Tortoise SVN + Unreal Commander

I'm using Unreal Commander as a free alternative for total commander(win os). I've chosen to show native icon's and context menu and for tortoise cvs everything was fine. Since I started using Tortoise SVN I don't see it's icons on files and folders, and also if I left click on them I don't see SVN in context menu(still see CVS). But I can see all this stuff in usual win explorer. Does anyone have common situations or ideas what is the difference between them?

If you are on a 64-bit OS, and Unreal Commander is a 32-bit app, make sure you install the 32-bit version of Tortoise SVN in addition to the 64-bit one.

You need to install both versions if you are going to use both types of app with it. (You always need the 64-bit version, at least if you want it to work with Windows Explorer and other 64-bit file managers.)

Off-topic: If you are in this situation, it's also worth noting that it's quite difficult to make a 32-bit file manager show the real view of a 64-bit machine (without also potentially breaking third-party add-ons), since 32-bit processes see a virtual view of the filesystem. (They can turn it off within their process, but that may then break parts of them or other components they load/run which require it or now see a conflicting view compared to the thing that launched them and the arguments it passed.)

SVN and CVS are both version control systems but are pretty apart and don't mix. Usually windows clients connect a folder on your hardisk to a repository and will display information there based on the repo info compared with your local working copy. If you had a connection to a CVS it is not normal to show anything while using SVN as is totally another system.
