Change diff tool

[ekravi]

Hi,
Is there an option to use another diff tool besides the original diff tool comes with Total Commander?
How can I change that?

Just press F1 and read 4.b chapter. You will get a lot of useful information.

Code: Select all

[Configuration] 
...
Comparetool=          Set external compare tool for "Compare by contents", e.g. WinMerge

Then cm_CompareFilesByContent command will launch external compare tool. However, command cm_IntCompareFilesByContent will always launch internal comparer if you need it.

Thank you

Been using TC and reading the forums RSS feeds for years and never knew that Diff was part of TC. I had setup a toolbar button to an external tool.

This is why this forum/community is one of the best I've experienced for problem-solving and learning.

Thanks for the tip.
