Uhm, no. If you open the commit tool from explorer you get just a commit tool. As for the explorer extension stopping to work, we were bit by the shared TortoiseOverlay component we use from TortoiseSVN: http://tortoisesvn.net/majorupgrade.html Running repair usually fixes it. > The "editor" of the filter bar seems very comprehensive, but just a bit > of overkill.

I prefer having the diffs in a separate text widget. FWIW: The whole point of releasing 1.9 was to start getting feedback like this. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
