Using Semantic merge as diff tool in Perforce
I'm trying to set up SemanticMerge as my diff tool for C# in Perforce.
I've configured perforce with the exe and with the arguments -s=%1 -d=%2 -l=csharp
But when I try to diff a C# file I receive the error:
Could not find file c:\Program Files Perforce\%1
The selected file is not in that location (nor is its filename %1)...
I am no doubt being slow and am trying to RTFM but am also hoping someone here can see what I'm missing
Solution
A user on twitter pointed me at a PDF which I can't believe I hadn't previously managed to find
http://www.semanticmerge.com/documents/SemanticMerge-Perforce.pdf
In short it's necessary to create a batch file to launch external diff and merge tools in Perforce.
