# SCPlugin r390, PowerPC Binary

Download: \[link removed, binary out of date and very buggy\]

Download: **\[link removed, binary out of date and very buggy\]**

A lot of you probably use Subversion, and a quite useful little thing for OSX
users is [SCPlugin](http://scplugin.tigris.org/) (dead link). Its a finder
plugin which offers quite a lot of svn features directly in the finder. But its
only available from source, or some quite outdated binaries, so I went about to
build my own binary from the latest svn revision.

Personally I use SCPlugin solely for its small icon badges on files in the
finder indicating their current status, which I find quite useful. As for actual
svn actions, I mainly use
[svnX](http://www.lachoseinteractive.net/en/community/subversion/svnx/features/)
(dead link), which is a very nice, simple but yet advanced Subversion client. It
gets rid of some of headache you can have using the shell command :)

Download the above file, extract `SCFinderPlugin.plugin`, place it in
`~/Library/Contextual Menu Items` and relaunch finder. Its a PowerPC only build,
since I'm not exactly an OSX developer, and building OSX apps ain't something I
really do, nor know much about...

So if you're looking for an Intel binary, best i can do is refer you here:

**I would like to point out that I'm not fully sure how good this build works.**
Myself I tested updating a working dir, which didn't really work as expected,
but that might be cause I've got the new Subversion 1.4 installed which heavily
changed the work dir database. The icon badges doesn't always appear from the
beginning, but they eventually will.
