== Introduction sentence change == | == Introduction sentence change == | ||
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 "Here are third party applications developed for Dwarf Fortress." to "Here are third party applications useful for Dwarf Fortress." though, I'm not particularly happy with the wording. Hopefully this edit is ok?[[User:Vattic|Vattic]] 03:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC) | 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.

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) | Tried Dwarf Therapist in Wine (1.1.43) under Linux (Debian 5.0).

: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 "diff" 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) | :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 "diff" utility, no less).

: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.
