    Issue: SVN and APMS

    I've started using SVN to keep my existing projects safe. However,
    now when I build a project, all the hidden .svn folders and it's contents
    are being copied as dat files, which a BIG problem.

    How to avoid this? Can APMS ignore hidden folders when building applications?

    Please advise.

    Also, "Optimize Resource" option should ignore .svn entries!

    Simply put files you wont to be renamed in the Doc folder or add your own folder.

    I can not do that because .svn folders are automatically created in every project's subfolder once you commit your project into Subversion repository. You do not modify them manually, that is the reason the folders are hidden in the first place. They are used to track changes across project and merge files when necessary (when several developers work on the same project). Somehow, I'm preety sure IndigoRose uses SVN internally to develop APMS itself.

    Since SVN is de-facto standard for version/source control under Windows (just like git is under Linux), it is essential that AutoPlay Media Studio is made aware of it. Is there an option for this?

    AutoPlay Media Studio 8 has the option to ignore files and folders when building.
    One more reason to upgrade.

    I've never liked those .svn folders. Fortunately when I moved to git it only has the .git folder in the root.

    Smooth.

    I see that there is a TortoiseGIT project here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/

    I might evaluate that!

    Works like a charm.

    Good news, everyone!

    TortoiseSVN 1.7 now uses the same approach GIT uses, with the regards to the local database storage: it now uses only one .snv subfolder in the root folder of the repository (it can and upgrade existing repositories and remove all .svn folders except the one in the root folder)!

    More info:
    http://tortoisesvn.net/tsvn_1.7_rele....html#wcformat

    Mind the database they settled on!
