Global ignore pattern

2007-03-02 23:34  i1128    [permalink]

By default, TurtoiseSVN doesn't have anything filled in in the "Global ignore pattern" field in the settings. Depending on which language or platform you code for, this setting has a great influence on the number of files that may exist in the source directories, but generally only clutter the commit list as unversioned files. Add file masks (generally *.extension masks) of files you're pretty sure about you'll never want to commit to the repository (e.g. files your development environment uses to store personal data and preferences).

Masks are bold, followed by a short description. Feel free to add any if you use other than these:

*.$$$ Delphi temporary file, generally deleted when done.
*.dsk Delphi workspace and personal settings
*.dcu Delphi compiled unit.
*.~* Delphi backup files
*.scc Visual Source Safe repository information 
*.log Log files
*.ddp Delphi diagrams (though since Delphi 2006 the internal format is much more repository-friendly)
*.suo Visual Studio workspace and personal settings
*.db (or Thumb.db, though apparently TurtoiseSVN has trouble seeing this as a mask) Windows Explorer's thumbnail storage
*.lnk Windows Explorer shortcuts (supprised that you haven't seen the extension of a shotcut even with 'hide extensions' off? read about NeverShowExt)
*.chi Windows Help index file (generated the first time you open a *.chm file)
*.user Borland Developer Studio workspace and personal settings

Still hide extensions with 'Hide extensions for known file types' off

2007-03-02 23:47  i1129    [permalink]

Strange huh? Still, you still know one 'file type' that does this, and you might not even know. Shortcuts! By default they don't show their extension: .lnk. Even with 'Hide extensions for known file types' disabled. This is how the system is set up to do this:

Have a look in the registry (pres [windows-key]+R, type "regedit" and hit [OK])

The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT branch of your local registry defines all Windows needs to know about file-types (and more about interfaces and objects but that's another cup of tea).

First, the file's extension is looked up in the keys that start with ".", for shortcuts: ".lnk". This key might have more definitions, but generally this one first refers to another key in the default value, for shortcuts this generally is "lnkfile".

These keys define more about the file: which icon to show with it, which program to open it with, which commands to show in the context-menu... But the shortcut is a special one, notice the "IsShortcut" and "NeverShowExt" values, these tell the system that this is a shortcut, and to never show the extension, even when "Hide extension for known file types" is disabled.

So, to hide the extension on other file types (even on ones you create yourself), just add "NeverShowExt". To always show extensions on all files, delete all "NeverShowExt" fields.

DirFind

2007-03-15 21:14  dirfind     [permalink]

DirFind is a tool I created after using a number of different 'recursive directory' file content searchers (Windows' Search File Containing, Visual/Borland Studio File in Files, plain old "find" and "grep", ...) and content indexers (Google Desktop, Windows' indexing service...).

All of these tools still lack some feature that hinders you to get the full list of items you're searching. Either you loose the overview of which matches are important and which are not, or you can't specify enough options, or there's not enough data about which file matches why...

So in my personal spirit of [[re-inventing the wheel]] I started a new tool from scratch that had as much of the things I want all rolled into one. It's heavily based on [[Regular Expressions]] and the directory structure the files are in, but this has poven to be quite a good feature (at least for me). I hope you like it (let me know!)

There's one feature I added that has saved me a great deal of time. When searching for something in source-code, I found what I really was searching for is in the few lines in the neighbourhood of the matching line. If you double-click the matching file, the matching lines are shown. If you double-click a line, the few preceding and succeding lines are loaded and added to the overview. Update (v2.0): Now also each closest preceding line of the lower indentation levels are shown.
