Changing the keys is possible under KDE or directly in the source.

The keys F1 (help), F3 (find next), F5 (reload), F6 (run operation for current 
item) and F7 (start directory merge) are already in use.

Would F10,F11,F12 be ok?

[Kdiff3-user] Customizing key bindings?

[Johan H. <hol...@ia...>]

Hi!

Is it possible to change the keys used in "merge mode" to select between 
lines from file A or B. I would like to avoid the current settings where 
I have to press two keys on my keyboard (e.g. "Ctrl" and "1") for each 
selection.

Instead I would like to use some "free" key, for example a function key 
(one of F1, F2, F3, ... if one happens to be free), or some other 
one-keystroke-key.

Thanks,
Johan Holmberg

err . . ., just endeavoring to find out what it would 
cost to have this feature implemented.  i figured you 
were pretty busy and that your lack of time to work on 
kdiff3 might be financially related.


> Do you need this feature very much?

i personally use kdiff3 very frequently for all sorts 
of tasks.  last week i realized that printing diffs 
would allow me to better communicate some technical 
stuff with non-technical people i work with.

i don't need this feature tomorrow but the sooner i 
can print diffs the sooner i can improve my ability 
communicate with non-technical folks.

right now i'm looking to purchase a screen capture 
tool that will capture a scrolling window.  not sure 
it's even possible but the fact that i'm going to this 
length to print a diff gives you an idea of how much 
i'd like to be able to print diffs.

so i'm hearing that your current schedule has little 
free time allocated for the next few months.  and that 
you don't need the money although a donation would be 
appreciated.

basic printing is a feature that i'm willing to 
contribute some money towards.  any other kdiff3 users 
on this list also interested in donating to this end?

here's the direct link to the donation page for any 
other kdiff3 users who are interested:

http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=58666

i'll see how much i can afford and donate shortly.  
i'll probably donate a second time in a couple weeks 
when i'll hopefully be a bit more flush with cash.

i would be happy with a beta-version.

how many hours of your time do you think it would take 
to implement *only* a temporary extension that would 
print just the basic diff?


thanks for the quick reply.

Re: [Kdiff3-user] printing diffs

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi David,

Printing is currently not worked on.

- As you point out printing only areas that are 
different/relevant/user-defined is very important. This is the biggest thing 
because it affects the whole design.
- Otherwise it will need a print dialog and manager that coordinates the 
printing.
- The drawing is currently done in a widget, but they need to be extended, so 
they can also draw to a printer-device instead.
- Some people also want printing of the merge output.
- Some people also want printing of the directory view.

Cheers,
Joachim

[Kdiff3-user] printing diffs

[David M. B. <da...@pa...>]

Joachim ,

is diff printing being worked on?

your forum reply from almost one year ago (march 3rd 
of 2005) mentioned that it was a "big feature", 
implying that it would take some time to implement.

do you have an outline/notes that you can post that 
detail what needs to be done to get printing working?

since even rudimentary printing would be a boon for 
kdiff3 i'd support rolling out the most basic printing 
function that can be implementing with the least 
amount of effort.


please add this to the printing feature wish list:
-
currently the diff view displays all the common 
characters and the differences.  ideally i'd like to 
be able to collapse the common areas (with + and - 
symbols) so that only the areas with different 
characters are displayed.  this would allow a more 
concise printing especially for large files with small 
diffs.
-


thanks for creating kdiff3.


peace,
david

Hi Bernd,

Thank you for the info. I am aware that support for arabic could still be much 
improved. Yet currently I lack the time for more effort in that direction.

kdiff sounds like a great idea, exactly what I've been looking for. So I 
testdrove and had to find out that mixed texts don't work or that arabic 
in general doesn't work. Since I don't want to post some hundred kb in

not joines as they should be in arabic. That's the main problem and 
would be great if this could be solved.

Re: [Kdiff3-user] How to ignore whitespace

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi Andris,

You probably want to select all places with only whitespace differences from 
one source. In the Merge-menu there are commands to select all unsolved 
whitespace conflicts from A, B or C.
The whitespace autoselection in the config-dialog works only for the next 
merge you start.

Cheers,
Joachim

[Kdiff3-user] How to ignore whitespace

[Andris S. <and...@sc...>]

Hi,
=20
How do I make kdiff3 ignore whitespace differences? This is a problem
for me especially when I want to merge files where one branch has
removed all "trailing spaces" (e.g. due to settings in TextPad) at end
of line, while the other branch hasn't. I see one option regarding white
space under Configure - Directory Merge, but that doesn't seem to work
properly.

Re: [Kdiff3-user] compiling on win32

[Marc-Antoine R. <ma...@un...>]

No, QT3.x for windows wasn't released "to the public". So currently only 
people having received the QT3.x libraries personally from Trolltech can 
build it on windows. In fact, this is not 100% true. You can find the 
library in some books and there as even been a gpl port of the Linux 
libraries on sf.net.

