Re: FileMerge not found?
Aha!! I posted about this back in December and had given up since nobody replied, and eventually ended up resorting to BBEdit. Blah. Your answer didn't address my issue directly, but the tip about how Versions uses opendiff was the clue I needed. I had removed all of the development tools and moved FileMerge into my regular / Applications/Utilities folder. All I needed to do was copy opendiff from the install DVD into my /usr/ bin. Running the xcode-select commands you mention wasn't at all necessary to get it working in my case. FYI - To get opendiff from the DVD without reinstalling everything again: 1. Open the DVD and View Package Contents of the DeveloperTools.pkg file in the packages folder. 2. Copy the Archive.pax.gz file to your hard disk and extract it. 3. Inside the finished Archive folder you'll find a /usr/bin folder with opendiff inside. 4. Copy the opendiff app from there to your /usr/bin on your machine. You may need to use the Go To Folder menu in the Finder's Go menu to get to yours if you're not comfortable using the command-line. 5. You can also copy FileMerge from the /Developer/Applications/ Utilities folder if you need it again. Those exact steps got FileMerge working for me again in Versions without having to install the rest of the developer tools. YMMV of course :) Thanks again!

(fingers crossed) Long version: Versions uses the opendiff command-line tool – also part of a default Developer tools installation – to launch FileMerge. Normally when you install the developer tools, a shell script, also aptly named opendiff is installed at /usr/bin/opendiff. The sole purpose of that shell script is to somehow figure out where the real opendiff command-line tool is located (normally at /Developer/usr/bin/ opendiff). The opendiff shell script uses yet another command-line utility that's included with Xcode, xcode-select (also used to switch between different Xcode installations on one Mac) to do this. This opendiff script is the thing Versions tries to execute when you use FileMerge, if it does not exist, Versions looks in the most likely spot for the real opendiff command. I bet that if you open up a Terminal window on your Mac and run xcode- select -print-path, it will print out /Developer3.0. If that's indeed what you get, run sudo xcode-select -switch / Developer and everything should be fine, including the functionality of any other parts of the Developer tools or third-party apps that depend on this xcode-path to be set correctly. If I'm wrong, let me know, and we'll keep on looking. :) Cheers, - Dirk On Apr 27, 8:53 pm, Chris Williams chriswilli...@gmail.com wrote: I'm not quite sure what's going on but Versions is complaining that it can't find FileMerge: FileMerge Error - The FileMerge application could not be located. Please install Xcdoe Tools from the Apple Developer website. I actually already have FM installed and can run it stand-alone. It's located in /Developer/Applications/Utilities which I believe is the default location. One other clue that might help explain is that I originally had Xcode installed in another directory: /Developer3.0. I've since moved everything so it should be back to the defaults that Versions is looking for.. Any ideas? Should I trash my preferences or something? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Versions group.

Re: HTML instead of the bookmarks file (on first load)
Hi Yoav, Please run the Console application (it's in /Applications/Utilities), then launch Versions. Are you seeing any messages being written by Versions to the console?

Re: HTML instead of the bookmarks file (on first load)
Nope, no message at all. I guess it is an OS X problem, not a versions one. I just found out that skype is showing me XML instead of chat messages Maybe it's a faulty rich text component.

Re: HTML instead of the bookmarks file (on first load)
This sounds like a problem with WebKit, which is the framework we use to render HTML in Versions. A lot of Mac apps use this same framework for similar purposes, so it wouldn't surprise me if Skype also needs it to render chat messages. When you use the Safari browser to view web pages, does that work normally? If it doesn't, this definitely is a problem with WebKit. I'm not sure what the best way to fix this would be, besides reinstalling OS X. One thing you could try is to get the latest Mac OS X Combo update from Apple and run that. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/ Make sure you get a Combo update and not a regular one. There's a decent chance that installing that will replace the defunct version of WebKit. If that doesn't help, my best suggestion would be to reinstall OS X and choosing the Archive and Install option during installation — that should leave all of your own stuff and installed applications in the right place. Good luck :) Cheers, - Dirk On Apr 30, 3:02 pm, Yoav yoa...@gmail.com wrote: Nope, no message at all. I guess it is an OS X problem, not a versions one.
