Re: Default file viewing apps with cvs

Hi Torsten,

Another related question now that I have the edit associations set up
properly: I work with htm/html files a lot so it's important that I can
see their full display when I view a version. With WinCVS I can see the
full html page in Firefox, complete with images and style sheets
loading, but with both TortoiseSVN and TortoiseCVS I can only see the
text and basic non-stylesheet assigned colors that are named in the page
code. I'm guessing that in both Tortoise flavors the associated page
images and style sheets are considered externals so they don't load (??)
Is there a way to make that happen?

Thanks...
