+TortoiseHg FAQ
+==============
+
+
+*What is TortoiseHg?*
+ A Windows shell extension for the Mercurial revision control system, similar to the Tortoise
+ clients for Subversion and CVS. It also includes an hgtk application for command line
+ use on many platforms.
+
+*What comes included in the TortoiseHg binary installer for Windows?*
+ `Mercurial <http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi>`_, `kdiff3 <http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/>`_,
+ `TortoisePlink <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/>`_ and and one bonus extension: hgfold.
+
+*How can I get translations for the Explorer context menu?*
+ See the `Download <http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/wiki/install>`_ wiki page
+
+*How do I do merges and arbitrary version checkouts in 0.8?*
+ Merges and updates intended to be done from within the Changelog tool (:guilabel:`View Changelog` menu option)
+ in 0.8.
+
+*How do I fix* ``failed to import extension hgext.hgconfig...`` *warnings?*
+ Upgrading to release 0.7.2 or later should fix these warnings, but there are further complications on Vista.
+ See `issue #135 <http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/135/>`_.
+
+*Why can't I connect to an ssh server (TortoisePlink.exe* ``...cannot execute specified...`` *error message)?*
+ Release 0.7.2 and later include a version of TortoisePlink that does not have extra library
+ dependencies, so upgrading will probably fix this problem. See also `ssh <http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/wiki/ssh>`_.
+
+*How can I use Qct with TortoiseHG, after version 0.7?*
+ We recommend that you try the commit tool that comes with TortoiseHg before running back to Qct, but here
+ are the instructions should you decide to stick with ole' reliable:
+
+ 1. Download and install Qct-1.7-standalone-win32.exe from http://qct.sourceforge.net
+ 2. Add (or merge) the following into your :file:`Mercurial.ini` ::
+
+ [extensions]
+ qct = C:\path\to\qct.py
+
+ [tortoisehg]
+ extcommit = qct
+
+ [qct]
+ path = "C:\Program Files\qct\qct.exe"
+
+ Now the :guilabel:`HG Commit` menu option should launch Qct, and :command:`hg qct` should work from the command
+ line and hgtk ci should also launch Qct.
+
+ In 0.9, hgtk ci will no longer launch Qct. We will drop support for any external commit tools.
+
+*How can I use hgk (hg view) with TortoiseHg?*
+ Download `tclkit <http://www.equi4.com/tclkit>`_ and place it in your TortoiseHg directory.
+ Download the `hgk <http://www.selenic.com/repo/hg/raw-file/tip/contrib/hgk>`_ script from the Mercurial
+ repository and place it in your :file:`TortoiseHg\contrib` directory. Create an :file:`hgk.cmd` file and
+ place it in :file:`TortoiseHg\\scripts`. This file should contain::
+
+ @set HG=C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\hg.exe
+ @"C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\tclkit-win32.exe" "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\contrib\hgk" %*
+
+ Then enable hgk in your :file:`Mercurial.ini` file::
+
+ [extensions]
+ hgk =
+
+ [hgk]
+ path=C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\scripts\hgk.cmd
+ vdiff=vdiff
+
+ This allows you launch :command:`hg view` from the command line.
+
+*How can I use WinMerge as my visual diff tool?*
+ Add these lines to your personal :file:`Mercurial.ini` file ::
+
+ [extdiff]
+ cmd.winmerge = C:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMerge.exe
+ opts.winmerge = /e /x /ub /wl
+
+ Now run the :guilabel:`Global Settings` tool. On the :guilabel:`TortoiseHg` tab, you should see
+ :guilabel:`winmerge` available in the drop-down list for :guilabel:`Visual Diff Command`.
+ Select :guilabel:`winmerge`, apply, then close.
+
+ This same approach can be used to add nearly any visual diff tool, but be aware that your diff tool must
+ be able to support directory diffs if it is to be used by TortoiseHg, unless you are using release 0.8 or
+ later.
+
+*How can I use Araxis Merge as my visual diff tool?*
+ Add these lines to your personal :file:`Mercurial.ini` file ::
+
+ [extdiff]
+ cmd.adiff=C:\Program Files\Araxis\Araxis Merge v6.5\compare.exe
+ opts.adiff=/wait
+
+ Now run the :guilabel:`Global Settings` tool. On the :guilabel:`TortoiseHg` tab, you should see
+ :guilabel:`adiff` available in the drop-down list for :guilabel:`Visual Diff Command`.
+ Select :guilabel:`adiff`, apply, then close.
+
+*Does TortoiseHg work on Vista?*
+ TortoiseHg 0.8 works well on x86 and x64 versions of Vista and Windows 7.
+
+*How can I get the context menus working on 64-bit Vista?*
+ Upgrade to TortoiseHg 0.8
+
+*I'm a CLI user, how do I disable the shell extensions (overlay icons and context menus)?*
+ If you have TortoiseHg 0.8 or later, you can disable overlays via the taskbar options menu.
