Does Tortoise support MS Visio file format?

[Colin Lee]

I have a user that has been storing Visio files, but is unable to open previous versions? TBH I don't know anything about Tortoise, so some advice would be useful. Could you advise if  Visio .vsd files are supported, as the previous version seems to be achieved I guess there is some support, but when the user tries to open an earlier version they get an error message from TortoiseMerge "The file C:\Users\xxxxx(path & name).vsd.svn000.tmp.vsd is not a valid text file!"

Reading the error message where it says it is looking for text-only files makes me think Visio isn't supported.

It is worth noting the user also use word docs and has no issue with these, only Visio files.

Has anyone else experienced this?

If anyone could confirm the compatibility with .vsd, that would be useful.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Colin!

 

Tortoise SVN cannot merge nor diff Visio files (AFAIK).

 

It can archive them just fine.

 

So you can retrieve older versions.

 

I have no idea why in your use case TortoiseMerge is involved.

 

But TSVN (by itself) cannot tell the differences for binary files.

It can diff word documents using a customizable interface for custom diff tools (in this case by calling word).

If you have a diff tool for visio, you can integrate it.
