I am using PFrank v2.33 and I want to rename a few hundred files under subversion control. As a test, I used TortoiseSVN to create a file-based repository and then tried to rename a bunch of the commited files using PFrank. I have enabled SVN mode and disabled auto-commit, but I get the message "(ERROR - NotUnderVersionControl.0001) Filename is not under version control" when I click on "Scan" and view the "Detailed Information". I am absolutely certain the file is under version control because I can commit+update using TortoiseSVN and the usual ".svn" folder is in each of the sub-folders. Does PFrank only work with certain kinds of subversion repositories or do I need to install some special version of subversion besides TortoiseSVN?

Also, I found PFrank 2.33 SVN in tucows, but it is XP only. Is there a version of PFrank 2.33 for Windows 7 that also handles subversion?

Hi,

PFrank uses a client call from an embedded python/svn library to obtain the SVN information of any file up for renaming. If the call fails then you see the NotUnderVersionControl error.

I haven't updated that library in years so it the problem might be that it is out of date with the latest version of TortoiseSVN. When I last updated the library it was tested with TortoiseSVN repositories and XP.

I phased out the SVN feature from the main releases because the SVN library was pretty large and I didn't want to bloat the size of PFrank any more than necessary. I've continued to make a special release for Tucows that has the SVN renaming feature in case people were using it but I've never updated the library.

Unfortunately if the SVN feature is no longer working, then I can't help you as I don't support SVN anymore. I'll have to stop creating the tucows releases.

Sorry,

Peter.

I thought maybe the problem is something on my end and not PFrank. Is there some kind of log/debug switch that I could set to get more information?

There is a log file in the Application Data folder. It is called: PFrank.log

The path should be something like:

C:\Documents and Settings\<yourname>\Application Data\PFrank

There might be something in there. You can send it to me if you like.

I checked the log but it is no help. Example:
ERROR - NOT AN SVN FILE(7): Filename:
'C:\src\Root\trunk\Setup\ServerSetup\ServerSetup.sln'
is not under version control

Pretty much just a whole bunch of the same messages. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Thank you for your time!
