Well said, TheDo. And you're right, I could work around this using the Terminal, but I've come to love the GUI (and having grown up on DOS and swearing as a kid that I'd *never* use a GUI, that says a lot :) and Versions specifically.
For what it's worth, the other well-made OS X SVN client that I was evaluating Versions against still supports PPC (though 10.5 is required). Depending on Sofa's response, I guess that's my alternative -- at least, until they drop PPC support too :/ On Feb 28, 1:23 am, TheDO Webmaster <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with you.
