I just have a problem with the ClearCase integration : When I check in a file, Kdiff3 GUI appears and it compares the version that's being checked in with the prvious one.
When we checkin, Kdiff3 should not appear, but just tell to ClearCase with an exit code whether new version is different from the previous one or not.

    Hi,
    I wonder if your Clearcase setup is somehow special, because on my system KDiff3 is not called during checkin. Therefore please send more information:
    Did you have some kind of diff-output before installing KDiff3? (Do you have special triggers for Clearcase?)
    Is KDiff3 called with some parameters, which it doesn't understand?
    What Clearcase version do you use?
    I assume that when you remove the Clearcase-integration via KDiff3->Settings->"Integration Settings" then the problem also stops?
    Perhaps you could also upload the file "Program Files\Rational\Clearcase\lib\mgrs\map"?

    Dear Joachim,

    Finally it's OK when I use the Clearcase-integration via KDiff3->Settings->"Integration Settings.

    In fact I didn't notice that kdiff3 has an integration setting within its menus. I heard about your tool with this article: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&uid=swg21256807
    So I followed the article to use your tool and this way I had the kdiff GUI each time I checked in. This article shall be modified to use your tool correctly.

    Thank you very much for this great tool.

    Yann
