I have many directories with many files, when comparing manually (the context feature to do so appears broken) the displays the results, but when i try to copy differences from one directory to the other it fails, it appears it fails on 0 byte files, it won't create them to resolve the differences, in UNIX this would be the same as "touch" and "chown".

    (Darn, can't delete Posts either ...). Appears to be a "Line and End Style" conflict, when i choose DOS (i'm on MS Windows 7) KDiff3 crashes stating in a pop-up "Program Error This should never happen: mergeResultSaved: m_pMFI=0 If you know how to reproduce this, please contact the program author."

    So, for the next test i added the word "test" into the 0 byte file and saved it as text.txt.orig and re-ran the comparison (manually, since context menu won't work), this time i was forced to choose (chose DOS) encoding for a 0 byte file and it merged apparently, but the new twst file that was not zero bytes would not merge, see .png attached.
