Re: [Kdiff3-user] Change to kdiff3plugin.desktop installation

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

Hi Neal,

I modified the kdiff3.spec file, but I don't understand .spec-files good

I've attached the complete file. Could you please verify it?

If necessary please send the corrected file back.

Best regards,
Joachim
