If no, don't bother about tweaking the reported size.
Ok, the situation is the following. The left widow of my TC file manager is feed by my plugin with the contents of a folder coming from SVN. The right window points to a location on the harddisk - maybe the working copy, but maybe not. Now I choose the fuction to compare/synchronize these "folders". On the synchronize pane I want so see the files correctly marked as new, identical or different. And in the plugin I have no access to the file list on the other side. Now three situations can happen based on the settings: * Standard compare: does not work, date and time is generally different * Ignore date/time: problem caused by incorrect size (comparing just file sizes) * Compare by contend: not supported for plugins :-(. So there is not any way to compare the content of a SVN repo with a folder on disk that is not a working copy - it is not even possible as plugin to get any info about the other side file/folder list. Yes, I show the contents of a file on demand, using a temporary file. I hope I do it correctly. I do the following: - apr_open_file - svn_stream_from_aprfile2 - svn_client_cat2 - svn_stream_close I hope the file I created this way is identically to the file of a SVN working copy. Do you now, are they? Thank you, Volker