Joachim is still porting from QT 3.3 to 4.01. You probably built with 
QT3.3 on Linux. He made an "alpha" version on August that I have on hand 
if you really want to play with it, otherwise just wait that our slave

[Kdiff3-user] compiling on win32

[Jeanson, M. <Mar...@na...>]

Hi All,

=20

I'm trying to compile Kdiff3 on win32. I've downloaded qt 4.01 with
mingw and installed them both. I've done the following:

=20

E:\FAB\KDIFF3~1.88\src>qmake kdiff3.pro -o Makefile

=20

E:\FAB\KDIFF3~1.88\src>make

mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release

Makefile.Release:234: warning: overriding commands for target
`release\kdiff3.o'

Makefile.Release:123: warning: ignoring old commands for target
`release\kdiff3.o'

mingw32-make[1]: *** No rule to make target `release\diff.moc', needed
by `release\diff.o'.  Stop.

mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory `E:/FAB/KDIFF3~1.88/src'

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory `E:/FAB/KDIFF3~1.88/src'

mingw32-make: *** [release] Error 2

=20

Am I missing something? I haven't worked with the Qt libs much, so I'm
thinking I need to do something else. I was able to build it on linux,
but not for windows.

=20

Thanks in advance.

[Kdiff3-user] additional feature

[Volker B. D. <vb...@li...>]

Hi,

in some cases it would be useful to have a exported report in html for
directory and filed content (like guiffy creates - see example under
http://www.guiffy.com/savedasex/About_Diff_ReportW7.html).
Is a feature similar to that planned?
I would appreciate it very very much :)

Volker

To my regrets, no. It took me a few days to go through all that, and
it would take a significant part of that time to go through it again
to record all problems I encountered. As we are here working under
very high time pressure at the moment (and for another few months),
spending that time is simply not possible now and for the near future.

Unfortunately my memory is also not helpful since I did the kdiff3
installation three months ago.

I am very sorry about that, but I'm really not able to help right now.

I can, however, provide the kdiff3 binary I have been able to produce
to the list members, if you don't mind.

[Kdiff3-user] Binary for Solaris 10 x86, to run with Sun Freeware KDE package?

[Juergen N. <jue...@ne...>]

Hello all,

first thanks to Joachim for providing such a well-designed, soundly
implemented, and extremely useful tool! In particular the three-way
merge is a lifesaver in some situations[1]. Kdiff3 has become *the*
merge tool for our software configuration management.

[1] And it is vertainly helpful that it works exactly like the
three-way merge in ClearCase! :-) (I worked with CC at $work[-1].)

We develop software for and on (among other platforms) the new Sun
Opteron machines (x86 architecture) with Solaris 10. I did not find a
kdiff3 binary for this environment, so I took on to install kdiff3
from source against the Sun freeware packages of QT and KDE. This
turned out to be surprisingly difficult (let me spare you the
details), but I succeeded installing QT from source and kdiff3 against
that.

So we can use kdiff3 without KDE support now, which is already a great
thing (as I mentioned above). But in the meantime we saw that the KDE
version (which I can use with Linux) offers the "Configure Shortcuts"
dialog. As we often have larger merges to do, tuning the keyboard
navigation to our needs would be very helpful.

Does anyone have a kdiff3 binary for Solaris 10 x86 that can run with
the shared libraries of the Sun freeware packages in /opt/sfw? I'd be
willing to create a nest of symlinks or LD_LIBRARY_PATHs as necessary,
but KDE support would be great.

Regards, and thanks in advance,
Juergen.

[<sz...@co...>]

Hi,
  Thank you for interest in diff-ext. I'm glad to hear that the extension is useful.
  Yes it is not built with Unicode. So in order to use it with language other than 
English one have to have matching setting for "Language for non-Unicode programs".
You can see it on the "Advanced" tab of "Regional and Language Options".
  There is also a glitch with language selection. If you can not select the desired language
in the setup program look in the registry for th key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Z\diff_ext
The value of "language" variable should match windows locale identifier.
For example, English is 1033(0x409), Russian is 1049(0x419).
See here for more locale identifiers: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_238z.asp

PS: I would really appreciate if someone could translate diff-ext to other languages.
So if you think that you can help me with translation, just drop me a line.

Serg.

Hi

I tried diff-ext, and I saw the problem about language selection. I 
think the extension is not built with Unicode. I would have to build it 
for x64 too...

Beside this, it seems to work well. But since I am using Beyond Compare 
for 2-way diffing, I already have the same kind of functionality.

I added the needed registry key to support folder diffing and it seems 
to work well. Just rip the following text and save it as a .reg file and 
import it. It will add folder diffing.


--------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\diff_ext]
@="{A0482097-C69D-4DEC-8AB6-D3A259ACC151}"

[Kdiff3-user] Context-Menus for FileManagers for KDiff3

[Joachim E. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi KDiff3-Users,

When KDiff3 is installed under Windows, it extends the Send-To context menu in 
Windows-Explorer to open selected files with KDiff3. 

Yama (from www.pclinuxonline.com) also provides such an extension for 
KDE-Konqueror:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=13546

But there is one problem: Both solutions only open files in the same 
directory.

For Windows there is an even better solution. 
The tool Diff_ext by Sergey Zorin is an Windows-Shell extension that even 
allows to select files in different subdirectories and can be used with any 
diff tool:
http://diff-ext.sourceforge.net/
I only encountered two small problems:
- German isn't supported directly and oddly English didn't work, but selecting 
the other language correctly showed the English texts.
- Setup didn't allow to use this extension for directories.
But even so Diff_ext is very useful.

Thanks to Yama and Sergey!

Cheers,
Joachim

Sorry about that - wrong list.   I have kdiff3
confused with xnview.
