Problem set DiffMerge Tool character encodings.

momomliu · Post by **momomliu** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 9:05 pm

I use Traditional Chinese language files.
But I can't set cp950 or big5 character encodings in the DiffMerge Tool.
I find this <a href="http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... ight=cp932" title="Shift-JIS (Japanese) support">post</a>, so I need cp950.SO or big5.SO.
where can I find it? thanks a lot!

ps. SourceGear Vault Client version is 3.1.8 (3771)

See if this one works. Note: we haven't tested Diff/Merge with Chinese and the merge tool only handles left-to-right text.

The cp950.so doesn't work in DiffMerge Tool, Error Message:
This is a problem with your character encoding settings.
Could not load character encoding module 'cp950'.

Try this one, which was compiled with our set of sources, and may work better.

Unfortunately, our DiffMerge tool wasn't designed to support Chinese characters, and we haven't tested it with other kinds of .so files other than the ones we ship with.

If this doesn't work out, I would suggest obtaining a 3rd party diff/merge app that does support your character set, and using it with Vault instead. You can change the diff tool in Tools->Options->Diff/Merge, and Vault will simply invoke the other tool instead of its own.

It works. Thx a lot!

BTW, can put this cp950.so file in the next released version?

That's a good idea - I'll log it as a request
