ok, so here are a couple of bugs. I am currently checking the result of a merge by checking the modifications. There are hundrets of modified files, dozens of added and deleted, and most are still "normal".
1) (critical!) I found that some files, that have been moved AND modified, are shown as "normal (+)". This is wrong, they must be shown as "modified (+)". I am checking all modified files, but if files are falsely shown as normal, then I don't check them. Also, when I open them, the path of the file in the current working copy is given to both sides of the external comparison tool (Beyond Compare 4), which then says "no differences". This at least is consistent with the wrong status, but it means you need to fix both. 2) I did not know the meaning of "+", so I eventually looked it up and via stackoverflow I found https://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-wcstatus.html. This page says, " Purple: Added items. Items which have been added with history have a + sign in the Text status column, and a tooltip shows where the item was copied from." First, + can also appear at normal. Second, the description of that + is quite hidden. You could put it in a separate paragraph, and use the term "(+)", since that is easier to find and actually what is written in the status text. Third, the mentioned tooltip is shown at wrong positions. Take the "check for modifications" dialog, select a file and then hold the mouse over the status of another file. The tooltip will be shown at the selected file, which is wrong, because it doesn't belong there. Also, the tooltip is shown over the line of the file, it should be shown underneath. If you scroll a bit, then the tooltip may even be shown outside the window, or outside the screen. One last thing: You may want to add a link back to your TortoiseSVN product main page in the document pages. I know that I did not buy the software (I will ask my boss to donate some money since we heavily depend on your software; I think he'll ask for an invoice). Therefore please apologize for my direct words, but that's just my language as a German Engineer. ;-) So at least I have to say a big THANK YOU for all the work you do for us -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TortoiseSVN" group.
