[Kdiff3-user] Using KDiff3 to merge several files in one session

[Ross M. <rd...@ap...>]

I thought I should share a scenario that resulted in me overwriting
several of my source files with the wrong data.

 

I was using drag and drop to put the files I wanted to compare into
KDiff3.

I drop the file with bits I want to copy in the left window, and the
file I want to change in the right window.

When I merge, the output file path is that of the file in the right
window.

 

After the first merge, I drop in a new file in the left window and a new
destination in the right window.

I expected the output file destination path to change to the new right
window file but it doesn't!

 

I think if the right window file changes, the merge output path should
change too, otherwise I have to keep closing and opening KDiff3 for each
file pair I want to compare...

 

Of course, I may just be using the system incorrectly, but what I'm
doing seems logical (to me) J
