Re: [fossil-users] fossil for photos archive?

Personally, I'd agree that a generic version control system isn't a good place to store archives of photos. It might be a good place to store the source text and page layouts of a photographic presentation (slide show, coffee table book, etc.), however. At 09:27 AM 1/11/2012, Tomek Kott wrote: >I

Hi, I use unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) for sync and rdiff-backup (http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/) for backup. It would be great to use fossil for this kind of tasks (also organizing large collections of pdf papers comes to mind) but I don't use it because it is uneasy to

I think that there are two issues at play here, at least how I separate them personally: 1) Sharing photos with family / friends etc 2) Backing up / saving photos you've taken For #1, I just use a php-based gallery sharing software. I'm considering integrating it with facebook logins a filtering

Isn't this really a crash of the fossil executable? Running fossil revert pops up the standard wrong pointer messagebox from Windows (here running XP): Instruction at "0x0042eae9" use memory address "0x7c00ae00". Can't be "read". Click on "OK" to exit program. On clicking OK I get the rest in

Unless this is not the whole story, this is not a crash, Fossil gives an error. Did you try the solution suggested in the error message? Try a "fossil rebuild" from the checkout. Mark -Original Message- From: fossil-users-boun...@lists.fossil-scm.org [mailto:fossil-users-boun...@lists.fo
