I had two folders perfectly in sync, and now I've gone and deleted some things in one place, changed things in other places, and added things in still other places. Worse, I've altered the same file, but in different ways in different folders.
Ay yi yi. If I were going to sort this out manually, it would take some time, even with the small number of files I'm using in this example.
Worse, it would be tedious, and there is nothing worse than a tedious task. Unison to the rescue! Open Unison, and notice that Poetry is listed as a profile. Select it and then click on OK to start comparing the two roots. Comparing two changed roots with Unison. Unison does a great job indicating the changes that I've made to these two roots. As I look over Unison, I can now start to make some decisions about what I want to do to keep my files synchronized. Let's start with the easy ones.
I also want to copy the changes I've made to the two Milton sonnets from poetryA to poetryB. But what about Hopkins? I accidentally deleted it in poetryB, so I don't want to replicate that change in poetryA; in fact, I want to restore Hopkins back in poetryB if I did want to delete the Hopkins folder in poetryA, I would do nothing, and Unison would remove it there as well, as the previous screenshot makes clear.
To reverse Unison's direction, so that changes go from poetryA to poetryB instead of the other way around, I click once in the Hopkins line, and then choose the Actions menu, which gives me several choices. The Actions menu in Unison. In this case, I want to choose Propagate this path left to right , since I want the Hopkins folder to be copied from poetryA to poetryB.
The other options in this menu are pretty self-explanatory. Just be careful and think about the choices you make, as you can do some major damage if you're not on your toes.
After deciding to Propagate this path left to right , Unison changes the color of the arrow from green, which indicates Unison's recommended course of action, to blue, which indicates a change made by the user that overrides Unison's recommendation—a small but helpful user interface widget. I have one last choice to make, and this is the most difficult of all.
I made changes to Her Studies in both poetryA and poetryB, which has caused confusion in Unison, indicated by the red question mark. Unison just doesn't know what to do, so it can't make a recommendation.
Back to the Actions menu. This time, the bottom two choices are not grayed out, as they were previously. I can either Show diffs or Merge. Let's start by asking Unison to Show diffs or press the D key , which invokes the command line program diff and displays the results. Show diffs only works with text files. It won't work with binary files, including images and OpenOffice. Unison shows the differences between two files. The —- separates the two differing hunks of text.
However, even though we're using diff to display the differences between these two files, we're not going to use diff to actually merge the two files, so we really don't need to worry about this first line at all. Once we've looked over the differences between the two files, press Dismiss to close the window. Now it's time to somehow combine the differences between the two copies of "Her Studies.
In order to explain how to solve this issue, I need to explain how Unison works. Remember that we created a Unison profile named Poetry that we've been using. The information about that profile—the roots we're using, any exceptions we want Unison to observe, and any particular preferences that we wish to set—are contained in a text file located in the.
We need to set a preference in our Unison profile that tells Unison what program we want to use for merging two text files that have differences in content. To do this, simply add a new line to "poetry. For this line to work, you'll need Kompare installed on your system. If you're using KDE 3, you probably already have it. If you don't, it's pretty easy to get it. For Debian, a simple apt-get install kompare should work. For other distros, try apt-get install kdesdk-kompare.
Save poetry. Select the Poetry profile and press OK. Kompare should open up, with the copy of Her Studies from poetryA on the left and the copy from poetryB on the right. Comparing the differences between two files with Kompare. Kompare is really a neat tool if you want to see the differences between two files. As you can see from the screenshot, Kompare has noticed that lines in one file don't match line 1 in the other file, but everything else is the same.
To fix things, we have to decide which change we want to accept—in other words, which file is the correct one—which will then overwrite the problematic line s in the other file. If you go to the Difference menu, you'll notice that you can choose Apply Difference , but that will apply changes in only one direction: from left to right. This is not what I want to do. I want the line on the right, in the poetryB folder, to overwrite the lines in the poetryA folder.
To do this, I first need to switch the order in which Kompare is displaying the files by going to the File menu and choosing Swap Source with Destination , which switches the display of the two files in Kompare but not the actual files themselves—each copy of Her Studies is still in the same folder as before; it's just the way they're shown in Kompare that's changed. Now I can go back to the Difference menu and choose Apply Difference , so that both files now say "Four: Her studies" at the top.
If you don't want to use the menus, you can use the buttons on the toolbar, but only to Apply Difference. To change the order in which Kompare shows the files, you have to use the menu. Once you've saved your changes, close Kompare so that you're back at Unison. And now we see what I would classify as a mild annoyance.
This may somehow be fixed in the future, but right now I get an error message from Unison, telling me that "Merge failed: Merge program did not create an output file," and giving me a Continue button to press.
Unison expects that the program you use to merge your changes will leave an output file behind, since it otherwise has no way of knowing what we did in Kompare—after all, they're two completely separate programs. We simply passed the files that we told Unison that we wanted to merge to another application—Kompare—and then used that application to actually merge the files before going back to the original program—Unison.
However, the fact is that we just unified the two files ourselves in Kompare. You're telling Unison to ignore this file during this go-round, which is just fine. If the file changes in the future in either folder, Unison will see that and let us know. Do not go to the Ignore menu and make a choice there, or Unison will forever ignore that file, now and into the future, forever.
Notice that word "Permanently" in all the options? You can change it, however, by editing the prf file for this profile, so don't despair. We're all set to go. Everything is the way we want it, so press the Go button at the bottom of Unison's window. In just a few seconds, Unison copies over all our changes, and green checkmarks appear in the Status column to let us know that successful alterations have been made. Their site will look exactly like your theme demo page, and they can just start to modify and adapt the existing content.
Before creating a Content Backup for Demo Install use a plugin to remove post revisions. The next step is to let your users view and select which demo content to install. The demo content archives can be placed in theme or can be downloaded from a remote server. The demo s should be listed on that page. Upload the zip on your server in any directory you want, for e.
