As part of an effor to better organize my site and all of the various source files I have floating around, I’ve begun to reorganize my site folders, and get everything put into Dreamweaver sites to help me manage it all.
I’ve also been using Subversion to manage all of my source files. The only problem was this: When I imported my site into SVN, it did it’s usual thing of creating a .svn folder for every folder. No biggie, however, while these are normally hidden in the Finder, they show up in Dreamweaver in the Files Panel, and when I tried to Synchronize my site, DW told me that I needed to upload nearly 3000 files.
I tried setting some cloaking options in the Site Manager, but no luck there. So I set about the task of manually cloaking each .svn folder. I did about five of them before I got tired of it, and decided to find an extension in the Macromedia Exchange. There I found an extension by “guppywon” that handles this for you. It installs two options into your Commands menu: “Cloak SCM Directories” and of course “Uncloak SCM Directories”.
These commands will run through your site and Cloak or Uncloak the SCM directories created by both SVN and CVS, and then let you know how many directories were affected. That’s about it, and doesn’t sound like much, but if you’ve had to deal with this issue, you’ll definately appreciate the time saved.
