Windows 7: SVN-Columns in Working Copy in Windows Explorer
Paul Maier
is there a way in Windows 7 to add columns like Revision number, URL, "locked by"
in the Windows explorer?
Such was available in Windows XP. I recently changed to Windows 7 and found that
those columns are not shown in the context menu when clicking on the column headers in the
Windows Explorer in the Working Copy directory.
Reporting this for TortoiseSVN 1.6.16 (SVN 1.6.17).
Thanks!
Paul

Sorry, but Vista and Windows 7 does not support custom columns any
more, so there's nothing we can do about this :-(

As stated in http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-wcstatus.html#tsvn-dug-wcstatus-columns :
“The additional columns in the Windows Explorer are not available on Vista, since Microsoft decided to not allow such columns for all files anymore but only for specific file types.”
Perhaps you could enable it for folders that are an idntified file type very common and usefull.
