Hi Mike.

>ProjectExplorer looks pretty good. I'm stuck in a transition phase from an inherited VFP6 to 9. We have to stay in 6 for now. I'd like to get rid of VSS though. FoxBin2Prg does not seem to work with VFP6 menus. I made SccTextX work with them. How would I go about getting ProjectExplorer to use SccTextX?

ProjectExplorerSettings.xml lists the text converter class used. It currently contains:

textconverter name="FoxBin2PRG" class="BinaryToTextConversionFoxBin2PRG" library="ProjectExplorerEngine.vcx" path="{execscript(_screen.cThorDispatcher, 'Thor_Proc_GetFoxBin2PrgFolder')}"

Change that to specify a new class you'll create to support SCCTextX. The "path" element is the path to SCCTextX.prg. The class will be a subclass of BinaryToTextConversion in ProjectExplorerEngine.vcx. Take a look at BinaryToTextConversionFoxBin2PRG as an example.

>Hg seems to know instantly that a file was changed in VFP6. Are you planning to have it sync in realtime with the OS? Is that something I can do for the project?

Project Explorer handles that automatically: when you edit a class, menu, report, etc., as soon as you close the editor, Project Explorer uses the specified text converter class to generate the text equivalent of the binary file.
