Work for one day on another laptop

Classic Servoy
1

I’m going somewhere where theft may be a concern, and I want to take an older laptop.

What is the easiest way to move an ongoing project to another laptop, and then move it back again in the evening? This is 6.0.6 (6.0.5 on the older machine).

Thanks,
Don

Why not by SVN teamsupport?

Hi Thomas,

I don’t have that set up and, even after having read the instructions some weeks ago, I’m finding that the concept is still a thick, swirling fog bank in my mind.

I’m going to be either in my car or on a pool deck. Isn’t there some way to simply drag over the appropriate files/folders from one machine to the next?

Thanks,
Don

Then copy your entire Servoy folder and your workspace folder to the new (expendible) laptop and if you are lucky enough to bring it home copy your workspace folder back to your work laptop. :)

… or spend 1 hour to read this (http://wiki.servoy.com/display/public/DOCS/SVN+Team+Provider) and setup SVN so thieves at least can’t steal your work… ;)

Hi Thomas and Nicola,

I was able to drag the workspace folder over and everything worked well. Today, I found just the files on the older laptop that I changed, and copied them back to the original workspace folder. It seems to be working.

I will look at the SVN documentation again…but wouldn’t I need an internet-based storage site?

Thanks,
Don

Of course you need a svn server machine. This can be a local server at your internal network or a hosted server outside and you can configure it to your best need.
If you are working on your Laptop without a Internet connection and make changes on your Servoy solution, you can commit the changes to your svn server when you back at home/office and have a network connection again before you start working on your desktop machine with updating your Servoy solution.
