Problem with the new beta

Post by Piren » Mon 02 Aug 2010 11:17

Hi

Im using the latest beta 2.00.8 and it no longer works for me.

Using Visual studio Team System edition 2008 and TFS, it not longer compares files. It shows their names, but displays nothing and marks a it with a yellow triangle. (only the local file is shown correctly, any file from the version server does not load)

I've set the User Tools as specified in the documentation with this as the arguments:
C:\Program Files\Devart\CodeCompare\CodeCompare.exe
/SC=TFS /T1=%6 /T2=%7 %1 %2

Any thought of to why it wont work anymore?

To resolve the problem specify /WAIT command line option. The reason is that TFS removes temporary files immediately after external compare application terminates. We will fix the documentation soon.

Awesome! thanks a lot.


P.S - a really nice feature would be to also display next to each line it's submitter (same as Annotate does)

Thanks again :)
