Hi,

Is there any possibility to use OpenKM with a tool like TortoiseSVN?
I want to use OpenKM for version the code of a framework and I want to updated the files directly from local drive with adding a comment also for the new version of all updated files.

What do you suggest to do this?

Thanks,
Mihai

I don't suggest using OpenKM for a developement code repository, it's not a good idea. For it purpose SVN is a great candidate with some enhancement oriented to it purpose, that's not the OpenKM purpose.

In other hand you could use OpenKM as a repository code browser, but not for developing only for quering purpose. It could be a way to implement with this utility without major problems. For example

If you've got two project Project 1, Project 2
1- You could connect openkm as a network resource via webdav
2- Programate a user to each week for example starging up a checkout code from repository to this network resource ( it's really openkm conected as a network ) and then make some snapshot to this code there
3- Project 1 checkout into S:/code/project1
4- Project 2 checkout into S:/code/project2

It could be some simple script for doing it. In this scenario OpenKM it could be used with this purpose.

Tell us how it help you, and if you do we'd like to know your feeling about it, because it seems and interesting application, and could appears some needs or ideas ( for example it could be interesting tagging some code ... java code, database code, etc... but when and how ... etc... )
