Bazaar Explorer

Tools configuration on Windows - explorer 0.8.2

Asked by David Roberts

Regarding tools.xml config file under Windows.

Is a tool of type 'application' supported under Windows at v0.8.2 of Explorer? If so, what is the syntax of the corresponding tag?

I've tried <tool action="shoes" title="Shoes" type="application" /> but that generates a run-time error when I invoke it. "The system cannot find the file specified." (The executable is on my path, and runs OK from the Windows CLI.) I've also tried specing the full path to the executable but I think that is fraught because the path contains a 'space' char in "Program Files".

Thanks - DJ

You're on the right track, you need the full path but the syntax is slightly odd. The space in program files is ok because the path is in quotes but you need to replace back slashes with slashes like when doing bzr alias commands. e.g.

 <tool action="C:/Program Files/Tools/WinMerge/WinMergeU.exe" title="WinMerge" type="application" />
