Konqueror as SVN client
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2008 1:34 pm
[PROBLEM]
Spoiled by tortoise SVN's explorer integration, I wanted to have something similar in KDE. Luckily, there is a plugin for konqueror - the package is called "kdesdk-kio-plugins".
It's quite nice, but it changes the right-mouse-click context menu, which sometimes interferes with making some default file-related operations.
[SOLUTION]
Here's my current solution to this inconvenience problem:
1) Create a new Konqueror viewing profile:
- Under "Settings > Configure View Profiles", enter a new name and click "save".
2) Go to a directory under SVN control.
3) Select split view: "View > Split View > Split View Left/Right"
4) Choose "SVN client" for the left side, and "detailed list view" for the right side.
5) Link the 2 views by clicking into the empty rectangle in the lower right corner. A small chain icon should appear. Now the left and right view will always display the same folder.
6) Save your profile: "Settings > Save View Profile 'xxx'"
