Is there a way to change the polling interval? I have 10+ repositories that I’m monitoring, and the memory and cpu footprint is killing my machine.

I’m using the latest version of SVN via MacPorts.
“/opt/local/bin” is in my bash path, but apparently not in the Widget’s path, so it can’t get information about my repos, because Apple’s svn is too old.
I hardcoded SVN_BINARY=’/opt/local/bin/svn’ in “SVN Notifier.js”, and it works.

Is there a version of this that runs with Growl for Windows? I’d like to run this on a PC. Thanks!

Double clicked on the SVN Notifier Widget and got the “The application Dock quit unexpectedly…EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)…” popup dialog.

Hmmm… a little web front end that calls svn in the background and parses some XML output and sends Growl notifications via AppleScript… and therefor it needs constantly 10 threads running, up to 26 threads when it actually runs SVN and 20 MB of private memory (29 MB real memory). So this tiny application needs more memory and threads than iCal, more than all my other Dashboard widgets together.
Yes, it’s lovely, yes it’s working like a charm, but don’t expect me to applaud.

If you fire up Terminal and run an svn command on your working copy, it will ask you to authenticate and save your authentication. You should be all set after that.
Hope this helps,
Chris

How can I enter the user name and password for my svn repository?
Thank you.

Kostia -
Things are a bit busy with us right now, but hopefully we can get around to updating the widget to work with svn 1.5.0. There are a few other issues we’d like to fix, too.
Make sure to check back periodically to see if we’ve updated, or grab our RSS feed.
Thanks for the interest,
Chris

First of all thanks for this widget. I consider it to be one of the most helpful widgets for the Dashboard.
But sadly it stopped working when I updated to SCPlugin with svn 1.5.0
Are you going to fix it?

Thanks for your fast reply, Chris. Yes, I found this. Works nicely for me.
