I *love* the DIFFzilla speed-up for multi-file diffs with directories containing many files.
However, there are unfortunately also a few regressions for DIFFzilla released with v24 of SlickEdit:
- The window position and maximized state is not remembered for the Multi-File Diff window.
- The window position and maximized state is not remembered for the DIFFzilla Pro window after hitting Alt+D for a file in multi-file diff.
- Multi-file diff seems to be about one second slower when there are few files to diff.
- The first file to diff is not automatically selected, so one cannot hit Alt+D right away to start diffing.
It would also be nice if DIFFzilla could understand trailing forward slashes so that I could get rid of this hack in my
.gitconfig file (this is not a regression):
[diff]
tool = vsdiff
[difftool "vsdiff"]
cmd = 'C:/Program Files/SlickEdit Pro 24.0.0/win/vsdiff.exe' $LOCAL../left $REMOTE../right
Without "../left" and "../right", I get a SlickEdit error dialog that says: "Error in Path 1". If I replace the
cmd with
echo $LOCAL $REMOTE, then I get this output which makes it clear why the hack is working:
C:\Users\VikS\AppData\Local\Temp\git-difftool.a23132/left/ C:\Users\VikS\AppData\Local\Temp\git-difftool.a23132/right/
