Total Commander

First post here https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=447631#p447631 is how to use it as a button, the post beneath it shows how to set it up in the Ini section to replace the TC internal file compare.

To use WinMerge as a button, copy and modify this one
To integrate it, add the following line into the [Configuration] section of your WinCmd.ini.
Modify it for your path:
CompareTool="C:\Tools\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe"

Then you can use a button with the internal TC command
cm_CompareFilesByContent

Thanks to both, Hi5 and Horst !

To still keep the native TC compare, using your explanations, I've added an item ("&Compare2") to the Start Menu with those options:

Command:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Util\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe

Parameters:
%C1 %C2

It works well launching the WinMerge both for 2 files selected in the same pane as for 1 selected in each pane.

Now, I will have to learn to use WinMerge ... !

When comparing two file which have different lines, long one. ( I happen to find it in automatic generated cmake file), TC will only display the windows witdh of two line in the bottom. Please add wrapping or scrollbar

Thank you Horst.

Now I can see the differences easily.
