Hi all! Just wanted to let you know that I've spent the last few days fiddling with a little freeware tool called Wink which lets you record screen activity, comment it and then output it as a Flash movie. In reply to the repeated queries for hands-on Getting Started information here I chose to create a little tutorial style demo of installing and configuring CVSNT and WinCvs for single-machine use (i.e. running a local CVSNT server and accessing it via :sspi:) as well as showing some basic operations. (The focus is clearly on the WinCvs side of things but I thought some of the CVSNT newbs might be interested as well.) The Flash runs about 15 minutes and is rather raw and unpolished but I still think it should serve to get neophytes going. Currently the file is almost 3MB big. If anyone has some ideas on how to get the size down a bit more, let me know. The clip is currently available from the Sourceforge file area as a zipped download: http://tinyurl.com/5jjcu or https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10072&package_id=14571&release_id=302146 Just unzip all and open the contained wincvsnt-tour.html file in your browser (operational Flash plugin obviously required). If enough people find this useful I will try to clobber together a few more smaller clips on other routine tasks such as add, remove, branches and merging, macro usage, SSH access to SF.net, whatever, etc. Just tell me what you'd like to see. Here's what's in it: 1. Installation and basic configuration of: 1.1 CVSNT 2.0.58d 1.2 Python 2.4 1.3 WinMerge 2.2.0 1.4 WinCvs 1.3.21-2 2. CVSNT: 2.1 Creating a new repository 3. WinCvs usage: 3.1 Customizing window layout 3.2 Browse Locations 3.3 Preferences 3.4 Import 3.5 CVSROOT wizard 3.6 Global .cvsignore 3.7 Shell Edit 3.8 Committable filter, Flat View 3.9 Commit 3.10 External Diff 3.11 Graph View 3.12 Checkout 3.13 Explore Selection 3.14 Module Browser Cheers, -- Oliver ------ In everybody's best interest, please do not post or CC technical questions to me in private unless they are specifically about a macro/product of mine that is NOT already bundled with WinCvs. I will generally forward my replies to such posts to the CVSGUI list without further notice. ---- ------------------ JID: ogiesen at jabber.org ICQ: 18777742 (http://wwp.icq.com/18777742)
