Tortoise SVN's right-drag options don't appear

Help & Support

Hi,

Tortoise has a neat feature where you click and drag with your right-mouse button. After dropping it will show a menu with options like:

  • "SVN Move versioned files here"
  • "SVN Copy versioned files here"

Unfortunately, this doesn't show when dragging with the right-mouse button in DOpus.

I have to crack-open my old "Windows Explorer" where it is working.
Is there something that needs to be programmed into DOpus, or is it possibly some setting that's blocking it?

You must have turned on Preferences - Miscellaneous - Windows Integration - Hide Windows items on file context menus (shift overrides).

You can do one of:

[ul][li]Turn it off[/li]
[li]Leave it on and hold Shift while dragging when you want to see the extra items[/li]
[li]Force just the Tortoise items to appear by editing the drag & drop menu[/li][/ul]

The 2nd option seems best to me. (I move things in SVN very infrequently so it's nice that those extra items are hidden most of the time.)

I think the 3rd option is possible but I've never tried it. If you want to do that and need help then shout.
