Thank you for providing this program - it *almost* gives the features I'm used to using in a Win32 environment running Beyond Compare to Nautilus. But I'm having an odd problem.
I can get the program to work flawlessly using meld as a comparison tool. When I install my old registered copy of Beyond Compare under Wine in Ubuntu 11.04, I have not been able to get diff-ext to behave quite correctly.
I created a shell script in ~/bin that works:
$ beyondcompare.sh file1 file2
This brings up Beyond Compare running under Wine, and displays file1 and file2 side by side - as expected.
This script contains one line:
wine "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Beyond Compare 2/BC2.exe" $*
I have made another shell script to run meld, using similar logic - and it too behaves as expected from the command line.
That script contains one line also:
/usr/bin/meld $*
When I use diff-ext-setup to select the comparison tool using the meld.sh script (or directly to the /usr/bin/meld), it works perfectly, but when I change it to beyondcompare.sh, it will run Beyond Compare, - but without loading any files.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time.
