Using mercurial and beyond compare 3(bc3) as the diff tool? help needed
- by mhd
Hi,
in windows I am able to use winmerge as the external diff tool for hg using mercurial.ini,etc.
Using some options switch that you can find in web(I think it's a japanese website)
Anyway, here
for example:
hg winmerge -r1 -r2
will list file(s) change(s) between rev1 and rev2 in winmerge. I can just click which file to diff
but for bc3:
hg bcomp -r1 -r2
will make bc3 open a dialog which stated that a temp dir can't be found.
The most I can do using bc3 and hg is
hg bcomp -r1 -r2 myfile.cpp
which will open diff between rev1 and rev2 of myfile.cpp
So,it seems that hg+bc3 can't successfully acknowledge of all files change between revision.
Only able to diff 1 file at a time.
Anyone can use bc3 + hg better ?
edit: Problem Solved !
Got the solution from scooter support page.
I have to use bcompare instead of bcomp
Here's a snippet of my mercurial.ini
[extensions]
hgext.win32text =
;mhd adds
hgext.extdiff =
;mhd adds for bc
[extdiff]
cmd.bc3 = bcompare
opts.bc3 = /ro
;mhd adds for winmerge
;[extdiff]
;cmd.winmerge = WinMergeU
;opts.winmerge = /r /e /x /ub
