As the caption states - where is the physical location of tortoises' ignore list?
(i'm not asking how to (un-)ignore files or folders)
TSVN (Subversion per se) doesn't have|use files for this task. Ignore-pattern is ordinary svn-property (of files|folders in repository)
Default global runtime settings for ignore-patterns can be defined in Subversion\config file: [miscellany] section, global-ignores key

I've been developing an nw.js project and use node.js file system functions in it as normal. In my application there is a file manager and I list folders and files according to user navigation. In Windows, for example, if I scan drive C: I get the Turkish named folder "Kullanıcılar" as "Users". I know it's real name in operating system is "Users" and just seen on the screen according to Languages. I can replace names of such folders when dispaying in my file manager but I'm searching for better solution if exists. Thanks in advance.
There's an SO answer here that reads the localized name of a folder in C# using the SHGetFileInfo function which might help you along.
Now I know you didn't ask, but in case you want to know where the information is stored... It's within the directory, in the Desktop.ini file.
For instance, my Windows 10 installation has this in it for "Users":
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=#%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21813
And this for the Images folder within my user folder (bringing this up to show you the additional keys):
[.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=#%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21779
InfoTip=#%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-12688
IconResource=%SystemRoot%\system32\imageres.dll,-113
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll
IconIndex=-236
The #%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-21813 points to having to read the MUI (multilingual user interface) resources, key 21813 for the given file (presumably the # means that it's in this file, not this literal value, but don't quote me on that). %SystemRoot% is an environment variable that points to the Windows directory.
The actual MUI files and their locations are handled by Windows (see the MSDN link above), but we'll just happen to handily know that the MUI file for the US English localization of shell32.dll is system32\en-US\shell32.dll.mui.
Opening up that file with Resource Hacker, we can search for 21813 -- and voila! We can find STRINGTABLE resource #1364 that contains:
[...snip...]
21812, "Extras and Upgrades"
21813, "Users"
21814, "Saved Games"
[...snip...]
I unfortunately don't have tr-TR/shell32.dll.mui available, so you'll just have to trust me that you'd find the Kullanıcılar string there.
How can I change the .eclipse folder in Linux? I tried adding this line:
-Dosgi.configuration.area=/directory/directory1/eclipse/.eclipse
at the top of eclipse.ini but it doesn't work. I've also tried adding it to various other places in the eclipse.ini but still no luck.
Edit
I have added this line:
-Dosgi.configuration.area=file:/directory/directory1/eclipse/.eclipse
immediately below -vmargs. When Eclipse starts, it now reads from the correct .eclipse location and if .eclipse does not exist there, it creates it. Unfortunately, after Eclipse has loaded, another .eclipse folder is created in my home folder and Eclipse then continues to read from that folder. I suspect that my eclipse.ini file is now correct but there is another file I need to change.
The simplest thing to do is probably pass java a different user.home so that all the other myriad of places that derive a location base it off of user.home. So instead of what you have, use this in .ini file:
-Duser.home=/directory/other/here
In addition to .eclipse, you will probably find other directories created in your overridden user.home, such as .p2, .oracle_jre_usage, etc.
Other notes:
-Dosgi.configuration.area is the changes the configuration area for Eclipse, it does not effect user area. You also probably don't want to change that setting away from the default unless you really want multiple configurations (read more below).
Additionally, the normal thing to do would be to use -configuration as an argument to eclipse{.exe} and let eclipse convert it to the appropriate VM argument.
You probably want -user though to override the user area. Have a look at locations in the Eclipse help for more info (quoted below).
However, there are still things that have individual control over their location, such as secure storage, which is controlled by the -eclipse.keyring command line argument.
Locations
The Eclipse runtime defines a number of locations which give
plug-in developers context for reading/storing data and Eclipse users
a control over the scope of data sharing and visibility. Eclipse
defines the following notions of location:
User (-user) {osgi.user.area} [#none, #noDefault, #user.home,
#user.dir, filepath, url]
User locations are specific to, go figure,
users. Typically the user location is based on the value of the Java
user.home system property but this can be overridden. Information such
as user scoped preferences and login information may be found in the
user location.
Install (-install) {osgi.install.area} [#user.home,
#user.dir, filepath, url]
An install location is where Eclipse itself
is installed. In practice this location is the directory (typically
"eclipse") which is the parent of the eclipse.exe being run or the
plugins directory containing the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher bundle.
This location should be considered read-only to normal users as an
install may be shared by many users. It is possible to set the install
location and decouple eclipse.exe from the rest of Eclipse.
Configuration (-configuration) {osgi.configuration.area} [#none,
#noDefault, #user.home, #user.dir, filepath, url]
Configuration
locations contain files which identify and manage the (sub)set of an
install to run. As such, there may be many configurations per install.
Installs may come with a default configuration area but typical
startup scenarios involve the runtime attempting to find a more
writable configuration location.
