[REQ] Internal Compare Tool => Call External Compare Tool

[icfu]

A button and a hotkey to call the manually defined external compare tool from inside the internal Compare Tool

06.09.05 Added: Support for external compare via line in wincmd.ini, e.g.: Comparetool=C:\program files\winmerge\WinMerge.exe

as an alternative to AHK would be nice.

I have spotted an empty space where the three buttons are located...

+1.

All internal tools should give the ability to choice an external one.


Also, I really didn't tested v7 so much, but can't you call an external application with the new hotkeys/aliases system ?

All internal tools of TC use hardcoded shortcuts and disable the rest. TC parameters are meant to be used in file panels only. Correct me if I am wrong.

If TC would offer a possibility to limit hotkeys to windows and controls, we could get rid of hardcoded shortcuts completely and enjoy real freedom. Maybe an idea for future improvement.

byblo: yes with the new system u can create own commands to call external applications.

But they don't work in Internal Compare Tool, MRT, Sync, etc... Nothing has changed here.
