VsTortoise has been downloaded about 100 times so far. One user reported VsTortoise displays a “Resource not found” error when he starts his german Visual Studio 2005 standard edition. I don’t understand what causes the problem yet, since I specified the en-US satellite DLL that comes with VsTortoise as ultimate resource fallback. I wonder whether this is a common problem or occurs on his computer only.
Does VsTortoise works with your (non-english) Visual Studio version?
Please leave a comment with your Visual Studio version, Visual Studio language and if it works for you. (javascript must be enabled to post comments)
Works with my english Visual Studio 2008 standard edition.
Works with Visual Studio 2005 pro (english)
Works with Visual Studio 2008 professional (german). There are no images for any VsTortoise button though, but no error occurs at startup.
Well it’s probably no surprise but VsTortoise works for me on an American Visual Studio 2008 (Standard Edition). I haven’t had any crashes yet.
But since we’re talking about feedback I figured I’d give a few suggestions:
- I wish there was a way to be able to directly manipulate the files in the solution explorer without opening it, perhaps something like right-clicking on the file and getting an SVN menu would be enough.
- It’d be nice to see that tortoise feature where it tells you if the file is modified, not added, or untouched.
Hello Edmundito,
thanks for your feedback!
Adding buttons to the solution explorers context menu is on my personal wishlist and will be added eventually. Probably after I’ve sorted the non en-US resource problem.
For the second feature, I guess you refer to overlay icons in the solution explorer that show the svn status of a particular file. I’ve thought about this too, but all solutions I mentally came up with require file system hooks to get notified when the svn status of a file has changed outside of Visual Studio.
Here is why I’ve not added this feature to VsTortoise yet:
1) I don’t want to install anything that would slow-down the system or IDE and file system hooks kinda do I guess. It makes it also pretty complicated and error-prone (i guess).
2) When I drop the file system hooks idea, the solution explorer svn status icons could run out of sync with the actual status if you perform a commit outside Visual Studio for example. I’m not really sure if out-of-sync-icons are a big problem, but showing no status rather than an incorrect status was the better choice for me so far.
3) On the other hand, I could ignore all svn operations done outside of Visual Studio, live with the out-of-sync-icons problem, provide a “Refresh” button.
I’m not really happy with any of the three points so far
[...] anyone is interested in the project, feel free to contribute. Patches for the resources problem are welcome. I don’t have a german Visual Studio version, so it’s more like poking [...]
I tested with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition – ENU SP1. Installed twice but anyway the menu was empty, there was no items. My OS is Win 2K.
Hey Ints,
this issue should be fixed with VsTortoise build 21 beta:

Please let me know if it works for you.
Thanks
