Is it possible to integrate with CS4 "Version Control"?

[ryodoan]

Hello,

I am working on updating an existing Version Control integration extension to work with CS4. In versions prior to Dreamweaver CS4 this was done by implementing the "source control integration API" . This put an item in the "Remote Info" drop down for our version control system.

In CS4 there is now the built in "Version Control" option that ships with support for Subversion. We would like to upgrade our integration to use this.

We implement all of the required, and most of the optional "Source Control API" calls and appear on the Remote Info tab. Is there something that we need to change in how we implement the Source Control API in order to appear to Dreamweaver as a version control integration instead of a remote site? I have read through the Source Control API documentation, and do not see any place that it changed from CS3 to CS4.

So in summery my question is as follows:
Is it possible to integrate with the new CS4 Version Control interface?

If this is too broad of a question, please tell me and I will try to narrow it down. Thanks for any help.

I think that I kind of lost the thread of what I was trying to ask yesterday, so I would like to summarize my question in a couple lines here so people do not need to read that wall of text.

- Is it possible to integrate with the new "Version Control" that was added to Dreamweaver CS4?
- Does the new Version Control support use the same "Source Control" API's that were used to allow Check In / Check Out for remote sites?
- If I have a DLL that works by implementing the Source Control API's, how hard would it be to implement the new Version Control, if it is even possible.

Thanks, and again, sorry for the previous rambling wall of text.

I'm sorry the Version Control panel isn't extensible this release. The Source Control APIs will continue to work in the Remote Info panel.

Thanks for the reply and I hope that in the next release of Dreamweaver we will be able integrate with the Version Control Panel.

Does anyone know anything about Source Control/Version Control integration for CS5? I can't figure out how to put an item as a type of remote server or a version control option!

As your on windows I'd advise the following setup

TortoiseSVN or GIT (your choice)

This will integrate TortoiseSVN/GIT into Windows Explorer; you should install BOTH the 32bit and 64bit versions; the 64bit version is needed for windows explorer to display the menus the 32bit one is needed to use it within your 32bit applications (most of Adobe Suite is 32bit).

Issue Tracking / Project Management

If you want to start up with issue logging/project management I cant advise Redmine enough theres even a "Windows Stack" so you can install it as if you were installing MSN http://bitnami.org/stack/redmine

and this integrates then with TortoiseSVN/GIT using a plugin http://code.google.com/p/redmine-projects/
