Yes, that's basic source control usage. Go inside the folder you want to update, right-click, get latest. It won't get any files in any other folders. If you want to get ev erything updated for the whole project, then you go to the root folder instead.
Alright thanks! About the SVN use, I mean: I have a X folder at home, I want to use data from this folder at work but not all of it, is there a way to download only x or y folder on the other computer, work on some stuff, and commit it so it's also updated at home ? Sorry if I am not clear, I am myself a little lost with…
Crashplan is slow on initial backup, no way around that as far as I could tell. But it's fairly speedy on incrementals after that's done. I haven't assigned any of my SVN/Perforce/Github folders in Crashplan, as they're backed up already in their own clouds. But I don't see why you couldn't simply add the root SVN folder…
I feel like I should share this I was using Crashplan until it recently closed and was very (very) satisfied with it. As they shut it they recommended switching to Carbonite, which I did and was very disappointed as backup of your .obj is not guaranteed and the download feature to get file(s) back on your or another…
Actually, my bad. It is indeed local as you said, but you can choose the folder location inside the settings, which you can find by directly running the program. This seems like it should also work fairly well as source control.
I personally use Synchredible to synchronize between folders and/or hard drives. It's free, quiet straightforward. And Dropbox 1TB for €99.00 a year. Well worth the investment (way more expensive than hard drives solution, but it offers quiet some nice security extras).
For those on a very tight (no budget), and extremely simple home setups, consider checking out this freeware: https://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/index.html They also offer commercial versions as well. I've used the freeware for the last year and have been very pleased. While it does not offer source control, if you're…
Using Dropbox for backup sounds convenient, but I have a concern; using the desktop application, it doesn't seem to be possible to choose which drive the dropbox folder is located in. Are these files actually stored locally at all? Software can access them as if they are. If this case though, it makes it kind of crappy for…
Oh nice, I was going to suggest dropbox for version control, but it looks like crashplan has version control as well. Nice! I will say though that if we're talking about an easy solution, Dropbox Pro would probably be the easiest for the average user. Literally just buy it, put all your art related stuff into the folder,…
Breaking news: Crashplan is exiting the consumer market. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170822005727/en/Code42-Focus-Exclusively-Rapidly-Growing-Business-Enterprise Bummer. Now I need to find a replacement that covers all the things I liked about Crashplan, at an affordable price. * Unlimited backup size * Cloud +…
