I keep running into a pair of dlgs that complain about vslick.sta is locked, access denied when i have vs open and launch vsdiff separately. I'm encountering this multiples times a day under linux, slickedit 2018. My primary use case that creates this issue is when i use git difftool, when i have vsdiff set as my difftool. Since i set git up this way since i upgraded to vse2018, i don't know if it happened in earlier versions.
Is there any workaround for this?

You could use the -sc option on vsdiff and have a separate configuration for when you are just running vsdiff.

Thanks, i'll try that.

I naively thought just using -sc /tmp would be ok. It did eliminate the lock issue with vslick.sta, BUT my customizations (theme/fonts/etc) were not present. In retrospect, this is obvious.
I thought i'd make a dir just to point vsdiff to when i use git difftool. I just don't know what files i should copy there in order to maintain my customizations. Any thoughts on this?
Considering the two copies may drift over time -- since only one would be updated via vs's menus -- i'd like to reiterate my request for a way for vsdiff (and likely vsmerge) to avoid the lock on vslick.sta
Thanks again for your assistance!

Set up the directory and run vsdiff once, so everything is there. Then copy user.cfg.xml from your "main" config. That should get most of what you need.

That worked, many thanks again!