+ The only way to disable the context menu is to rename :file:`ThgShell.dll` in your install directory
+ and then restart explorer (this completely disables the shell extension).
+
+ If you have an older TortoiseHg release, run this command with appropriate permissions:
+ :command:`regsvr32 /u "C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseHg\\tortoisehg.dll`
+ Run that command without the :command:`/u` argument to re-enable the extensions. Both operations take effect
+ after the next reboot.
+
+*How is TortoiseHg configured?*
+ TortoiseHg gets configuration settings from two systems.
+
+ 1. The Mercurial configuration system, which is three-tiered
+ 1. Site-wide :file:`Mercurial.ini` in :file:`%ProgramFiles%\\TortoiseHg`
+ 2. Per-User :file:`Mercurial.ini` in :file:`%UserProfile%`
+ 3. Per-Repository :file:`Mercurial.ini` in :file:`{repo-root}\.hg\hgrc`
+ 2. :file:`%APPDATA%\Tortoisehg` settings for application state (window positions, etc)
+
+ These are configurables that are stored the Mercurial configuration system. ::
+
+ [tortoisehg]
+ extcommit = None
+ vdiff = vdiff
+ editor = gvim
+ tabwidth = 4
+ longsummary = True
+ copyhash = False
+ graphlimit = 500
+ authorcolor = True
+ authorcolor.steve = blue
+
+ See also :doc:`settings`, and `issue #50 <http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/50/>`_.
+
+*Is it possible to change fonts?*
+ In some cases, yes. The gtools based dialogs (commit, status, shelve) allow some font configuration. ::
+
+ [gtools]
+ # font used in changeset viewer and commit log text
+ fontcomment = courier 10
+ # font used for diffs in status and commit tools
+ fontdiff = courier 10
+ # font used in file lists in status and commit tools
+ fontlist = courier 9
+
+ # make the integrated diff window appear at the bottom or side
+ # (applies to commit and status dialogs)
+ diffbottom = False
+
+*How do I switch GTK themes?*
+ In 0.7, the theme was selectable at install time. For other releases, (and after install on 0.7) you can
+ still do this manually
+
+ * cd :file:`C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseHg\\share\\themes` (>=0.8, this is :file:`gtk\\share\\themes`)
+ * look at the themes in this directory, remember their names or keep this folder open.
+ * :command:`cd ..\\..\\etc\\gtk-2.0`
+ * edit :file:`gtkrc` and change the name of the theme you wish to use
+ * Vista may try to prevent you from editing the file directly. I work around this by copying to your desktop,
+ editing it there, then copying it back (and answering all the security dialogs)
+ * Changes immediately take affect on all newly launched applications
+
+ You also should be able to download new themes and copy them into the :file:`share\\themes` directory and
+ then enable them in your :file:`gtkrc`.
+
+*After uninstalling, it left a bunch of DLL and PYD files behind.*
+ Reboot, like the uninstaller told you to :-) The uninstaller marked those files for removal at the next boot
+ since most of them could not be removed while your system was running.
+
+*How can I convert a subversion repository to Mercurial?*
+ You must install svn-win32-1.6 command line tools, then add them to your path. Then you must enable the
+ `convert <http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/ConvertExtension>`_ extension. At this point,
+ you should be able to use the :command:`hg convert` command to do the conversion. Please direct
+ problems/questions about the convert extension to the Mercurial mailing list or #mercurial on irc.freenode.net.
+
+*Where do TortoiseHg extensions look for external Python modules on Windows?*
+ TortoiseHg includes an entire Python distribution bundled up as DLLs. The standard library modules are all
+ in the :file:`library.zip` file in :file:`C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg`.
+
+ If you try to use an extension that imports a non-standard Python module, you will find that the extension
+ will fail to load because it can't find the module. For example the ReviewBoard extension imports the
+ simplejson module, which is not part of the standard Python distribution.
+
+ In order to make it work you need to add a couple of lines to the top of the extension's .py file, before
+ the line that imports the foreign module::
+
+ import sys
+ sys.path.append('C:\\path\\to\\module')
+
+ Note that this will not work for modules distributed as .egg files; the supplied path must contain the
+ module's .py or .pyc files.
+
+*How do I fix odd characters in dialog?*
+ In 0.8, we no longer distribute multiple themes and switched default theme to MS-Windows.
+ As a result, it might causes an issue related default font of MS-Windows theme in some environments.
+ In order to fix this issue, add following setting to TortoiseHg's :file:`gtkrc` file::
+
+ style "msw-default"
+ {
+ font_name = "MS UI Gothic 9"
+ }
+
+ You can find :file:`gtkrc` file in your TortoiseHg install directory:
+ i.e. :file:`C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseHg\\gtk\\etc\\gtk-2.0\\gtkrc`
