[Kdiff3-user] Problem comparing directories with sym links

[Damian S. <sav...@ya...>]

Hi,
I'm having trouble comparing 2 directories where one 
directory contains sym links. I want kdiff3 to follow the sym links.So in the settings I enabled:
   settings > configure kdiff3 > Directory > Follow file links [TRUE]
   settings > configure kdiff3 > Directory > Find hidden files and directories [FALSE]
but I keep getting this message 
   Error: Conflicting file typesI didnt find any reports of a bug on this feature, so I guess 
Im doing something wrong, just not sure what?

Here is an example of my file structure and command:.
├── dss_workspace
│   ├── a -> ../repo/a
│   ├── b -> ../repo/b
│   └── c -> ../repo/c
├── gitrepo
│   ├── a
│   ├── b
│   └── c
└── repo
    ├── a
    ├── b
    └── c

> kdiff3 gitrepo dss_workspace

I've tried this on two different machines: 
> kdiff3 -v
Qt: 4.6.2
KDE: 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4)
kdiff3: 0.9.95
And
> kdiff3 -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.13
kdiff3: 0.9.98 (64 bit)

Thanks 

Damian
