Easiest way to see log of S/Rs?

Question

For a project on which I’m a reviewer (i.e., I enter notes), I’d like to be able to see a log of Send-Receives that I’ve done. I’m not necessarily wanting to see when change have been made, but rather if I’ve done a Send-Receive or not.

What’s the easiest way for a administrator to access this info?

Thank you.

mnjames:

Wouldn’t using TortoiseHg to see the Mercurial logs give you a fairly good idea of when S/R’s were done?

Yes, you can look for merge revisions which would show you times when a S/R likely happened. (Merge revisions are hidden in Paratext’s Project History windows.)
It wouldn’t be 100% accurate as you could do a S/R when no one else had changed anything on the server (which wouldn’t result in a merge revision), but it would give you a starting point.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, Paratext does not keep track of that information so there is no way to check. Why not just do a S/R “now” and then know that everything is up-to-date?

Thanks, F.R. I had wanted to track my S/R log against my e-mail log. I make a habit of sending a message to a co-worker immediately after doing a S/R.

Answer 3

The Paratext Registry, on the History tab of the project, does not show a complete log but does mention when (and by who) the last S/R push was done.

Answer 5

Thank you, all, for your suggestions. Just this week I saw another reason to be able to check the S/R log. I’ve been doing some exegetical checking for a particular project. A day after submitting notes on a chapter, I wanted to see if my co-worker had done a S/R to download those notes. I know that I could have just written to him to ask him, but I’m trying to reduce the number of messages that say “Did you get it?” if there’s another way of finding out.
