accurevwinmerge

Is it possible to configure AccuRev to use WinMerge as its diff/merge tool?


I see in AccuRev's Diff/Merge Preferences tab that the diff and merge tools can be switched to a pre-defined list of third-party tools.

These are the choices I have:

Diff

Merge

Is it possible to add WinMerge to these lists? If so, how?


Solution

  • you can not only chose from the list but also insert any cmdline you need to run, so you can hook in any diff/merge tool that supports being called with parameters. e.g. I use this for diffing:

    NxNMerge.exe %1% %2% /title1:"%3%" /title2:"%4%"
    

    For a description of the parameters open the Tools->Preferences->Diff/Merge in AccuRev and click on the help button.
