Comment on MacHg 1.0.0 Beta Released!! by Floky

Floky — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:39:18 +0000

Great news Jason! I’m a big fan of your Mercurial GUi Client! I think it really has the potential to be one of the best free solutions on the Mac OS platform. I’ve donated a humble amount to support this software and I’ve also posted about it on this forum: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/111220-How-did-Shadowgun-reduced-APK-to-6-MB?p=857070&viewfull=1#post857070

As you I am also developing a free software solution and I know the amount of work and time that goes into something like this. I will further spread the word about this very nice piece of software and I will also return with another donation.

Keep up the awesome work my friend! You’re not alone!

Comment on BanChangesets Mercurial Extension Released! by Johan

Maybe you should add your extension to the appropriate part of page ‘http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions‘ too ?

Comment on Where is NSBrowserSelectionDidChangeNotification when you need it? by Jason

Jason — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:09:08 +0000

Well it turns out that in 10.6 there is a delegate method:

(NSIndexSet)browser:(NSBrowser)browser selectionIndexesForProposedSelection:(NSIndexSet*)proposedSelectionIndexes inColumn:(NSInteger)column

Which you can implement in your delegate. This isn't quite what is needed since it fires before the selection is actually changed, but using a performSelector:withObject:afterDelay: with a suitable small delay you might be able to fake the missing NSBrowserSelectionDidChangeNotification. At least I used this in MacHg... to get around the absence of this notification.

Dear Jason, I have downloaded your MacHg app. By the way you have made a great job. You have developed a nice ui and a good working functionality.

Thanx, Christoph

Uhhh… Well it is still working for me and still working in FIleMerge 2.5 (build 1633.0). In fact I just found out about /usr/bin/textutil which can be used to convert doc, docx, and some other formats to text. I’ll post another blog update shortly about this.

[...] this on the Mac, I use a nifty client called MacHg. However, whilst this now has support for a good selection of external diffing and merging tools, my particular favourite Beyond Compare (BC) isn’t supported [...]

Comment on Make FileMerge diff .plist files by Luke

This doesn’t work for me in Filemerge 2.5. I select the files to diff, hit compare, the dialog closes but the diff screen never appears.

Comment on MacHg 0.9.22 Released! by geeklawyer

Lovely little program. Am just starting to play with Mercurial (put off versioning systems years ago by cvs) and machg was recommended by a friend as a non scary pointy clicky interface. It's all still scary even with machg (tips are for waiters in my book).

You really should sell this in the App Store I would definitely have paid a tenner for this: look at what's in there now...