Instance (-data) {osgi.instance.area}
[#none, #noDefault, #user.home, #user.dir, filepath, url]
Instance
locations contain user-defined data artifacts. For example, the
Resources plug-in uses the instance area as the workspace location and
thus the default home for projects. Other plugins are free to write
whatever files they like in this location.
While users can set any of
these locations, Eclipse will compute reasonable defaults if values
are not given. The most common usecase for setting location is the
instance area or, in the IDE context, the workspace. To run the
default Eclipse configuration on a specific data set you can specify:
eclipse -data c:\mydata
You must put property definitions like this at the end of the eclipse.ini after the -vmargs line. If there is no -vmargs line you must add one.
So:
.... other lines ....
-vmargs
... other arguments
-Dosgi.configuration.area=/directory/directory1/eclipse.eclipse
I know that, whatever data is placed in package/component dir/data, will be copied to the install directory. What I mean is if I have a binary, readme, license.txt inside package/component dir/data/myapp, package/component dir/data/readme, package/component dir/data/license.txt and if I choose my target installation dir to be “/opt/myfirstapp”, then inisde /opt/myfirstapp, I will have 3 files copied, myapp, readme, license.txt.
Having said that, I also have a “/usr” directory with in package/component dir/data/, however this is not the standard “/usr” which will be inside root “/”, it is just a replica. Now inside my replica “/usr” I have some directory hierarchy and some files, like /usr/bin/myapp, /usr/lib/libmyapp.so, /usr/share/icons” and many more, infact a lot. Now I want the replica “/usr” content to be copied to “/usr” (the original usr inside root folder). I should also make sure that I just add new contents to “/usr” (root /usr), but delete any existing content.
Question is clear, some files inside my data directory will have to go to target install dir, but some selected ones (for ex: /usr) will have to be copied to other paths. How do I achieve this.
Currently we have the same problem in my company: we need 2 target directories, one for the exe and one for the libraries (well, it's a bit more complex but in few words...).
After having spoken with Qt support and got the answer that it's actually not possible ("It is possible only after extracting. After extraction, you can use copy or move operation, unfortunately there is currently no other way.") I decided to use the AdminTargetDir as the second target directory. This because there's no other way to pass dynamic variables to the IFW. So after installation I call a "finalizeInstall_patch.bat" file passing the TargetDir and AdminTargetDir and this will move the libraries directory from TargetDir to AdminTargetDir. Why a .bat patch file ? because it's actually not possible to move a directory using the methods provided by the IFW. Qt support just opened a suggestion-ticket for our problem: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTIFW-595
I hope that this answer will help others having same similar problems.
NOTE: There is a way to move a directory (on Windows), calling addOperation("Execute", "cmd /C move source dest...") but this brings to other problems out of topic here.
This worked for us (Qt Installer, macOS):
var args = ["cp", "-R", "#TargetDir#/MyApp.app", "/Applications"];
component.addOperation("Execute", args);
I need to check for the location of a file during program installation utilizing inno setup. I then need inno setup to use the location of that file in the "Filename" line to create a desktop ICON for program initialization. I have the code for the "Icons" option working fine with the exception of how to do the above.
Here is the line of code I am currently using;
Name: "{commondesktop}\SA - NH Bricscad V12"; Filename:"**c:\program files\septic assistant\new hampshire\support\**SA - NH Bricscad V12.exe"; IconFilename: "C:\Program Files\Septic Assistant\New Hampshire\Support\Bricscadlogo.ico"; Comment: "Septic Assistant the only Septic Design Program"
Hi-Lited section would be the path to the exe file that I need inno setup to search for.
Any assistance with this would be very much appreciated.

Just use a {code:...} constant and corresponding [Code] function that returns the appropriate path for your [Icons] entry. You will probably also want to use a Check function to avoid installing the icon in the case that you cannot find the correct location.
Another option is to use a {reg:...} constant, assuming that the path you are trying to locate is specified somewhere in the registry (which is usually the case).
If the path is not already specified somewhere well-defined in the Registry when the other app is installed, and you don't have some other means to quickly identify where the other app is located (note that doing a global search of the user's HD is not a valid option), then you should add a page that prompts the user to enter the location themselves (which you can then verify that they have chosen the correct location). You can see examples of prompting the user for information and then doing something with that info in the CodeDlg.iss example included with Inno, and in the ISXKB wiki.
is there a way to delete files from the c:\users{username}\appdata\local folder? is there a predefined variable for this? Win 7 stores some information in there from my app and i would like to delete theses files upon uninstall.
I know there is a predefined $APPDATA variable but it goes to \roaming not \local
is there a predifeined variable for c:\users{username}\ ??
This path and many others is defined in constants (look at the 4.2.3 section of the Chapter 4 of the manual).
I think you are looking for the $LOCALAPPDATA value that states it is "The local (nonroaming) application data directory".
Remember that you can choose between your account and all users folders resolution of the path constants with the SetShellVarContext command.
