LabVIEW
Using Beyond Compare as your TortoiseSVN Diff Program for ZIP Archives
Jim,
I don't suppose you know a good freeware application that shows me the differences in my VIs
Of course I know NI will happily sell me something to do this!
I have been using TortoiseSVN lately, teaching myself as I go along, so far I am very happy with it. The trick is just to stick with it, the understanding will come!
Unfortunately, I have not found a good equivalent for TortoiseSVN for Linux, i.e. with the SVN options built into the right click contect menu in the explorer. There is KdeSVN but it's a separate application.

Hi All,
Sorry for the delay in response. I somehow didn't get subscribed to receive email when new postings were made to this thread and I just now noticed all of the questions, here 🙂

nrp, there is a tool called LVDiff that integrates with LabVIEW's build-in compare VIs feature. And, in LabVIEW 8.5, LabVIEW has a merge tool called LVMerge. On linux, I use smartsvn.

I am looking to start using source code control in my projects. We have Tortoise here, is this a good option with LV? is there something better. What is the community using for source code control?
The OpenG community uses svn and TortoiseSVN. I love it.

Subversion will integrate into LV's source control mechanism through a 3rd part interface plugin that you have to buy. I haven't used it myself (TortoiseSVN works so well there hasn't been any motivation) but it seems to have been built against a very old version of Subversion and doesn't seem to have been updated lately. A second concern is that based on comments from the vendor webpage, the plugin was written by people who don't really know Subversion very well - or their information is very old.

Mike, I'm curious where you saw that ("the plugin was written by people who don't really know Subversion very well"). In my experience TortoiseSVN seems to be written by folks who know svn pretty well -- especially, fromt he user's perspective 🙂
Cheers,
