SCPlugin and Spotlight

A mystery was solved today! The current build of SCPlugin (v.269) causes the search field of the System Preferences application to not work under Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Specifically, the preference pane for SCPlugin, not the actual extension.

SCPlugin add a contextual menu to Finder for Subversion. It also is able to “badge” files in the Finder to show their subversion status. It is a nice tool, but hardly required. In any case, if you want your searches to work again, just remove the preference pane for it from /Library/PreferencePanes. SCPlugin will still work, but you won’t be able to change the location of the subversion binary or disable the plugin easily without restoring the preference pane.

    Will Mac ever get a decent Subversion client? SCPlugin is the closest I have seen, but falls way short. It is buggy and lacks tons of needed features. Just take a look at TortoiseSVN to see what SCPlugin should be.

    Hi. I’ve been trying to get SCPlugin working on my MacBook (Tiger 10.4.7), any chance you may know of a way to get it to work? I’ve been looking all over!
