Sometimes you want to compare parts of a text that is not an own file. <span class="application">KDiff3</span> also
|
|
|
allows you to paste text from the clipboard into the diff input window that has the focus.
|
|
|
The diff analysis happens immediately then.
|
|
|
In the open dialog you need not specify files then, but just close it via "Cancel".
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
You can also use drag and drop: Drag a file from a file manager
|
|
|
or selected text from an editor and drop it onto a diff input window.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
What's the idea? Sometimes a file contains two similar functions, but checking how similar
|
|
|
they really are is a big effort if you first must create two files and then load them. Now
|
|
|
you can simply copy, paste and compare the relevant sections.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
Note: Currently you cannot drag anything from <span class="application">KDiff3</span>. Only dropping in the diff input
|
|
|
is supported.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
Warning: Some editors still interpret the drag and drop into another program like cut
|
|
|
(instead of copy) and paste. Your original data might be lost then.
