Can I use a diff program not listed?
« on: July 10, 2013, 08:41:39 AM »
Hey JD, long time :)

Can I use a diff program not listed in the dropdown or is it limited because each one has to be sent specific parameters in order to load the files?

I'm looking to use the Mac program DiffMerge.  I can switch to something else but was just curious before I started doing my research.

Thanks!
Jace

Sorry for the delayed reply.

No, there's no Other option since there's no standard API or other mechanism between all the Diff apps out there.

I can look to add DiffMerge for the next update.

Cheers,
Jason

As a quick follow up... I have to ask why DiffMerge? It has a 2 star rating on MacUpdate. There are lots of better options.

Yup, there are ;) don't worry about adding support for it - it was just what I had after removing XTools (and subsequently FileMerge).

I'll find a better one :D
