TortoiseSVN with TortoiseHg

[R Seeker]

Can you use both TortoiseSVN and TortoiseHg on the same system? Do they play well together (assuming you don't try to use both of them for the same project)?

Thanks.

Yes you can. They are independent apps but recent versions use a
common overlay handler called TortoiseOverlays which avoids the
limitation with the number of overlays that windows can handle.

Thanks for the quick answer.

How recent should they be to use the common overlay handler? I have TortoiseSVN 1.6.8, Build 19260 - 64 Bit and tortoisehg-1.0.4-hg-1.5.4-x64.msi (not installed yet).

If I can use what I have that would be best for me (I'm bandwidth-constrained) but I'll upgrade if I have to.

Those should be fine.

This is my first post, so first of all I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the TortoiseSVN developers. Thank you!

I have TortoiseHg 2.1.4 and TortoiseSVN 1.7.1 both installed on windows XP SP3, and they are both working functionally, but there is a problem with the explorer shell sub context menu icons.

If I only install TortoiseHg the context menu icons for TortoiseHg display correctly.

If I install both, in any order, then the top level of context menu icons for TortoiseHg are shifted to the left so that they are barely visible. The context menu icons for TortoiseSVN display correctly.

I have posted this on the bitbucket page for TortoiseHg:
https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/1364/context-menus-icons-do-not-display

I saw this once in a previous version of TortoiseSVN, and found this related post here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4061&dsMessageId=48593

Evidently there was also a similar conflict between TortoiseGit and TortoiseSVN reported here:
http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/issues/detail?id=916

I tried to change the ContextMenuVersion value from 2 to 1 in HKCU/Software/TortoiseHg but that caused my computer to hang on start-up after login and the initial windows xp start-up screen, and so I reverted. Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing, I just read something similar in another post.

In all other ways both seem to be operated fine, it's just the TortoiseHg context menu icons that are affected.

Thanks again,
Mark

It's a bug in THg, but I thought it was already fixed?
Maybe it's only fixed in the beta? Not sure though...

The problem is that THg doesn't do the context menu icons correctly on
Win7, so Windows reverts back to the old format (try it yourself: make a
screenshot of the context menu without THg menus at all, then one with
those menus and compare the screenshots).

Thanks for your quick reply!

Is the bug also for XP SP3? I am running XP SP3, not Win7, so I don't think your response applies to me. The context menus look the same with and without THG.

I figured out how to hide the THG context menus for non Hg folders, that helps since I mostly use TSVN.

I didn't actually think it was a TSVN bug, but since THG is fine by itself, and it's only after installing TSVN that the context menu icons get pushed off the page, I thought I should alert you. I also have posted on the THG bitbucket issue page, but I haven't heard anything from them. Perhaps you could use your influence?

Thanks again! Everyday I am learning something new about TSVN that makes me appreciate it more.

p.s. I am also currently working on a plug-in for a web-hosted issue tracker. I will screen it with you before it goes live.

- Mark
