This is not working for me... I copy Kochi-Mini-SVN-Installer to my plugins directory and run it as a plugin. It then goes through the procedures and asks me to quit LC. I do so, restart LC and when I open a script window, no changes have been made and the Kochi-Mini-SVN controls are no where to be found.
Running on Windows7 and LC 5.5.3. Any suggestions?
