Usually the directory merge list view remains visible while a single file
|
|
|
is compared or merged. With the mouse you can move the the splitter bar that
|
|
|
separates the file list from the text-diff windows. If you don't want this,
|
|
|
you can disable "Split Screen View" in the "Directory"-menu. Then you can
|
|
|
use "Toggle View" in the "Directory"-menu to switch between the file list
|
|
|
and the text-diff view that then occupy the full screen.
|
|

|
|
|
Probably you will prefer a simple double mouse click on a file in order
|
|
|
to compare it. Nevertheless there also exists an entry in the "Directory"-menu.
|
|
|
You can also directly merge a single file by selecting it and
|
|
|
choosing "Merge current file" in the "Merge"-Menu. On saving the
|
|
|
result, the status will be set to done, and the file will not be merged again
|
|
|
if a directory merge is started.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
But note that this status information will be lost when you rerun a directory
|
|
|
scan: "Directory"-menu: "Rescan"
|
|
|

|
|
|
Sometimes you need to compare or merge files with different names (e.g. the current
|
|
|
file and the backup in the same folder).
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
Select the exact file by clicking onto the icon in the column A, B or C. The first
|
|
|
file selected thus will be marked with an "A", the second and third with "B" and "C"
|
|
|
regardless on what column they are in. Only up to three files can be chosen like this.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
Proceed by choosing "Compare Explicitely Selected Files" or "Merge Explicitely
|
|
|
Selected Files" from the "Directory"-menu. For your convenience these menu entries
|
|
|
also appear as context menu when you right-click the last selected file.
|
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
|
The comparison or merge of a file will happen in the same window.
|
|
|
If this method is used for directories a new window will be opened.
