The sourceforge subversion repo for Diffuse seems not to be working. Has it
moved?


Thanks
Mike

To whom would I address a request for a feature addition?

Many times, I'm comparing files in the same path on different servers and I
would use diffuse a lot more if I could click on the "address bar", the
line which shows the full server\path\file, and be able to copy it into the
clipboard, for pasting in one or more other "file open" windows. With it's
current capabilities, I mostly use it for comparisons of more than 3 files,
because there are a couple other comparison apps which are easier to paste
paths into.

Until then beyond compare and kdiff offer faster 2 & 3 file compare input.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Derrick,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have tried moving the panes around, and while it is better, the comparison of the differences on the far right still highlights all the panes, so it is less useful than I would hope for.

At this stage the only way I have found that is useful is to open all the files I think may be relevant.  Look at the various files to see which ones I think look the most useful, then close the tab and re-open another tab with only the files of interest.

For this it is very useful that the file-open remembers where the last file was opened from so it is usually only a couple of mouse clicks to get each file to compare.

Apart from the behaviour of not being able to add/remove from a tab, the program is very useful.  Thank you for making it available.


Thanks,

Tony,

Panes cannot be added or removed from a tab.  This is something I wish to change in a future release but significant redesign is needed to implement it.  As a work-around, you could identify the set of files you wish to compare and open a new tab with just those files.  Another work-around is to move the panes you wish to discard all the way to the left or the right (see the "View->Shift Pane Right" and "View->Shift Pane Left" menu items).

Cheers,
Derrick

Subject: [Diffuse-users] Newbie question - how to remove a pane from a tab

Hi,

I am new to Diffuse, and cannot find out how to remove a selected file from those listed in a tab.

I am trying to look at the history of some old code, which gives me 7 files to compare.

I open them all up in the one tab and have a look at them.

When I find one file that is too old, I want to close it and continue the comparison between the remainder.

Rinse and repeat until I have maybe one or 2 relevant files to use.

Can someone tell me how to close the unwanted files as I go?

Hello Derrick,

thank you for reply.

Yes, the "syntax" folder exists with *.syntax files in it.

I am using Windows 7 64bit.

and yes, the menu View->Syntax Highlighting is empty.
BUT: Am I really forced to have syntax highlighting enabled?

What, if I just want to temporarily compare e.g.two logfiles and no programming code?

Meanwhile I tracked down the reason for error:

The path is not like the simplified one written in the original post:

H:\tools\DiffUse\diffuserc

but it contains here in reality brackets like

H:\tools\DiffUse [v0.4.8]\diffuserc

If I omit the brackets it works here without error popup.

However I use an indicator for the version in all my software.
And all other software works with brackets in path - except DiffUse.

So I guess its a bug in DiffUse.

Could you fix the error in the next release?

Thank you
Ben

Ben,

The error message indicates Diffuse could not load the syntax resource files. I am not very familiar with Microsoft Windows and was not able to reproduce the problem so 
you might need to do a little investigating. When Diffuse was installed, it should have created a directory called "syntax" in the same folder as the diffuserc file. Does this 
folder exist? Does it contain a bunch of *.syntax files? My guess is a file permissions problem is preventing the process from reading the syntax files (or inspecting the 
contents of the syntax folder).

The syntax files basically describe syntax highlighting rules. If Diffuse fails to read these, I would expect there to be no entries in the "View -> Syntax Highlighting" menu and 
no text will have syntax highlighting. I would expect the rest of the application to still function correctly. Deleting the diffuserc file will avoid the error message but will also 
remove syntax highlighting support. I would first check that the "syntax" folder exists and the files inside it can be read by the user. Which version of Microsoft Windows did 
you encounter this problem with?

Cheers,
Derrick

When I call it by double clicking diffusew.exe then an error popup appears

Why?

How can I avoid it?

Can I simply delete diffuserc?

Hi,
Seems like diffuse may support showing all differences between two revisions:
    diffuse -r A -r B
or all differences between a revision and working directory:
    diffuse -r A
But all I get is the Diffuse window with no tabs. If it's not supported, would it be difficult to add?
Thanks,Håkon Hallingstad

Nick,

The "#!/usr/bin/env python" bit was intended to help make Diffuse a bit more portable as Python is normally located at /usr/local/bin/python on some platforms.  This should not be needed any more as the install.py script will update the path as needed during installation or building a package.  It should be safe^{TM} to change it.


Cheers,
Derrick

Subject: [Diffuse-users] Using system Python
 


A common stumbling block that I hit when using Diffuse and Python virtualenvs is that because the shebang of Diffuse is "#!/usr/bin/env python", it grabs my virtualenv, which inevitably doesn't have PyGTK installed then crashes. I've had to explain to another couple users that, "yeah, you need to execute it from outside your virtual environment".

By way of comparison, hg always uses the system Python ("#! /usr/bin/python"). I class Diffuse with Mercurial, machine-specific programs that should use local system resources, not something that should ever change based on the context or environment in which I run it. Can this be altered or is there a deeper purpose to using the environment's Python?

I'd submit a patch but it'd be a bit of a joke; deleting 4 characters ;)

Nick

Eizan,

The preference value should never be None.  I suspect the version of PyGTK on your system is returning None instead of a blank string from text widgets.  Does the following patch fix the problem?

                 for k, v in self.string_prefs.items():
-                    if v != self.default_string_prefs[k]:
+                    if v is not None and v != self.default_string_prefs[k]:
                         ss.append('%s "%s"\n' % (k, v.replace('\\',
'\\\\').replace('"', '\\"')))
                 ss.sort()
                 f = open(self.path, 'w')

Or, do I perhaps have Diffuse installed incorrectly? I installed it with:
$ install.py --prefix=$HOME/opt --destdir=$HOME/opt

note:

$ uname -a
Linux debian 3.2.0-4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.54-2 i686 GNU/Linux
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

What a great tool Diffuse is.

 

I have a question though on how can I save an N-Way file merge view?

 

e.g. I have specified a 10-Way file merge, opened all files one by one and I
want to use that comparison view say 2 days later.

Thank you in advance,

 

Dimitris


Alexander,
You should be able to create a quick and dirty text based N file comparison from Diffuse's source without much difficulty.  I can help point you in the right direction if this is what you want to accomplish.  The inner format used by Diffuse is basically an array of strings for each file representing its lines of text with spacers inserted for alignment.  A separate array of blocks is used to describe manual alignments.


Cheers,
Derrick

Derrick,

This is sad :(

For my purposes I need `diffuse` to be called from terminal/console with bunch of options. GUI is secondly. I thought you are calling some function under the hood that produces diff for N files in some inner format. Then that `diff for N files` is passed to GUI. So, the task now is to program pretty printer to produce text to std-out. If it is tightly coupled then there is a problem...

Unfortunately, Diffuse currently does not have an option to output a patch file.  I 
have only started looking at workflows for using patch files.  
Generating patch files should not be difficult.  I imagine a simple 
dialog allowing the user to pick the tabs to include in the patch and a way to pick the 
root path.  Is this how you envisioned exporting the comparison results?  Reading and manipulating patch files in a convenient way is a bigger challenge.

Derrick
Dear authors,

thank you for diffuse tool.

I wonder how to save `diffuse file1 file2 file3` result to output file like
`diff` do it?

Hello everyone,

I created this list so users of Diffuse can ask questions or have discussions with others in the Diffuse community.

Cheers,
Derrick
