Can I use Subversion with Labview8

[d_n]

Hi Joe,
I have used successfully meta-diff suite  with TortoiseSVN and Labview 8.2.1  with the following  settings.
You can get the latest version of metadiff form http://sourceforge.net/projects/meta-diff/
1)The path for the External program is the full path for the metadiff.exe  (Default path C:\Program Files\meta-diff suite\metadiff.exe )
2)Click the Advanced… button to bring the Advanced diff settings dialog box.  Select Add… button and in the Extension Field type .vi
3)In the External Program Field type the full path for lvdiff.exe (Default path C:\Program Files\meta-diff suite\lvdiff.exe) and accept OK all dialog boxes.
4) Open the .lvdiff file (Default path C:\Program Files\meta-diff suite\ .lvdiff ) with NotePad or any text editor and ensure the following lines are included
pathToLV=C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.2  (or your labview version).
pathToLVDiff=C:\Program Files\meta-diff suite

I was able to get this to work in Windows Vista with LabView 8.6, but only if I installed meta-diff suite in a place (e.g., My Documents) not in the Program Files tree.  If installed under Program Files, lvdiff apparently cannot create the lvdiff.ini file.

Hello JoeC,

to use TortoiseSVN for graphical compare Labview VI's you have to set the "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Shared\LabVIEW Compare\LVCompare.exe" for external diff under TortoiseSVN->settings->external programs->diff viewer->advanced

To use Labview with Subversion this link could be usefull:

Greetings Andreas.

P.S.: We use Subversion for 6 years togehter with Labview (but without any integration to any Labview menues) and it works perfectly.

Hi everybody,

I was able to set up lvdiff and launch vi comparison from TSVN.

But I still haven't heard here about automating hierarchies comparison... any idea?
