Windows support

[Miodrag Milić]

What is the status for windows support?

I use all major OS types and having non-x-platform tagger is show stopper for me. I see that v0.5 mentions windows binary without virtual file system. Is there any technical reason this is not supported since symbolic links are available on Windows for a long time and do work across hard disks and even remote shares.

Thanks.

Windows support is a bit flaky at the moment. It's one of the 'big' items if like to look at next.

It's not just a case of creating symbolic links: I'd need to research and hook in a virtual filesystem library, make the tests work across platforms and deal with the different types of paths.

The main reason I've not done it yet is that my portable laptop runs Linux. I have a Windows PC at home but I do most of my development on my train journeys. I've also been busy at work on the fun up to Christmas so I've not spent much time on TMSU at all.

I'll try to budget some time for this work as I think it'd be hugely popular once it's done.

Can't u use Virtual Box / vagrant on your linux ? That way you can use trial version indefinitely without problems (if licence is the problem).

If lap top is not powerful enough I guess dual boot would be an option.

No, my laptop is a Acer Aspire One netbook from 2008. It can barely run Linux!

I should really but myself a new laptop but I kinda like this crappy old thing :)
