Re: [Kdiff3-user] Running kdiff3 without KDE

[Dritan L. [M. IT] <dri...@mo...>]

Hi Joachim,

thank you for the answer.

Now I can run kdiff3 on Debian.
It was needed to connect to the server with the option -X i.e. ssh -X 
user@host
and at the server in /etc/ssh/sshd_config at the line X11Forwarding set 
to "yes".

 > Regarding the automerge: If it is sufficient that kdiff3 just 
terminates without saving anything, then I can provide a --no-gui option 
in a future version.

That would be veeeeeeeery nice :-).
I know I should not ask, but nonetheless I'll ask :-)
When could you provide the --no-gui option?

Best regards,
Dritan
