, and I'm still learning the ins > and outs of the SVN system.

open newly-added file from Timeline
I find the Timeline great at monitoring the changes made to various open-source projects. However, for newly-added files, clicking the file doesn't do anything. Modified files open up in FileMerge since it has something to compare against (the previous version). Versions attempts to do something with the newly-added files, there's a flash, but then nothing. Is this a known issue? How does one view these files from the Timeline? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Versions" group.

Re: Purchased / Registered Versions in Mar 27, 2009 - now it's telling me the Demo has expired.
Hi Richard, That's definitely the weirdest registration related error I've ever seen. Can you try deleting the "License" file from Library/Application Support/Versions in your home folder and registering again?

When I look at the Versions > About Versions, I get: "This copy is registered, thank you!" And it's telling me "DEMO Expired, Click Purchase." What? Versions 1.0.7 - Build 73 I registered with richar...@gmail.com. I'm looking at my license in my email. Contact me for further details, please.

Re: Registration problems
Sure - I'm trying to register a purchased copy of Versions. In the registration dialog, my name and email address are pre-entered, and I've cut-pasted the license key. I've clicked that I agree to the Terms, and when I click on 'Register', I get the error "Connection error. Please try again later". I'm running the following: Versions 1.0.7 - Build 73 OS X v.10.6.2 Btw, I have added an exception in the firewall for Versions. Thanks.

Re: Newb Question
Hi GJ, You can put any binary file under SVN version control. When you commit changes, the old version is overwritten. No special actions needed. The only caveat is that if multiple people have changed the same file, person 1 has committed them and person 2 hasn't yet, SVN has no way of merging the changes when person 2 hits "Update", so person 2 will have to pick which version of the file to keep. Other than that, it works fine. We have a lot of PSD files, PNGs and even a load of PDFs and pages documents in Subversion ourselves.
