resting Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 As above? Its kinda irritating when the designer keeps changes things. I think a comparison between folders and files will help a lot. Any free ones out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 With more than one person working on a project you should really be looking at version control. Subversion or Git are both good options (though very different) IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resting Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 i am using subversion. but the web designer isn't. basically he just send me the layout he did and i'll do all the merging and stuffs with the backend. whenever he changes the layout, i'll have to figure out what he changed. a folder comparison will show what files he changed. and a file merger will make my job of merging them a lot easier.

trq Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 i am using subversion. but the web designer isn't. Why? Anyway's, svn has a diff command. Just add all the designers work into your working copy and type svn diff, this will show you all changes within your working copy (including the design work you just dumped there).

resting Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 oh erm..i'm just using svn to help me sync between my laptop and pc using a thumbdrive. i never looked into how to setup a svn server for multi users to use. and the designer does not even know how to use svn so ya...

trq Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 There is plenty of gui based svn clients that make svn a snap to use even for someone as simple minded as a designer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
