Ubuntu 14.04 LTS/x86_64 SE v21b RC4/vim
I have a workspace open with SE. I went to a shell and wanted to diff a couple of files (faster than using the GUI to navigate to do what I wanted).
$ vsdiff Makefile.x Makefile.y
Saw the following pop up. Did something change that Diffzilla is now only executable from within SE?? I run Diffzilla frequently from the command line with SE open.
If I close SE, then running Diffzilla from the command line works as expected. This is NOT desirable as I should be able to run Diffzilla whether SE is opened or not.

Let me see if I can reproduce this.
Did you change any options?
You shouldn't get this anyway, but I'm a little surprised because it doesn't sound like you made any configuration changes.
-
I did not.
I painfully went through the menu within SE to traverse and find the two files I wanted to diff and had no problem running Diffzilla from within SE. I noticed in the command line usage that Diffzilla now has a means of launching the dialog from the command line as well as mentioning passing an SE config file, so I suspect that this addition now causes locking issues.
I take that back, I have been playing with the Vitual Memory/Cache tweaks discussed in another thread between jporkkahtc and Clark, but I wouldn't expect this to impact this issue.

Can you reproduce this?
I haven't been able to get this.
-
Yes. Although it appears that I missed a critical step... click in either pane after it starts.
1) Start SE
2) launched vsdiff file1 file2 from outside of SE
3) click in either pane of Diffzilla
-
I was able to reproduce this with different steps. This works every time.
1) Delete My SlickEdit Config directory
2) Launch vsdiff to force it to transfer/create a new config and write vslick.sta on exit.
3) Launch SE
4) exit vsdiff. It will try to write vslick.sta on exit.
This will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks!
