<p>Youen: /* Why include WinMerge in the list and not Subversion ? */</p> <hr /> <div>== Introduction sentence change ==<br /> The 40d page includes some software such as [http://winmerge.org/ WinMerge] and [http://www.autohotkey.com/ AutoHotKey] which were not developed for DF specifically but which remain very useful. I use WinMerge when modifying raws and would not be if I hadn't discovered it on this wiki. I decided to add WinMerge and change the introduction text from &quot;Here are third party applications developed for Dwarf Fortress.&quot; to &quot;Here are third party applications useful for Dwarf Fortress.&quot; though, I'm not particularly happy with the wording. Hopefully this edit is ok?[[User:Vattic|Vattic]] 03:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> Updated Dwarf Therapist section - hairypanis<br /> <br /> == Dwarf Therapist ==<br /> <br /> Tried Dwarf Therapist in Wine (1.1.43) under Linux (Debian 5.0). It told me I needed to be running DF at the same time. OK. Launched DF and then launched Therapist. It locked up my X display completely. I had to ssh in from another machine and reboot. After the reboot, tried again, and it locked up the X display except for the mouse pointer, which was still alive and moving (but stuck in arrow shape, and clicking did nothing). Couldn't switch to a text console, and couldn't kill X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. I was able to ssh in and kill all wine processes, and this time at least I had the text console, so I didn't have to reboot. Giving up now. Guess I'll continue managing dwarves by hand. --[[User:Greycat|Greycat]] 02:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Why include WinMerge in the list and not Subversion ? ==<br /> <br /> As subversion can do as much as WinMerge (with TortoiseSVN), and is really better for developpers than WinMerge alone (though more complicated, since it requires to install a server somewhere, for example on the developper machine itself). WinMerge can be integrated with TortoiseSVN (so that it is used instead of Tortoise merge tool). Now I'm used to Subversion, I just can't imagine developing anything without it... However, I'm not sure it's a good idea to begin to list here all softwares that can be used to work with (text) files. --[[User:Youen|Youen]] 17:47, 6 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Because WinMerge is a utility designed solely for file comparison/merging, while Subversion is a revision control system which happens to include file comparison/merging support (using the standard &quot;diff&quot; utility, no less). It would be akin to somebody asking for a spellchecker and recommending that they use Microsoft Word. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:52, 6 May 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Well, I ''would'' recommend Word (or equivalent) to a Windows user, because if he does not already have it, it would be worth installing and discover it anyway. But more seriously, I agree with the fact that Subversion is clearly not essential to play this game, or even modify it. [[User:Youen|Youen]] 21:03, 6 May 2010 (UTC)</div>
