SVN for Dreamweaver

Note to self: Try SVN for Dreamweaver. Thus far I've only used homesite+ 5.5 and I just got into eclipse, cfeclipse, and subeclipse. Each and all of them have pros and cons. Eclipse in this date still does not support RDS or remote FTP browsing. It doesn't have a built-in database explored, but it does have some nice features such as compare lo local history... I think that's great!
Homesite does not have subversion integration... I tried CVS, RCS-CS and didn't quite like it.
I have been never a huge fan of dreamweaver... it has too much designer-like interface that sacrifices too much.
Now Macromedia announced they’ll join the cfeclipse force and maybe something good will come out of that. Cfeclipse is still improving the cfmx7 tag support.

I found this link today for a SVN integration into dreamweaver… Dreamweaver has issues modifying files directly into the servers… it is the slowest connection I have every experienced… Oh yeah, not to mention that it constantly crashes … Anyway, I will give it another chance … I’ll give it a try tomorrow and post further notes.

Maybe DW will be the solution … RDS, remote FTP browsing, database connectivity, version control… We shall see.

did you try out the grafX dreamweaver-SVN plugin? Any problems with it?

# Posted By ian | 8/28/06 12:44 AM

yes, I did a long time ago ... I particularly didn't love it because all it does it invoking a command line utility .. I rather just use TortoiseSVN.
However, I develop solely in Eclipse now :)

There is also a comparable open source extension available now at http://sourceforge.net/projects/subweaver/

Hey,

I tried the Subweaver plugin for Dreamweaver (CS3 version) but it does not show the icons.
I even tried the SVN4DW plugin, but same problem here.

How can I enable the icon view in the DW file explorer pane ?

Matt, thanks for the link... I don't really use DW, but I will try this plugin out when I have a chance...
George, which plugin did you like best? lol, if they worked seamlessly, which one would be the best option?

Don't you use tortoise when working with svn?

@Phil, I do ... this post is mostly just informative

grafx svn extension for dreamweaver does not support ssh :(
BUT there is another extension SVN4DW that can be downloaded here with tutorial included. http://ezcto.com/2008/05/dreamweaver-svn-ssh/ it works great for me with dreamweaver CS3.

George,

So far as i know, there is no way exposed to add the icon overlays in Dreamweaver. I have tried both the other free extension as well as a paid one, and neither support it either. If anyone knows how, i'm open to suggestions.
