![]() ![]() ![]() The Lite version also had an influence, but was not the main reason to change anything. However, if experience shows that some of the currently disabled features are considered to be a must-have for single users and small teams then I will definitely consider to add them to the Lite version.Īs for the price change: the new price was decided based on the new features added in the latest update and after comparing Svn Tools to other products currently available. These seemed to be the most useful because other features, like locking files, are less needed for single users (no need to lock a file if you are the only user modifying it). Therefore the main features such as direct SVN access in the project window, icon overlay and checking the repository for changes were selected for single users. The Lite version is aimed at single users and/or very small teams while the full version is aimed at the needs of larger teams. I will try to explain the reason why these features where chosen and not the locking of files (and other features): Hi Ben, you definitely are making a good point. The problem with this is I don't think the lite version covers a big enough subset of customers who would have bought the original product(before the price change), so the people who needed the original version before now have to pay more for no reason. Now, this product is free, so I can't complain about any of that, but what bothers me is you seemed to have raised the price of the full version because of the release of the lite version. This is my opinion, so others might disagree. Everything else such as, checking for repository updates, and the asset overlays, I can live without(and did in Unreal 4). Personally, I do find the bare essentials for a product like this to have use over Tortoise SVN to be the feature that asks the user to lock a file before modification. If you think that some more features are necessary for this Lite version then feel free to write a post on the forum thread (or send an email) and I will see what I can do for you. If you need more features for working in a team (like automatic locking) then I recommend to get the full version. Besides this, you will also be notified of new changes in the repository made by other users. The main goal of the Lite version is to give you a more convenient way to interact with SVN (through the Project Window) and to show you an icon overlay to keep you better informed about the status of your files.
